I am SO hungry. Every second thought is about food. Not just any food, but the most ridiculously calorific food-fests I can imagine. Why does my psyche torture me so?
Long story short, I have a little extra around my middle that I want to shift. I've been pretty lazy and slackish about it because hey, I've never been significantly overweight. I look okay. But I know that I'll never feel really good if I don't make more effort and get into good shape rather than meandering around 'average'.
I've tried so many 'diets' to try to change my eating habits, because although I am a sensible eater, DAMN I like to snack. So this time I've decided to be really strict. Cereal bar for breakfast, low-fat soup for lunch, and a healthy small dinner, with small amounts of fruit for snacks. But god it's not getting any easier XD;
I guess I just have to admit that I'm a glutton. It would absolutely be my Deadly Sin. I love to eat. Really, it's amazing that I'm not more than a tiny bit over the best weight for my height. I probably should thank overall health and a speedy metabolism for that, but I know that won't last forever.
So, now that I have a cupboard filled with the only stuff I'm allowed to eat, with exactly the right amount for the week, I have no choice but to stick to it. If I eat more than my share, it won't be there for the rest of the week until I shop on Saturday :P
I'm currently avoiding (but not completely abstaining from) wheat and milk (using soya where I can), only eating food with a low GI index, and keeping my daily calorie count below 1,000. IF THAT DOESN'T SHIFT THIS STUBBORN BIT OF EXCESS THEN I DUNNOOOOOO.
Edit: Yikes! Thanks for your concern, everyone :) You're right, 1,000 is a little bit too small. I'm actually eating more around 1,200, which I've researched and found is safe for my height and weight ^^ I'll be sensible! Most of all I'm keeping my nutrition balanced with fruit, veg, protein and a small amount of carbs (no Atkins for me :P). And exercising.
Thank you all for the concern! I'm glad nobody wants me collapsing of malnutrition XD;
