Does this way of thinking sound familiar to you? Having been a “serial dieter” all my life, I always used the excuse of of “Waiting until Monday”. No matter the situation or circumstance, if I binged one day during the week that one day quickly turned into 5, 6, 7 days and I would tend to eat myself sick! And each and every time I’d wait until Monday to get back on a crazy strict diet. Up until several months ago this was kind of love hate relationship I would have with food. But here’s the bigger issue–my metabolism and I don’t get along very well to begin with so, 20 plus years of binging and dieting have really made it difficult to it going at a steady pace.

So it wasn’t until my thinking changed back in March of this year, when I had this moment of clarity and realized every opportunity I have to eat something, that is my “Monday”. Think about it, depending on the person we eat anywhere from 4-6 times a day. And if I eat something “unhealthy”, I have the opportunity to move on and make a better choice at my next meal or snack. So having this type of outlook, helps me to be more consistent with my eating and keeps me from going into a downward spiral if I make ONE bad choice! It’s definitely worth giving it a try and I really recommend it if you find yourself in the position that I used to be in!

Best of luck!
