Today I need to leave a reminder to myself, regarding my new diet : just obey it! I was wondering what would be the best way to cut the amount of treats I destroy daily. I'm in ok shape usually, but I'm a non-stoppable sugar teeth and a chocoholic combined with a huge, open heart for greasy food like pizza and hamburgers. I want to stay honest to myself and admit I'm never gonna say 100 % goodbye to desserts, candy or cookies. So, I need something to control the amount of tasty sugar and fat. Then I came up with my "double or nothing" diet. Or actually I don't even want to call it a diet, because if it works, I can use it for the rest of my life as it's so easy to obey..Anyway, want to know how it works?
Rule 1: You can eat anything you like
Rule 2: If you eat unhealthy (candy, icecream, cookies, pancakes boiled in grease), you have to double the unhealthy part with a fresh fruit, vegetable or fruit - prefarabely in advance
Rule 3: That's all you have to remember
Feeling doubtful? I'll give you an example. If I want to eat a slice of cake, I have to eat my healthy stuff in advance and by double comparing to the amount of unhealthy cake slice. A large orange can be compared to a normal slice of cake, and then just double it = 2 large oranges before the cake slice and I'm enjoying the heavenly piece of dessert with a halo above my head.
What's the difference to my normal life? A significant change is that, normally I would've had 2nd piece, then a 3rd piece, until I would be feeling sick and definetly going to bed later with a bad conscience. (You know the feeling: "What are you doing to yourself woman! Where's the self control??") But now I'm predicting I could only bare 2 oranges in advance. If I would've assumed I want to eat 2 pieces of cake, I would've had to eat 4 oranges (no way jose)! The same thing with pizza for example: I'll settle for a 1/4 plate of a pizza, if I know I only have to eat 1/2 plate of salad for starters. For a whole plate of pizza I would have to stuff 2 big plates of salad to myself in advance and you'll see Barack and Osama highfiving each other before that happens..
Why I'm willing to obey this? Because of the rule number 1: I can eat anything I like! As nothing is forbidden, I have no temptations. It's only the huge amount of healthy food I have to eat too, and that, I know will slow me down.
I'll keep you posted how this "diet"..No, "a new lifestyle" will work out and will it make wonders on my daily habits as a proud candy fan.
