I'm finding the process of letting go of old foods is a slow one.

If I start thinking of some foods as forbidden, I start obsessing over them and want them even more. On the other hand, I have to be careful to recognize some foods can be triggers for cravings and I have to proceed with caution.

Lately I have established "The Rule of One" regarding non-LC foods. I may have one cookie, one chocolate or one bite of whatever it is I'm yearning for, and that's it. But first I have to engage in some inner dialogue to determine if it's what I really want. Oftentimes it isn't. This has worked well this past week. The challenge will be when I hit the PMS phase of my cycle.

Regards,
amie

PS When I first read it, I thought Toner's original post to start this thread was a sarcastic jibe, trying to provoke a reaction. - but hey, that's just my interpretation. On re-reading it, perhaps there was some degree of sincerity at first. Didn't last long though IMHO.
