One Peeve

I have one gripe with this diet - and really, any diet plan. Because I kind of have to keep track of when I eat and what I'm eating - I am so focused on food all day. I constantly think, what time do I eat next? And when that happens, it makes me hungry.

I picked up 6 packages of Orbit sugarless gum today (on sale, $1.50 for a 3 pack) that help.

Last night there was a show on about all the different cool McDonald's restaurants in the world. And that made me salivate thinking about french fries.

So diets suck - because they only make you think about food you can't have more.

I always try to convince myself that I don't want the food. When I start trying to say I can't HAVE it, it makes me crave it even more. I've had a big craving for ice cream the past two weeks or so, and I told myself I can have some. When I really want it, and the craving has subsided quite a bit. Figures though, we had a pizza and ice cream "party" at work here today. I was good though, one small cup of diet coke and lots of explaining to everyone else that I'm trying to be good with my diet. I think that's harder than actually avoiding the food, is all the questions about "why aren't you eating?"

I know - Shannon posted a thing on her LJ about that very same thing. If you don't want it, people really shouldn't like, push you to eat it.

But when I have guests over, its impossible for me not to offer something, or feel bad if they don't want to eat anything...I guess its one of those hospitality urges or something. Like, when I go to my mom's or my grandmothers - they HAVE to feed me.
