SPLURGES
Deprivation IS NOT sustainable. If you are depriving your self...STOP...it will not last and you are wasting your precious time, life and energy on uselessness. Weight loss and management is about eating healthier and moving more and enjoying some splurges along the way. it's not ONE piece of cheesecake that makes you overweight. Mostly it's our day in and day out eating. Throughout our day we have to learn to negotiate. If we want a yummy dessert then if we have a light breakfast, snacks throughout the day of fruits and veggies, a sensible lunch and dinner we can make it work!! For me, I could have lost weigh a whole of a heck of a lot faster if I would have GIVEN UP on all those foods that I just love. I didn't! I ate them in very small quantities and negotiated them in my plan. I know that I would have given up if I had been extreme and cut out all of those things. I would have worked really hard for two or three months and then would have stopped trying and gained the weight back slowly over time.
