For health reasons, I'm on a very strict diet... very, very, very strict diet. No dairy, salt, sugar, sugarified or processed food. No Mexican food unless it's all natural and healthy... *shaking head* Needless to say it's very hard to stick to the diet. There are always sweets in the kitchen and everyone has a sweet tooth, even those professing to be eating healthy. They do it a escondidas (behind closed doors or at my mother's).

Our lives revolve around food, it seems... Chanting Kundalini Yoga and Buddhist mantras is helping me not give into temptation as much and having healthy snacks around helps a lot (e.g., 21 Whole Grains bread, fruit and pure, organic honey).

I gave into temptation a few days ago--on the 30 and 31st, as well as yesterday. But no more hopefully. I'm going to be honest in this thread about my eating habits--when I give into temptation and what I eat. Hopefully that'll help me stay true to myself and not give in throughout the winter.


EDIT: Oh, I forgot to mention... I've lost 30 or 40 lbs on this diet. I haven't weighed myself 'cause our weight scale is broken, but... I don't feel the need to really. I just know I've lost a lot of weight and need to buy new jeans soon--really soon!
