Good Tasting Food

I am amazed at how good food tastes now since I began cutting back. I have always been a "comfort eater" and anyone who understands that, knows how uncomfortable that can be. Although initially comforting, when physical discomfort finally forces the comfort eater to quit, the emotional battering kicks in. Why did I do that? How could I eat that entire package of (fill in the blank) ? What is wrong with me?

Some comfort, huh?

Sometimes people who have a weight problem will say they enoy their food too much to give it up. I used to say that. It was a lie. I didn't enjoy it at all.

Dieters have a disadvantage when compared to people giving up alcohol or cigarettes. We still have to eat, and yet, learn how to control it at the same time.

It is tough, but learning to do it is going to be the best thing I ever did for myself.
