I'm gradually reaching the conclusion that maybe trying to moderate this type of food just isn't the right way for me. For numerous times, i started meaningful changes in my eating habits, and in the beginning, i eat right, i exercise, i see some progress, and i get more and more motivated. Then, after two weeks, my cheat meal comes. Last time, it was pizza and Ben and Jerry's. God, i fucking love Ben and Jerry's.
So, after the cheat meal, i go back to eating ''clean'', but something changed. To quote Eminem, something's wrong, i can feel it. The meals that i was eating with indeed a certain amount of enthusiasm, getting used to them, and getting used to the benefits that they were bringing, all that is gone, i just want fucking pizza and ice cream and cake and cookies and pasta, all of that, you get the drill.
I lose the enthusiasm, the motivation, the strenght that i was beginning to form, and i just binge like a motherfucker with no signs of stopping. But here's the thing, before the cheat meal i was fine, i was progressing, slowly but surely, and my hope was up that this time it was gonna last. But then i ate junk food. And sure enough, faster than the speed of a thousand Usain Bolts, i'm back at square zero.
This happened all my life, this pattern, and i'm thinking that maybe, for this to work, i'm gonna have to stop eating junk food completely, because trying to moderate is killing me, literally. I'm sober for 30 days today, and let me tell you, it's a lot easier to just stop drinking, than to drink just a little, although it's still really fucking hard. But it is easier, at least in my experience. I'm thinking the same could apply to junk food.
So my question is, did any of you do that, with success? And if so, please tell me your experience.
