I'm 26, I've dieted before on and off my entire life. The only other 'serious' diet i've done 6 years ago was one where I allowed myself to cheat. I substituted a lot of junk food with things that mimic that same food (instead of cookies and cream ice cream, whipped cream with a few chocolate chips). But with this diet i've been on for 3 months, i'm finding it easier to just cut out that food entirely and not even try to find a copycat.
For me personally, i'm afraid that letting myself have a taste of my old lifestyle is going to be too triggering for me and to tempting to let it become a more regular thing. Every past diet of mine has fizzled out with "what's wrong with having chicken strips once a week? Okay, twice a week. Okay, I can have a piece of cake" etc. I treated food like a reward before, and i'm afraid to do that again. Oh you had a hard week, go get a slice of Cheesecake you deserve it. I'm afraid if I do that again, even in smaller more reasonable quantities, that i'll fall back into my own ways.
Is anyone similar? Is this sustainable or will I "crack" one day?
