Worst thing...

The worst thing for me is sometimes I have to tell people I can't have lunch with them because I'm 'busy' when really I just don't want to cheat on my diet. :blushing:0

Worrying about how many calories do I have left, everyday, all the time.
Also anger at not being able to eat what I want because of CARBS or GLUTEN.... that is really beginning to both anger & depress me. :{
Are you off carbs and gluten on medical advice?
Carbs are not evil. There are carbs in most fruits and vegetables. A calorie is a calorie. Even doughnuts are not evil unless you eat a lot all the time - they can be factored into your calories if you really want one. The issue is portion control - 75g pasta (pref. wholemeal) is a sensible portion, 150g of white pasta is not.
Unless your doctor has said NO carbs get a food scale and weigh your portions. If your Dr has said no carbs or gluten without running tests, get a new Dr.0 -
What's the worst thing about dieting for you? For me it's constantly thinking about food. Just like when I was giving up smoking, all I thought about was having one.
Definitely agree about thinking about food constantly & thinking about what I'm going to have to meet my calories for the day.0 -
Not being able to just eat whatever I want, whenever I want, in however much quantity I want. Not being able to just eat mindlessly.

Those brief moments when I realize I'm never going to eat this or that again. Thoughts like this occasionally happen at restaurants when seeing plates piled high with foods I will never eat again. But I kick them out of my mind. Thank goodness I am happy with my healthy food & rarely have moments when I think this way.
The foods I am never going to eat again have been banished because they are bad for my health & I'm not going to eat them for momentary pleasure when it can lead to serious illness & make doctors and big pharma rich. The statistics and science both say this is what is happening in the US.
I'm not on a diet. I've made serious & permanent changes to my nutrition & lifestyle. The improvements I've seen in my health because of it mean I cannot - and will not - turn my back on it.0
