The relapse will provide an intense, but only temporary, satisfaction. Perhaps the greatest risk for imbalance comes when we are too focused on what we “should” do and not enough on what we want to do. Of course, we need to do what we should do. But in balance!

  • A Healthy Meal Plan Can Be Ruined By This Common Diet Mistake! - Many Dieters have noticed a "free day" trend on popular Weight Loss Plans.

On that seventh day you can forget your healthy meal plan and binge to your heart's content. The reasoning behind this trend is to ward off starvation signals the body may get from being on a restrictive diet. If a dieter gives themselves permission to cheat once a week, they're more likely to keep up a healthy meal plan over the long run; as oppose to quitting all together.

About ten years ago, they became fashionable. The lower-middle classes started taking them up. Unfortunately, unlike last years' shoes, tattoos cannot be taken to the thrift shop and disposed of. To a certain class of person, tattoos are 'cool'. To another, they are a graffito on the temple of the soul. They mark a woman definitively as lower class, alienated, depressed, and a bit daft. They are also a handy way to identify one absolutely to the authorities. This shows how stupid some crooks are. The same goes for piercings. My family are farmers. I associate nose rings with bulls, and piercings with cattle tags. They are a haven of dirt, infection, and their openings look unsightly.
  • Are You Hungry? - People who struggle with weight often have difficulty identifying the difference between true physical hunger and head hunger.

I should know as I’ve been yo-yo dieting for most of my adult life now. I would go from one diet plan to another and stick with it only long enough for it to work a little. At which point I’d get tired of it and go back to my rounds of binge-eating. Naturally this wasn’t healthy, and only by a great effort on my part have I now decided to turn my whole life around. Instead of alternately bingeing and dieting I’ve now decided to go the healthy route and am now going in for sensible eating ideas and regular exercise.
