Eating anything you want - and still losing!

It can be done, friends.  I am pretty much proof.  I have been through a good two weeks again and lost a pretty good deal of weight for that time.  However, I haven't deprived myself at all.  You can't.  It is what I think keeps me going.  I can have anything I want.  In fact, I went out for dinner at a Mexican place on Friday and ate what I wanted.  However, after starting this what I wanted has changed but I would have had anything I wanted regardless and not felt bad.  Why, you ask?  Because I know that I don't do it everyday, that I won't be doing it again soon and that I have eaten the right way all day to allow me to have it.  And the cool thing is, I still lost weight over the period that I had it. One meal will never destroy your progress - unless it is followed by another meal like that and then another.  It's all about moderation and portion control.  I had pizza a couple of Fridays ago, but I fit it in my calories and probably enjoyed it more than I would if I had double what I ate or had just had it a few days before.

I think coming to terms with the fact that you can eat this stuff even if you are making a change is good.  I know that if I had to live my life without ever having pizza again I wouldn't be the happy go lucky person I am.  So go forth, measure and weigh and eat in moderation!
