I’m on the merry go round, but I’m seat belted in. I want to be anywhere but on that horse! If it starts spinning just a tad bit faster, I just know I’m going to go flying off into the ozone!

I know what’s good for me and that’s the only thing I should be putting into my body. It’s not what I want…simple as that. I need to keep thinking moderate amounts and not mass quantities.

I’m tryin to learn.

this is a wonderful post!

I personally know I have work to do on the processed to whole, more veggies/fruits/etc. – but know that it’s something i’m working on. I feel like it’s a lifestyle change not a diet. The idea of living to eat is appealing to me, but I know sometimes life stresses come about and I need to live to eat/stress eat! So when this happens I’m trying to be prepared to have things on hand that won’t hurt me. If this makes sense at all! One thing I am excited about – healthy food tastes better every day and I’m learning more ways to cook with it!

I'm on the misery-go-round. I want to replace the junk with healthy choices and actually acquire a taste/pleasure for the healthy stuff and a distaste for the poisons. I know what's good and what's bad, but when the sugary drug is in front of me it's like I can't think, and I just do. .-= Gina Fit by 41, Maybe 42´s last blog ..Gina aka Cookie Monster =-.

I read somewhere that in Medieval times, “diet” meant a way of living. I liked that and adopted it for my own purposes. When I think of my “diet” now, it encompasses so much more than food choices. So, for me, ‘B’ is the definition of choice, I think.

This is something that changed significantly from my last time to this time. I'm now eating real food and eating what I love, in moderation. Last time it was all fake sugars and unreal stuff, this time it's mostly real food, limited portions and deliciousness! .-= mackattack´s last blog ..Not what I planned =-.

I generally don’t like to use the word “diet” because whatever changes I make, I do it for the long-haul – not temporary until I reach a goal. I rather say “way of eating” though I know its more of a mouthful than diet. No pun intended.

I just wanted to say that I am trying my hardest to not let this become just a "diet from my past" but a new way of eating for the rest of my life. It requires a conscious daily effort. .-= josie´s last blog ..“No one would ever know” =-.

Have you ever seen “Crazy Sexy Cancer?” Your friend’s story reminds me a lot of the woman’s story in that documentary.

I think part of the reason why I was so successful at losing weight this time around is because I saw it as a “life long diet change” instead of a “temporary diet change” until I lost the weight. However, even then, it was still focused on foods that would progress weight loss. What really changed my perspective was training for the triathlon. Food all of a sudden became a very important source of fuel for me, and I wanted to make sure I was feeding my body the best foods I could to get the best performance possible. I’ve kinda hung on to that mentality. Although, as you know, I still let some M&Ms in there for my mental health

I think it is so important to always remember that what we eat affects our bodies in so many ways: our health, our emotions, our energy level. The food we choose should never be only about weight loss (if that’s our goal) but about how to best nourish our bodies. And we all are different and have to figure out what works for us. That’s why I think finding a way of eating that works for each one of us forever is so important.
