out of habit?

Question

i dieted and lost the amount of weight i wanted to lose, but now im still staying on the diet, and i was going to have just a little more wiggle room than the strict one before. but now every time i have anything to eat that is outside my diet, i feel guilty,...like ive done something bad. i know that one candy bar wont make me gain weight, but i still feel guilty eating it...why is that

Answer 1

Because there is over empaisiss on weigt in our Society and primarily the Entertainment Media. Certainly many Americans are to heavy but some young women are to skinny. To be heathly and happy you should find the happy medium. Keep your weight down yet realize that food is one of life's gifts to enjoy. It is one pleasure that is not sinful. If you put 5 pounds on your still fine. If you feel guilty about that chocolate bar merely take a little walk. It is not evil to enjoy our abundance.

Answer 2

Because you didn't allow a weight loss plan that allowed you to have anything you want but just in moderation, you have deprived yourself so long that you are still in diet mode thinking. only eat part of the candy bar, sit down and enjoy every bite

you have worked hard to lose weight and if old habits were eating junk- one candy will hurt that leads to another and another then you are back where you started.
This thought is want make most "diet" fail in the long run.
Diets are not short terms changes but long terms ways of eating.
