I am not really dieting right now but I am trying to control my weight.<br /><br />Like you, I have limited myself to pizza once every other month. Then I eat it, enjoy it, and refuse to feel guilty.<br /><br />It wouldn't be so bad if I liked the thin crust type pizza. But, no, I like the thick deep dish crust.Joanhttp://www.essential-home-remedies.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1692852390886802172.post-91815041861426871622009-04-07T08:45:00.000-07:002009-04-07T08:45:00.000-07:00Honestly, I have a whole menu of food weaknesses! ...Honestly, I have a whole menu of food weaknesses! The first step for me in controlling them was not to have them in the house (so no pre-made rice puddings, chocolate bars, etc.) But there was a point when I made them 'forbidden' and quite frankly, it made me unhappy. I much prefer the trade-off solution proposed by Brian Wansink: what am I willing to give up in exchange for eating my weakness food? And is it worth it? This thinking has helped me control the weaknesses w/o completely eliminating them from my life!Tangled Noodlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17543997083087131116noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1692852390886802172.post-69696927615012779982009-04-07T03:09:00.000-07:002009-04-07T03:09:00.000-07:00I believe that many, if not all, women, have the ...I believe that many, if not all, women, have the similar conflicting experiences when comes to diet. I used to just eat fish, veggies, and fruit....no carbohydrates, no pork, no beef, no chocolate, no cheese, no wine, no desserts, no nothing.....once I made a record for eating 11 apples a day, as a consequence, my stomach suffered and I felt like hell. I have learned not to go to extremes, but there are still days I love to pamper myself with a little more of this and that. Like yesterday, I had a huge chunk of my fav. moussecake with one or two glasses of sparkling wine in the afternoon, so I told myself to leave the dinner away and had 2 slices of bread and 2 pieces of Gouda together with a whole cup of Puer tea. (Anyone knows Puer tea? It helps to break down oily and fatty food and aid digestion. )Angie's Recipeshttp://angiesrecipes.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1692852390886802172.post-21807689874356579392009-04-06T23:29:00.000-07:002009-04-06T23:29:00.000-07:00I am so happy to have found your blog, thru Goldil...I am so happy to have found your blog, thru Goldilocks blog, and I'll keep following this because I am all about the weight loss too.

I always have the best intentions when I open the box but it all goes out the window with the first bite.
