New Plan
Tuesday, February 10th, 2009So… i want to TRY something new but every time i try, I fail. I want to eat LEAN meats and protein (chicken, turkey, tuna etc) and GREEN veggies, leafy things and such. And then just water and PLAIN tea.
I want to get away from fat and sugar as much as possible but I keep falling back into my old ways when i try this. When I eat things like meat and veggies it triggers cravings for salt and fat and carbs. I know a "little fat" is ok and even recomended (the GOOD kind of "fat" of course)… but the problem I’m having is again, eating veggies and lean proteins CAUSE triggers for me.
Like if I cook myself some spinach, i’ll want to put butter on. If I put a tiny bit of butter on, WHAM! It makes me want MORE butter and salt and then i’ll want to put some bacon in there etc. That didn’t actually happen but it’s just to give an idea of what i mean.
Or if I drink water i get so BORED of plain tasteless water… so i have tea, and no matter what i always want sugar in it, so I’ll put a tiny bit of sugar in it and then WHAM! I’ll want to add MORE sugar and then add milk too! (because I actually have always loved milk and sugar in my tea).
Then there are times I thought "well maybe i need "some" sugar" so I will try to have a small piece of fruit, and again WHAM! I’ll just want to have all fruit instead of anything green.
So now I am at a loss of what to do. I also tried cutting out sugar and fat completely (or, well you know almost completely)…. it usually lasted till late night cravings kicked into high gear and I caved by night fall. I am so lost… what can i DO??
