You must act as if it is impossible to fail.

i notice that when i leave my food choices to fate it ends up being really unhealthy by default. so i've been doing alot of research on snacking and meals, and i am gonna stick to a "maximum 2 snacks a day, only if i need it" basis, and the traditional 3 meals of breakfast, lunch and dinner.
i am going to do a one meal only type fasting on Fridays. i was reading some articles on the occasional fasting, it is also something that is practiced religiously in my culture. i remember last year i was doing this prayer, where i had to fast on consecutive tuesdays for however many weeks and i felt really good during that time.
i really want to eliminate junk food, but i realize i am emotionally attached to this food because all through life i have celebrated the junk. Think Birthday cakes, Dessert, Halloween treats, etc. Every special occasion in most our lives involves splurging on junk. What this is teaching me is that i have to build a lasting relationship with healthy food, in a similar celebratory manner. i don't know exactly how i am going to do that, but I have to find a way. i am good at drinking my green tea, i revere the time spent sipping on it - it gives me much peace and happiness. i just have to incorporate other healthy foods in a similar way.
everyone around me comments on how much my face has gotten slimmer. i can almost see my left cheek dimple again. i have a weigh in looming over me tomorrow - i hope i do good...
to the stars,
uma
