If you keep calling it " being deprived" you will always resent your diet and lifestyle, whereas if you accept that you can no longer do the things that you once did, for one of many reasons, you can live with your new behavior more comfortably.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6148717333598941015.post-67034615265565007202010-03-15T20:41:14.412-04:002010-03-15T20:41:14.412-04:00This blog speaks to some issues that I have experienced personally. I felt big and powerful when I was overweight. I did not think of myself as fat. I did not embrace dieting because I thought I would wind up weak and ineffectual if I slimmed down too much. This was of course incorrect reasoning, but it still amazes me today how I did not acknowledge to myself how overweight I was, and instead mentally had the idea that I was only minimally overweight. The mind can play all kinds of tricks on you, and I have witnessed this first hand. Accepting the truth is not often an easy thing to do.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
