Who needs diet food? Not you or me!

 I don't buy any 'diet' food. The billion diet industry knows they have people who are desperate to loose, so they lure us into thinking we can't live without that prepackaged dinner. . I say forget them. Those dinners are full of sodium, carbs. And for what you get, totally not worth the price.

This is what I do.................

Eat like a thin person!  Smaller portions, no seconds! The goal is not to be hungry. Not to stuff yourself.

When I make dinner for my family and I eat a portion of whatever we are having.  Take last night as an example. I made a hamburger meal, threw in some potatoes and dished it up on a bed of spinach lettuce. It wasn't diet food, but when you control your portions, you can eat most anything. Including sweets, just not everyday. When you have been doing this for a while, you become stronger and can resist sweets. Trust me on this because my husband loves to bake, he does quite often. We have sweets around the house a lot of the time. Tonight for dinner, I had a smaller slice of berry pie, some no sugar added ice cream and a banana. Maybe once a week I'll eat something like that and not have anything else.  It's unrealistic to think that you'll never have anything sweet ever again. Plus, when you say things like that, don't you want it even more? It's a "I can't have it, so I want it more kind of thing". Thin people don't cut off certain foods? No. We don't have to either. The key is to eat some, not all and not everyday.
