I was recently asked by someone; "At what point did you stop thinking about everything you ate and it just became natural?"
This is a very good (and valid) question. I don't mean to burst anyone's bubble but the honest truth, in my case, is that I have never stopped thinking about my food choices. I have definitely taught myself how to better control my portions, choose healthier options, and avoid trigger foods, but becoming completely mindless in my lifestyle (diet)...not so much!
I am to the point where I really enjoy fresh and healthy foods, so making the wise choice is not hard for me. I guess I have been blessed because I actually like fruits and vegetables! Another motivation to make the right choices is how great I feel now, as opposed to 100 lbs ago. I don't mind steering clear of fatty foods because I know what the consequences to those are!
I know this may sound funny, but I'm usually thinking about my next meal as I'm eating the current one! This is due to 2 things...I am a foodie at heart :-) and because diet is all about planning. The best way to be successful in your weight loss journey is to make it priority to plan ahead. For all of those spontaneous types, this can be difficult!
The bottom line is that if you are really determined to make a change, and willing to endure a few small sacrifices in order to achieve it, YOU WILL BE SUCCESSFUL!
