Balance

In this area of food I had to be honest with myself and admit that I have no self-control.

The times that I have tried to control and restrict the goodies I eat have been a miserable failure. I realized the source of my failure to be the restriction itself. It has been much easier for me to have control as I have given myself 'permission' to have my goodies, but only at certain times. Having this 'permission' has greatly alleviated the fear of failure associated with controlling what I eat. I find it is easier for me to maintain this control, and delay my gratification, because I know I have this brief period of splurge to satisfy myself.

Without that, I think I would be indulging myself all of the time. The bottom line is that I have a more positive attitude about my nutrition and diet, as well as the gratification of enjoying the foods that bring me pleasure. I guess that is what you'd call a 'balanced' diet?
