Each of us has days when we feel extra hungry. When this happens, EAT MORE! Might this slow down your weight loss? A little, perhaps, but so what? Needing a few extra days to achieve your weight loss goal is not a problem. The real problem is not eating enough and getting hungry and depressed. Because when this happens, you’ll stop dieting and start bingeing.
All dieters experience “bad days.” Unfortunately, most of them insist on perfection. So if they visit a friend and finish up eating 2 containers of ice cream and a box of cookies, they go to pieces. They become overwhelmed by guilt at not being perfect, and quit their diet in disgust. But eating the ice cream and cookies is pretty harmless - you need to eat a very large amount of food (3500+ calories) to gain just one pound of body fat - the real damage is caused by the guilt that follows. So what’s the answer? DON’T TRY TO BE PERFECT! Once you stop seeing yourself as the PERFECT dieter you’ll feel entitledto make occasional mistakes, and you’ll find dieting much easier and much less stressful.
