Why Weight Management Isn't About How GOOD You Eat

People often sit in front of me in my office and tell me what they eat when they are "being good". Many times I thought I eat my healthier days. However, they are still in my office for advice on how to lose weight and keep it off. You see, it's not about how well you eat, what you eat bad when you're not "be good".

I identify with this firsthand because I used to be the queen of eating perfect for "x" number of days, and then turn around and polish a pint of Ben & Jerry's® or bag Oreos®. I also used to fight to keep my weight and I checked pre-diabetes. So I decided to throw my scale and change my thinking. Now,

 as for the food, even my best days are far from perfect and my bad days are not really so bad. And guess what? My weight is very stable, I can enjoy my food, I do not feel guilty about eating "bad" foods, not perfect, but I eat well, and I'm not pre-diabetic anymore.

If you eat until you are full, uncomfortable or down right miserable, which is your body telling you "Hey! You eat too much!"
