how to I deal with the thoughts of "I need comfort"?
Remind yourself that f**d will not bring you comfort for one second longer than it is in your mouth, but it will make you feel worse after you have eaten it, for many hours. And you don't want to feel worse than you do already, right?
Take comfort in a long hot bath, wrap up in your duvet, watch some TV, have a hot (black) tea or coffee and give yourself an early night.
how to I deal with the thoughts of "I can't diet when I've got a cold"?
Think of it this way;
You are not on a diet.
You are on a lifestyle adjustment and management program.
Works for me!
F**d and eating is only part of it, you are in this to change your mentality and your lifestyle as well. and seeing the dreaded "f" word as providing comfort is what's gotten you to this place, correct?
So keep telling yourself that. After all, eating is not a cure for a cold!
Excuses of
not to do things, easily become challenges
TO do things! Just turn it around!
Instead of "I can't diet when I've got a cold", make it "How much can I prove to myself if I can 'diet' while I push of this pesky cold?"
Think of it as your next challenge; you've done the 1st day, the 1st week, and almost the fortnight. Soon, you'll be able to say "I've done a "flu" week, and if I can do LL through a cold, then I can do it through anything!"
