I binged on Valentine's Day and since then have decided to work on eating and enjoying a small treat every day, much like you describe doing in your blog. I think it will help with the restriction/overeating cycle I was starting to engage in (was still engaging in? not sure).<br /><br />I don't know how long I'm going to do this. The problem is, my mind is already whining about "NEVER getting to have" a big piece of cake or whatever. I probably just need to give it time: after considering a pint of ice cream to be a single serving for years and years, one scoop is bound to look paltry.<br /><br />Nevertheless, I am curious: do you ever eat a sizable dessert? Did you ever do so while working actively at weight loss? Was there any particular way you convinced yourself that for the most part, "less is more" when it comes to dessert? <br /><br />Neither rational thought (e.g. "it doesn't taste as good after the third or fifth bite anyway") nor Buddhist-style detachment is solving this quandary for me at the moment. Any thoughts?Human In Progresshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14141421581818137190noreply@blogger.com
