One Free Meal A Week?

Pros? Cons? Your thoughts... -------------- Dave ---------------------------------------- Eu achei um amor que é bom para mim...

My favorite, however, is when my girlfriend cooks!!:love: -------------- Dave ---------------------------------------- Eu achei um amor que é bom para mim...

But be careful, when you do this it's easy to fall right back into old eating habits. Mondays are difficult for me as far as diet is concerned. I feel like I have to start over training myself to eat healthy. One other thing is food should never be a reward. Reward yourself with new clothes, jewelry,..... Just look at it as giving yourself a break.:big_smile: -------------- "One Ring to rule them all; One Ring to find them; One Ring to bring them all, and in the Darkness bind them." -LOTR Trilogy

I noticed this a few days in advance so i stop for two day so that i could continues the diet without breaking later on, i figured it would be more beneficial to me. Anyways, those two days i didn't gorge myself or anything ate light, but it's been hard for the first few days afterwards but I get paid today so thats good. just remember you are the master of the food the food not the master of you.
