I won’t be starting my official weight-loss program, using cognitive-behavioral therapy, until the start of the year, but I am “warming up” to it by cutting back my daily intake to 1500 calories in advance. This way I will get over my cravings before I even start, which hopefully will make things easier.

Another reason I’m starting now is that I ate so irresponsibly over Christmas. I pretty much ate whatever was in front of me, so I had tons of fruitcake, candy, cookies, cheese, butter, gravy, the works. I even had eggnog with whipped cream, which I know is a huge no-no. But I can’t be mad at myself, I can just say, “No more of that!” In future I will plan out a way to deal with tempting occasions like holidays, family visits, etc. I can have some of the food but shouldn’t eat everything in sight!
