I am bad at the MWL program
Posted: Fri Apr 20, 2007 12:38 am
So I've found that eating MWL I tend to want to cheat (and have!) a lot more often then while on the regular program. We're talking 3 days of perfect eating then scarfing down a handful of cookies....then 3 days of perfect eating, then eating chocolate, etc. I'm still not quite sure why this is, maybe it has to do with more restrictions? Anyway I was going to MWL all month but I'm doing very poorly sticking with it compared to just doing the regular program (which I tend to do pretty well on, yet the weight loss is fairly slow if steady).
Anyone else have similar experiences? Or any advice? Should I keep trying the MWL? Should I just do the regular program and be happy with my very slow (yet consistant) weight loss? I'm really not sure what the big diference is for me except a lot less soy, less fruit, & no occasional bread products so maybe I'm just using "all the restrictions" as an excuse to cheat (myself) on the program? The only other reason that possibly comes to mind as to why I may be having these weird cravings is that I've been experiencing PMS symptoms for a lot longer than normal (99% sure I'm not pregnant, but I'm about a week late).
Anyway, input is appreciated, thanks!
