I have some hope about my overeating because i am trying something new. My doctor wants me to make only one or two small manageable realistic changes and only add more when i have succeeded. The goal is to eventually be eating according to The Canada Food Guide which has always struck me as sensible.

So i started three days ago with the two changes of having a maximum of three Coke Zeros a day and one apple. I've stuck to it except for not having an apple today because of a stomach ache. If i can keep it up for a week i will add more.

I feel some hope about this plan because it's not an abrupt overhaul of my entire way of eating as i have always done in the past with restrictive diets. I actually find myself eager to make more changes and having to resist.

Anyhoo, that's the new thing i am trying out and i feel some hope that it will work. At least it's not the same old thing (dieting) that i've tried 100 times before and failed at. Onward!
