Mindfulness diet

I started a diet three days ago. So far so good. I think I’m in the mood, but we’ll see. No use reporting a diet earlier than that since you never know if it’s going to work. The general idea of the diet is to be mindful about what I'm eating. The aspects of the diet are

  • Never eat anything unless you’re giving 100% of your attention to the act of eating. Eating at a table with others is allowable but no casually stuffing food in you mouth while your doing something else.
  • Think ahead. Think about what your going to eat for a little bit in advance. Don’t be impulsive. Anticipate situations which could occur that could throw you off your diet.
  • Eliminate worthless carbs. In general, try to reduce carbs.
  • No alcohol.
  • Exercise (running and weight training). This is the easy part.

My goal comes in stages (I don’t want to look to far ahead).
  1. Feel comfortable in the clothes I’m wearing now.
  2. Lose 2 inches off my waste.
  3. Lose 6 inches off my waste.
  4. Stabilize at new weight.
