"What diet?"

Diet Temptation, Strike Three

Week one of the diet plan, we can leap tall eclairs with a single bound.  Week two of the diet plan, we can still jump over the candy stick.  Week three of the diet plan, we become weak.

Although we enjoy bathing in our unleashed pool of Diet Desire, once we recover and re-enter the Land of Reality where our current clothing fits tightly and our weight scales weigh heavily, we often regret surrendering to temptation rather than surrendering to thin.

'It' happens to the best of us - even to those dieters who possess nerves of Diet Steel and have a giant 'S' for success stamped upon their puffed up chests.  And yes, it even happens to Guy Dieters.

So what's a body to do when Diet Temptation strikes?  Here are a few roses to help get you past those prickly thorns:

Don't spend time wallowing in the powdered sugar remains of that token donut that led you across the boundaries of Plump & Thin.  Dry up those tears, those regrets and get right back on that Diet Steed NOW!  Waiting only prolongs the diet agony of defeat.

The fact that you succumbed to a binge overload might indeed be a GOOD thing.  Good thing, you say?  What - are you nuts?

YES, a very GOOD thing BECAUSE now you have physically identified one of your diet weaknesses and you can now devise an iron-clad plan to keep this diet temptress goody at bay.

We all learn from our mistakes, and this is particularly true while dieting.  But often times, we fail to take note of what we have learned along our Diet Journey and we keep repeating the same mistakes over and over and over again - like a ruptured melody.

So take Diet Notes and yearn to learn.  You'll soon become an expert in the art of dieting and weight loss and when put into action, the rewards come in the form of weight loss itself.

Keep a bin of fresh fruits on hand that will quell appetite and desire.

Be cautious and attentive to your tummy.  Allowing a tummy in Diet Mode to run on empty is a Recipe for Diet Disaster.

It's a good idea to indulge in those favorite foods while holding the reins in your hands.  Allot calories so that they fit comfortably into your diet plan.

Most of those favorite foods come in the form of high calories. Example: We can enjoy one donut OR four cups of fresh strawberries.

Foods that are often considered taboo while dieting, such as cheeseburgers and pizza, aren't always as deadly as they appear.

Both pizza and cheeseburgers contain a good many of the recommended food groups - such as dairy, protein and grain.

We can make a healthier burger or pizza in our own quaint kitchens. And on that Foodnote, we've got a pizza recipe that tastes fantastic, contains minimal fat and is calorie friendly.

Now That'sa Pizza Pie!
