The Venting Pit Can we say pit viper? Sometimes it feels that way - like you want to strike out and complain about your diet but there is no one around who will: a) listen b) understand c) support your feelings d) comfort you e) agree with you Opposition is hovering at every corner and you feel....well, cornered. Whether no one listens or not, it is very important and vital to your diet to 'vent at will' (NO! Not your brother, Will!) Seriously, venting releases stress and helps voice your concerns. This is an important key to look for while you are venting:
This will help you define the problems and find solutions. You may be upset because you feel as if you aren't eating enough, and that your diet is too restrictive. You may feel continually hungry. By focusing on your problem, you will be able to find a solution that will either make your diet more effective, or doable. For example, an answer to the above 'venting problem' would be to examine your diet closely and add foods that are high in taste and low in calorie content (such as cantaloupe/cabbage/large salads with light dressing/tasty soups/etc.). If you aren't able to listen to yourself and define the problem, you risk tossing your diet into The Venting Pit and you sure don't want to do that!!! Not after all your hard work.! |
