Subject: rules

I talked about this a little on the flocers board, but our level of self satisfaction stems from how closely we follow the "rules" we have set for ourselves. The trick is to not make those rules so hard that there is no way we can meet them. When we don't meet them we become discouraged with ourselves, and want to give up.

Allowing ourselves the rewards (feeling good) of our efforts makes our choices easier to stick to.

So for me my rules for today: Stick to 20 to 50 carbs total for the day (would like to get back in ketosis, so 20 would be better), drink four glasses of water (32 oz) at least, take vitamins, and go up and down the stairs at least 4 times today, plus eat breakfast (and try to keep metabolism reved throughout the day by eating enough).

If I accomplish those thing I will feel I had a successful dieting day.

I like this thread. It's true that if our rules are too strict we feel that we are bound to fail and may not try as hard. Mine for today are to stick to induction, drink 3/4 gallon water (almost there) and clean the kitchen. Cleaning the kitchen isn't the greatest activity, but it's better than sitting on the couch, LOL (NT) -- Katie, 13:28:05 05/28/02 Tue
