That has been my diet. No white flour. No white sugar. No white rice. No white potatoes. The only white things I have been eating are cauliflower, dairy and fish/chicken. That and portion control has had a significant effect on my body. In one month I have gone from a size 36 to a 34. My energy is up. I feel better.
However, I realize that I have a real relationship with food. Giving up all the food that I love and the ability to eat what I want when I want is like being in mourning for a lost relationship. I feel like I have been ditched at the alter. No wonder keeping my body in shape has been a life long struggle. I have been in this relationship with food for a loooong time! Over the past several years, I have been making lots of relationship changes, and I realized that this relationship had to be the next one to change.
This is not to stay that we won't try to get together again in the future -- that I won't have a lonely night without a creamsicle and want to reunite, but I am trying hard to maintain the same philosphy I have with other relationships I had to end. I ended it for a reason. Even if I miss it, and forget why we broke up...we broke up for a reason.

I give myself Sunday "diet day off" so that I don't miss, and can look forward to things that I don't eat in a quest for health. Usually when Sunday comes I feel so good about myself, the craving has passed, but if not...I go for it and enjoy! It's worked for me.
