Steps 2760
Steps 2760
People
have a natural tendency to want to fill space!
If
they see a blank page, they want to write or draw or paste something
there.
If
they have an empty room or garage, they will fill it, usually with
junk they don't need. Then spend the ensuing years complaining about
too much stuff and at the same time, finding excuses why they need to
hang onto every bit of it. Even as they add something else to the
pile.
If
you think about it, even shelving is more junk, but with that lame
excuse that it will help organize the stuff you already have and
don't need.
FOOD
So
why should it be any different at the dinner table.
You
have sitting in front of you and empty plate the size of a hub, plus
a salad plate, and maybe even a fruit bowl. Just like the closet, you
can't add another thing to, you fill every container with as much as
it will hold. Then you down everything in record time, so you
can fill the hubcap again. This time with the food you like best.
Usually the most fattening things on the table. Then, just like
looking into that spare bedroom, that you can hardly open the door
to, you let out a loud moan, hold your stomach and complain that you
just can't eat another thing without exploding.
Smaller
is Better
So
here's the plan.
Start
by leaving the dinner plates on the shelf, and using those salad or
sandwich plates that have been collecting dust all these years.
Even
if you pile them full, you won't get as much as the old hubcap.
This
will be just another reminder.
That
after all is one of the underlying principles of the my Diet 1. Unlike other
diets that focus on calorie counting, special foods, famous people,
and gimmicks. The gimmick of my Diet 1 is simple, a constant reminder
to slowly cut down the amount of junk you are stuffing in the closet, your body.
The
good news is this closet, unlike the one down the hall, will slowly
get smaller and smaller as time goes by.
An
added side effect to all this is a shift in your attitude about other
things in your life. As you find yourself shoving less and less into
your mouth and that bulge in your waste slowly shrinks, you may find
that all those places around your house, stuffed full of things you
don't use or need slowly start to empty as the fat in your life
slowly slips away.
