DIET: ISN'T IT BORING SOMETIMES...?

               Yes it is and neither nutritionists nor doctors woul tell you that. I've complited my 3rd mounth of being on a diet and i admit that i had ups and downs. It's always good in the beginning, you are focused on your diet and detirmined. But as time goes by, you might miss somethings...For me it wasn't the deicious big meals, fast food or popcorn, it was cakes of all kind. I'm very fond of sweets as you can guess. When you're ona a diet, you get your reward by loosing weight of course. But there were times that i couldn't resist. Whenever we visit our relatives, friends or they visit us, someone always brings a cake. So there i was sitting infront of my devil. First i didn't except even a tiny bite, but when everybody left and i was alone with it...It started with i bite, a slice and another one until it's finished. The thing is i didn't feel guilty at all. I've lost 8 kg in total. It may have been more if i didn't have this kind of weaknesses once in a while, but i rather have this way. Because the thing i'm afraid of most is after i have my ideal weight, eaiting too much of the things i missed. So whenever i really miss something (the one above was definitely an extraordinary situation) i have a small piece of it. But before that i calculate the calorie and eat it instead of something. This means sometimes being hungry for hours  when you consider that just a little piece of cake has the same calorie with my dinner,but i survive. I don't do it often of course, maybe once in 14 days. My nutritionist doesn't know about it, i'm sure she wouldn't approve. But we are human right? We can't just program ourselves to eat specific things, although it would be great.

BEGINNING TO UNDERSTAND: WHAT IS GOOD FOR MY BODY

            

                 Years past and i gave and lost a couple of kgs but didn't have a big change. I was wearing large size (42) and eventhough i didn't feel myself beautiful i had excepted my body as it is. One of the biggest enemy of overweight women is of course fashion. A skinnny woman can wear anything she wants but i used to try everything and examine carefully if it made me look fat. After a while i got curious about the science of eating and excersise; how does it work, how does it effect our body... I thought to myself, if i can understand the system ,i can use it efficiently. So i've made many researchs and found very useful documentaries. Here are the  ones that i found and would strongly recomend you to watch (if you can):

           -The Truth About Food (BBC): This 6 episode documentary has basically changed my mind. Every episode is 1 hour long but you never get bored. The best thing about this documentary is they test everything and show you the resaults. It's science!
    
          -10 Things You Need To Know About Food (BBC): This is just one episode of 1 hour long journey. It is like a little summery of the one above but still has some different stories.

           -The Truth About Exercise (BBC): This is another gold mine for me, before you think "i should walk hours to burn calories", you might want to watch it.

          - Eat Fast And Live Longer (BBC): This one is about how fast food effects our  health and have some bad news for fast food lovers.

So after i've watched all these in a week, i've decided to use the knowlage. I'm not expecting you to go find all these documentaries and watch so i'll tell you what i've learned and did.
