Mind Over

Dec 6th, 2007 Posted in healthy eating, introspection | no comment »

Yup. It’s all about mind over matter.

This whole Sacred Heart Diet thing, it’s all about mental discipline. Physically, you can get by with a lot less food (both quantity and variety) than you think. But mentally. That’s a different story.

Have you ever noticed how much food advertising there is on TV in the evenings? I almost went over the edge when I saw an ad for this:

Uncle Ben’s Rice Side Dish

Does that seem as strange to you as it does to me? I’m dreaming about apples, rice and sauces. Not chips, or chocolate or cookies. Rice. Yow.

Anyway…here I am, ignoring said craving, waiting for Saturday when, in fact, all I can eat is brown rice and vegetables. I’ll let you know how great I’m feeling about rice around 5pm on Saturday!
