I need to stop eating curly fries and eat reasonable portions of healthy foods. I know these things. It's not rocket science. But I also know how exciting it is to start a new diet. It's like the first day of school again.
Life is full of promise.
The teacher tells you exactly what to do to succeed. You don't have to make any decisions for yourself. All the work is taken out of it. But that is also why these diet plans don't work. When we don't have to make decisions about what we eat, and we don't have to work at developing new habits, we invariably fall back into old bad habits.
