the eating thing

It's so weird with the whole eating and dieting thing.... sometimes for weeks straight I can be so "on it" - eating healthy, eating right, not over-eating, and in general staying on track,,,,,and then BAM, off the wagon I go and all "eating hell" breaks loose for no apparent reason.  I know I feel better when I eat better, so WHY do I sabotage myself and head into the deep abyss of carbolicious-ness and sweets and desserts and eating anything that is not nailed down at any time of day???  It's not even related to exercising which I do even during the bad eating times... it's just a general wave of 'ugly' in the eating department and I wish I could get to the bottom of it and somehow find a better balance.  I know that awareness of the problem is the road to a solution and I feel like I've gotten more consistent over the past couple of years, but "old habits die hard" I guess.  (inside joke for anyone who was with me on the last shoot.... yikes)  I've read plenty of self-help dieting books which give you the "top ten secrets of thin people" and "how to keep your resolutions" etc, and the knowledge and learning is right there IN MY BRAIN, but why can't I live it day to day all the time?  I suppose if I actually knew the answer to this, I would be relatively famous or a little bit wealthy if I found a lucrative way of imparting this knowledge to others.... but for now, I will just have to keep plugging away and start fresh tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow.  As a side note, I've decided that because I love music, all my posts will have a song attached.... it might relate to the subject, or it might just be a song I want to share to make your day better because music always does that for me.... signing off with something a little bit inspirational:  Sister Hazel - "Change Your Mind"
