How can I get myself to do the health diet I am supposed to do?
I’ve always had problems with food. It’s not really that I eat too much, just that I eat the wrong things (junky things).
I have PCOS, and to stop having painful ovarian cysts, I am supposed to go wheat-free, dairy-free, low-carb, and eat lots of vegetables. Of course, all of the things that I crave the most are the things I have to quit eating (like pizza, cheese sandwiches, jalapeño Krunchers potato chips, etc).
Even though I had bad pain for about a day and a half this month, I can’t seem to make myself start doing the right things. Does anyone have any tips regarding self-hypnosis or visualization or other techniques to help me get past my junk food addictions and do the things I am supposed to do?
I had this listed before under health, but only got one response. I’m really looking for mental techniques to help me, so maybe this is the right place. I don’t really believe in super-strict diets like this, but I’m told that this is what I need to do to prevent painful cysts
Do it gradually – that’s the key. Don’t stop eating your favorite things abruptly. Instead, introduce healthy stuff step by step, starting with tiny amounts.
