But I think the thing with diets (for what the worth of an opinion of someone who has never really been on one - or at least on a diet which purports to lose weight) is that they're hard for anyone to maintain and that there are many setbacks and also that there is no one way to diet that is one hundred percent successful.
Very true. The basics is eat really well (depending on the specifics of what your body needs) and exercise. In practice, that can be a bitch to do consistently.
I keep track of every fucking bite of food I eat and have been since I was old enough to keep track of my diabetes by myself and sometimes I still mess the fuck up. So it's not like, if you decide to keep track of everything, that you'd be alone or freakish in doing so. I think... that once you get in the habit of doing something, that perhaps it is easier? But I don't want to make assumptions about diets or your dieting or your feelings either.
At this point, I've tracked my food for long enough that in the regular course of things it's not that big of a deal... it can just get really frustrating when I'm trying very hard to lose weigh and it's just not happening, and I reputable sources telling me that what I'm doing is wrong, without actually giving me a different path to follow.
