"Starting a diet tomorrow is the classic accompaniment of over-
eating today; however, the converse of this proposition may hold
as well: Commitment to dieting tomorrow may contribute to
overindulgence today. Lowe (1982) has proposed that the antici-
pation of future deprivation usually starting tomorrowis one
of the factors prompting restrained eaters to overeat after a pre-
load. It makes sensewithin the always questionable logic of the
dieterto take advantage of an opportunity to load up on exces-
sive quantities of forbidden foods because these foods may not be
allowed certainly not in any quantityafter the diet resumes the
next day. Thus, the dieter may reason that it is appropriate to feast
now in anticipation of the impending famine."
Well isn't that the damn truth for the last ten fatass years of my life???????????????????? There really isn't any lamer and less sincere excuse than a dieter's "tomorrow".
