better to restrict than eat....

i have this irrational thought that i KNOW is irrational....but i feel like it'd be better to restrict than to eat....i think it'd be so much easier.....i wouldn't hafta worry about food or anything......it'd be good because i'd eat smaller meals, so while i'd still be eating, i wouldn't be eating as much and i'd be able to lose weight too.....so i wouldn't be restricting....i'd just be eating less...i eat too much anyway.....it makes total sense....well no it doesn't.....see i know all of these thoughts are irrational.....but i try ot fight it with logic.....and when i tell m therapist these thoughts she asks me questions that make me stop and think and then i try and fight it with my logic....i usually end up losing....
