Pat Pat Pat!!!!!!!!!! My goodness me, girl, what INCREDIBLE information you have given all of our members!!
People, if you listen to Pat, and just take even a FEW of her suggestions to heart, you will change your eating habits for a lifetime! And if you have the courage to follow everything she says, you will feel better, have more energy, and probably live a longer, healthier life.
I know it looks like a LOT of information, so digest it (yeah, I really said that!) slowly and in increments if you have to. The thread is here and hopefully will be here for you to come back and review anytime.
PLEASE don't look at this as "OH TOO MUCH, I cannot do all that", throw your hands up and forget about it! Like a few of us have said, change SLOWLY! Do this in small increments. Change one or two things every meal (OH MY GOODNESS I LOVE THAT IDEA), and as you get comfortable with that, move onward down the healthy eating path!
My husband just pointed out that once you start doing these things for a while, it just becomes second nature like any other good habit you have!
Oh I am SOOOOOO excited for the weigh in on SUNDAY!!
