Thank you!!!
Just to share, thanks for PMing me Jaspermom, I have lost my weight by doing portion control and adding more veggies and fruits. I do not deny myself ANYTHING, ever. I have learned the hard way, that if I do deny myself I binge and feel like a slob after. It was a very nasty cycle.
So I have some and then put the fork down. It takes A LOT of discipline but I am learning to listen to my body and not my tastebuds for fullness. Also I take favorite foods like chips and get the better for you version. So like original Lay's I used to buy, now I buy the Lay's that come in the 'pringels' looking can. They are baked and not fried which is so much better but I still get my fix. (midwest we grew up with chips with every kind of sandwhich lol) I am learning to be more forgiving of myself too. No one eats perfect everyday... so when I go on the deep, deep end... I say to myself I will do better next meal or the next day. Plus you kind of get addicted to looking better and feeling better.
Oh another thing, when I get to work on Monday's I buy one liter bottle of Poland Spring water and I refill it all week. I try to have 2 liters per day. That works better for me than the smaller bottles where I have to run back and forth from the water filter and don't always have time or the presence of mine to do so. Hope this inspires someone else...
GOOD LUCK EVERYONE!!! KEEP IT UP!!!!
