I've been doing some reading on past posts. I am lucky in the fact that i'm not real fond of salt and seasonings. My problem is butter. I put butter in everything. So if I were to cook broccoli..do i just add nothing or can I add low fat butter and if so how much? And if I bake chicken I do like to use lemon pepper seasoning. Is that ok to use or bad?
I also forgot to mention I will be 35 this month and I do smoke. I smoke outside because i do have kids and pets..and that has helped me cut down but i still smoke. My biggest problem I forsee is I hate water and love mt. dew. That will be my biggest challenge. I know I can't go cold turkey so I"m going to have to cut down each day. So tonight I"m going to not drink anymore pop and drink a glass of water and tomorrow I will limit myself to one in the morning one in the afternoon and one in the evening. I'll be cutting out my nightly one..and I"ll cut down from there. I have to set daily goals to do this. I hope thats ok.
oh and is their a time ishould quit eating. I am one of those that eats a little all day long..I don't eat alot at once. I think my biggest prob with my weight is what I drink..my biggest prob with health is waht i eat and drink..
