As for a plan .. I have been ATTEMPTING to follow the plan that has been most effective for me. It is a naturopathic diet .. it is simliar to a low carb plan I guess .. it is very restrictive .... no pasta, no rice, no potatoes .... I am allowed to eat 4 pieces of Weight Watchers/Hollywood Bread a day. Only fruits allowed are apples, peaches, strawberries and cantaloupe.

Very restrictive .. has worked for me before .... so I'm trying again! :P

Hi,
I can totally relate to you. I do the exact same thing. I pack my lunch with measured out portions and everything. I snack on healthy stuff all day. Then as soon as I hit that door sometimes before if I hit the drive through Im eating all the way until dinner is done. Im not talking carrots or celery sticks. It is nothing for me to polish off the weirdest combos and before I know it Im full. Ex: the other day it went like this:
Breakfast: whole grain cereal/w skim milk
Snacks: tomatoes
celery sticks/w peanut butter
banana
Lunch: vegetable soup
yogurt

Dinner: chicken breast/brocolli and salad

Time before dinner was done: Why do I even write this stuff down.

donought
mixed nuts
breadsticks with butter
potato chips with dip


Okay do you see a pattern here. I cant break this cycle no matter how I try. I just eat to eat. I spread out my meals and snacks usually like 2 or 3 hours apart. And boy do I watch that clock. I need to learn to eat to live, not live to eat.

If we stick around here we will be okay

Terri,

First of all, don't even bring junk into your house. From looking at your plan, it doesn't appear that you are eating enough protein which help fills you up. If you are eating every 2-3 hours and hungry at the time of your next snack/meal, then maybe you aren't eating enough in general. Perhaps add extra veggies and add some protein at every snack.

Also, I'd look for extra sugars in the things you are eating which can actually make you hungry as well. The whole grain cereal as well as the peanut butter could have sugar added to it. I am a pretty severe label reader and you'd be amazed how much things are added to our foods that aren't needed.

Also, not sure what type of yogurt you are eating but the best yogurt I've ever had is a sugar free/non fat yogurt, yoplait with the blue lids. They have real fruit in their fruit yogurts which I like. Although I'll admit the only yogurt I eat is nonfat plain, quite boring For breakfast this morning, I ate some low fat cottage cheese, mixed with some nonfat plain yogurt and splenda.

Default It's Time ...

Well I went to a BABY SHOWER yesterday for my cousins wife. And she was sooo cute, with her little round belly sticking out from her tiny little frame ... and I realized, when I'm pregnant, I WANT people to know I'm pregnant! Right now, I don't think you woul be able to tell .... just another little motivator for me to lose this darn weight!
