I called her...she's was very nice. First I told here that I do not want her to think that I do not want to follow the rules...because I really do want to!
She asked me what I was eating. I told her what I ate yesterday. She said that it sounds like I'm definately on the right track. She also told me to continue to eat like I am...trying to fit it in...if I can't...then I can't...just to do my best. No between meal snacks. So basically she wants me to eat (3) meals that will add up to 1500 calories per day.
I really think this is happening because I have to eat three meals a day...I'm not mindlessly eating...and basically I have never eaten this many breads and starches ever!! Well, at least now the healthy types! I don't have a hard time with the veggies, protien, and the fruits but when you factor in at least 64 oz. of water with all of the food...it's just bloat, bloat. bloat!! I'm glad that she's willing to work with me on this.
Before I started this journey I ate all day long. I skipped breakfast, ate lunch, had a large dinner and then would have some sort of snack after dinner. I am sure that what I chose to eat then added up to 1500 calories a day easily. Things like ice cream, chips and dip, and snack crackers. Now that I have to eat healthy type foods I'm seeing that they have more "staying power" and don't find myself wanting to eat larger portions. I'm learing....I'm really learining!!!
I'll continue to follow all of the other rules. The "No Soda" thing is getting easier and easier. I am/was a diet Mtn. Dew addict. I do miss them but I know that I have to learn that I can not have them. It's better to learn that now...instead of later!!
Thanks for the posts and the advice. I do appreciate you guys!!
