Hi to all
Hi, I'm Julie and I'm new.
What's funny about my weight gain is that I tend to eat the right things. I love vegetables and don't have much of a sweet tooth. But I was still eating too much for too long.
Now that I've started tracking everything I eat, I recognize how dumb I was being, and the weight is coming off. By tracking, I'm changing how I look at food, seeing it more as a list of requirements than a morale booster, if that makes sense.
I started on 10/11 and have lost 6 pounds. I'm pleased with that rate since I feel like I'm making small but sustainable changes. I have cravings every once in a while and if they last longer than a day, I go ahead and have whatever it was I was craving. And then the craving is gone and I can move ahead. That makes me feel very in control, not like I'm punishing myself or depriving myself.
And that's pretty much all I have to say yet!
