Raindancer- You rock!! I can't help but giggle to see that. I do that too! I am having a hard time keeping to one particular thing. We are going through a financially rough time, (everyone goes through this at one point or another. There are times of bounty, and times of no bounty. No biggie) so I'll go out and buy all low carb food, but when that runs out there is low fat food left in the house, so I'll have to switch to that. I just had some bread with cream cheese, I'm sure that was around 350 calories, and some ff hot cocoa. That's 50 calories. I want to NOT gain weight. But the food in our house doesn't currently support a completely low fat, or a low carb "diet". So I am just going to really watch my calorie intake, and not go above 1400 calories. I am noticing that if I am going to have any breads, I have to have a higher fat/protien food with it, so I'm not hungry 30 min. later.
Raindancer, we've got to do this!! I know what you mean about the clothes. Right now it isn't so much about the style as it is, the GETTING into it! We can be hot at any size, but still..... I say that you should have the foods you enjoy, but cut the portions of the naughty foods way back. For every half cup of naughty food, eat 1-2 cups of greens (low carb veggies, not the carrots mixed in stuff.. but GREENS, and GREENS only)BEFORE you eat the naughty food. That way you get full, and satisfied on what you need to have, and don't feel deprived either.
This time of year is HARD!!! The weather is colder, its gloomier outside, and chocolate is calllllling our names! (or breads, fatty carb, all naughty comfort foods known to man/woman)
We should VOW to eat greens always, before naughty foods!
WE WILL DO THIS! Thanks for your support!!
:hugs:
