going to have to try harder

  • I gues that I am going to have to try harder, at dieting, i HAVE put on 6 lbs
    this past weekend.

    Went shopping with some girlfriends today and the 2x top was a little tight,
    wonder if there is a fat farm that I could go to in ohio for a while.

    ate at bob evans and had wildfire chicken salad lunch size, don't even want to know the calories, and a glass of water.

    I need help.

  • Sorry you're struggling and I understand as I've been there SO many times! All I can say is keep trying, never give up! Watch your portion sizes and read labels. At restuarants, measure out a serving of starchy carb, meat and then if possible fill the rest of the plate with veggies. I do the same thing at buffets. If I really want the dessert, I eat less starchy carb. Being both overweight and diabetic, I have to compromise esp when eating out. At home it's easier.

    And do keep that in mind..overtime I find it gets easier. You learn what not to eat or to eat less of. Watch for the emotional triggers..boy they can sabatoge your diet, guess how I know!!

    Tracking my eating helps me...I use the Calorie King software and it's very helpful. There is also a little program called Weight Commander...I use it too cause I like seeing the graph with my weight going down (or up!). It warns me too when I need to be esp careful.

    But mostly DON'T GIVE UP...you can do this!!
  • You and me both, Chickie . . . you and me both.
  • keep trying, ladybug! you just need to find what works for you!
