How long would you guys say it would take to lose 30-35 pounds? I am an ex bulimic, this is a very recent thing to end in my life and I was bulimic for 5 years. I am also a singer, so I'm dedicated to finally losing this weight, and not my voice. Any tips would greatly help!!
Also... tomorrow I am going to eat. I will order a chicken salad with a basil vinaigrette, but I was wondering if having a piece of bread this once would truly mess me up.
Thanks and nice to "meet" you all
Welcome. Yes the bread will definately mess you up, the ritz may have as well. It will definately set you back. You need to read the thread on cheating. If you get that hungry, you need to snack on some dill pickles, or get some herbal tea and drink that. Bread, potates, crackers, noodles are all NO NO's, and eating one just this once is not a good thing. You have to keep you mind set that this is not forever, it will be there next year. Ask youself, is it really worth eating this piece if bread if I am going to set myself back another week? I personally don't feel that it is. I have only been on this for 8 weeks and it has been hard, got alot easier after the 2nd week. I started a week before Thanksgiving and I NEVER thought that I would make it this far, but I have. I survived the two worst Holidays for food. I had friends who tired to get me eat something and start again the first of the year. But I couldn't do it. My mind is made up that I will be a certain weight by May or close to it and nothing, not even a piece of bread will take that away from me. Always keep a Protein Bar with you in case you are not able to make a shake, or get some ready made shakes and just grab one out of the fridge. You can do this!!!!
