When I first got married, a few friends warned me I could gain a lot of weight the first year because I would be cooking meals daily. And my new husband might want some very unhealthy foods I never eat.
So I was careful to buy just healthy foods.
When you do grocery shopping, do not buy snacks, ice cream, sodas and processed foods.
Before you step into the grocery line, go through your cart and remove anything that is too high in calories.
If your husband wants ice cream, fast foods, and sodas, let him pick them up for himself.
Don't get carried away by someone else's poor food choices. Refuse to add junk to your diet. Don't let anyone dictate your diet. Keep counting your calories daily. You'll be O.K.
Feeling the "Newlywed Spread" already. :-P
so what's your game plan? We have very similar weight loss goals. I'm tired of diets that limit any food group... they're too hard and I always gain the weight back. I am just going to be sensible this time and limit my calorie intake along with eliminating refined sugar, and eating only whole grain carbs from now on. And I'll be doing some Jillian Michaels dvds, they're the only ones that don't bore me to death. I also appreciate the fact that she doesn't smile the whole workout, for some reason I find that extremely annoying (i.e. Denise Austin)
