I used to shut her up with anything loaded with sugar or carbs. I have decided to take control of my life and of my food.
I tried weight watchers before, loved it, lost about 25 lbs, thought I could do it without going to meetings and here I am, about 40 lbs heavier than when I began there. I know i need a combo of exercise and portion control, so I've joined a gym and here I am
I'm not doing weight watchers again due to finances, but I understood the ideas of a balanced meal (it was definitely the portion controlling that was the problem, and yes I will admit that I made alot of poor food choices).
This time I am starting on the slim-fast plan until I need a change and then I guess I'm up for anything new. The idea is to lose at a reasonable rate so I can keep it off, and hopefully become healthy because I know I'm far from that right now.
I am 27, a mother of an 8-yr old who is aware of my diet and likes to ask me at almost every meal, "How many points is that?"
or my favorite question, "Do you want to share your snack with me, so it's not as many points for you?"
Any suggestions or comments? I'm open to it all. I figured I need more support than just my son (although bless his little heart, he tries).
There is a skinny me trying to get out...
