ha! it isn't that special...just a lot of hard work.
really though, my biggest issue was portions. we, as a family, rarely ate unhealthy foods. i don't eat much different now (except my splurges are much smaller) than i did when i weighed 80 lbs. more. i just eat a lot less now...and more frequently. i'm really in tune with my body's cues telling me to stop eating now. i don't have that "last meal" mentality anymore. i eat slowly, and when my body gives me that first fullness cue, i put my fork down and stop. it won't be my last meal, and i don't need to clean my plate. i eat like a real person, no crash diets or crazy sub-500 calorie diets for me. my other big change was exercise. i exercise a lot. i love being in the gym. when i first started exercising, it was such a chore and i hated it but i made up my mind that, if up to me (meaning no illess or something), that i would be in the gym no less than 5 days per week. i started small, with 30 minutes per day of walking. now, i have a big arsenal of available workouts - different running routes, intervals, sprints, speed work, distance work, cycling, strength training. a big motivator to me, though, is the classes that my gym offers. i wouldn't be a member of a gym without classes anymore. they are too important to me. but in the end, it took time, motivation and determination. this forum played no small part in motivating me on days when i didn't want to go to the gym and i just wanted to eat crap all day. when i was stuck at a certain weight or when i gained for no apparent reason, ya'll were here to pick my spirits back up. |
I hear you on the portion size. We also have always eaten healthy foods, but I've just been eating too much of them. And for me there were always the potato chips, I could eat a whole bag of them. Now I sub in roasted chick peas and sometimes pork rinds (don't tell). Sorry for hijacking this thread!
|
ugh, i loved potato chips too. if you have a mandoline (or just a steady hand), cut some sweet potatoes, roast them until crispy and toss with a bit of salt. not the same, but still really good. i love the roasted chickpeas and roasted kale chips as well.

NO MORE CARBY BINGES! There. I posted it so I have to stick to it. Phase 2 (for now, might decide to go Phase 1 if I need to) - 2 fruits, only 1 grain B - Scrambled egg with veggie sausage and tiny tomatoes. Coffee with nonfat milk. L - Spicy Thai veggie soup with a dollop of plain Greek yogurt (mixing cultures here, but it's yummy). Green tea with ginger. S - cottage cheese with blueberries S2- half an apple with 1T peanut butter D - homemade eggplant parmesan, steamed broccoli, huge caesar salad with homemade dressing. ONE small glass red wine. dessert - sugar free puddin' (not a whole food or anything but it's in the fridge). P+ value, derived from FitDay total (don't know if it is accurate to do it this way...) 32. Too high unless I am including weekly points. I think it was the glass of wine that put me over... 1344 calories, 22 g fiber (low for me), 38% carbs/36% fat/26% protein. 106 g carbs (not counting, but I like to stay as close to 100g as possible) |

|
Today started off on-plan but has quickly derailed. Tomorrow will be a new day.

I wandered off to a place of really bad habits. Like once I am slightly bad, I launch into self-punishingly bad. I have no idea why. Disturbing.

So, beginning of a 4-day weekend for my family. Big ice storm heading our way and Louisiana shuts down when the weather service even speaks of ice. My husband's school didn't close (of course not!), but his drive consists of a 60-mile commute (half of which is over a bridge that is treacherous even without ice!)..soooo, long story short, he's staying home. yay!
Oh, ETA, last night I was watching a movie with DH at probably 10 pm. I felt myself getting SUPER snacky and even told DH how noshy I was.
