just some thoughts
someone said dieting is the same as quitting smoking ...this is a lot harder than quiting smoking because you dont need ciggarettes but we do need food!!! i tell myself everyday that i am NOT on a diet but that i have changed my BAD eating habits. i have completely changed my way of eating and what i eat. i found out that i was eating out of habit instead of when i am trully hungry.(buzzer goes off at work...eat, hubby wants lunch...eat even tho i was not hungry yet.) now i am waiting till the tummy starts to growl and then i am eating healthy . instead of biscutes and gravy or eggs and bacon and hash browns i am eating yogert fruit and a cereal bar or bran cereal, skim milk, and banana. for lunch instead of buger and fries i have salad and cottage cheese or raw vegies ,yogert and lite turkey sandwitch. i really look at the labels at the store and am a lot more aware of what i am buying and eating. it is more expensive to eat healthy but i look at it this way ...i can afford 20 to 25 more dollars a week for food a whole lot easyer that having health problems.(doctor visits, meds, possably missing work, maybe even hospitalization) so it is really all in the mind and how we are going to look at this. you got to keep it up and this is not just for now it is for life!!!
good luck in keeping to plan
talk to you LIGHTER!!!
