This process is so funny! It seems every day I do lots of good things (and need to give myself credit for that!) and then a bad meal comes along or an irrisistible goodie. Perhaps the key is having as many days as possible that are as good as possible. Does that make sense? Because life doesn't stop when you're cutting calories! I do feel like my clothes are a little looser. And I seem to be getting full on less food! I checked out the pyramid and it seemed like not very much food at all. But then I realized, oh, this is what someone my age and height is SUPPOSED to eat in a day. Light bulb! Did you start off immediately following those guidelines? It seems hunger would be out of control at the beginning on that, so did you add in some veggies or nuts for a snack in between meals?
I'm reading a book about changing our patterns to make dieting more successful. One thing I do that can lead to downfalls is, as you know, I love to get a tea or diet coke through a drive through. Well, there's 2 places I do this, where I occasionally add in calories I don't need. Chick Fil A has these incredible little chicken breakfast biscuits, but I'm sure they're not good for me! And sometimes at McD's, Anne Marie asks for hashbrowns, and I get an Egg McMuffin. So I have decided, for now, to avoid those two places when I get my caffeine fix. Best plan is to have tea at my house, but in case I'm on the go, I think it's wise to break those habits. Do you have some things like that which provide hidden calories? I'm trying to evaluate and find some more!
Hope you're having more success this week! Love you! By the way, she's curvy too! Maybe we'll find a sequin suit like that for our "after" pictures, haha!
