Xylie, you truly are an inspiration! Maybe it is a good thing that it has taken you 4 years to lose the weight. All of your bad habits are gone and you have a totally different eating style than before you started.
I can lose the weight. I have done it a few times. It takes 2-3 months to lose the 20 or so pounds. It stays off for a while but eventually it's back. Last summer I joined Physicians Weight Loss Center. It was very expensive but it does work if you stick with it. But I HATED that diet. It certainly is not something you can do for the rest of your life. Although, my husband is still sticking with it and has kept off the 40 lbs he lost.
I like the frozen meals for portion control. There are a couple of Lean Cuisine meals that I love. I should probably try some other brands too. Maybe try whatever is on sale each week. It's difficult when my husband wants a real meal for dinner after eating bars and shakes all day and now my son is home after 2 years in Korea and he wants to eat all the food and treats he has missed.
I am creeping too close to the 200 lb mark. A friend just tagged me in a picture on Facebook. It was my backside. I knew my belly has grown but did not realize how large my rear end had become. Definitely time to take care of this!
