I think I was put on a "diet" as a toddler - has taken MANY, MANY years to forget about all the diet brainwashing I had and learn to listen to my body and what it needs (note: not what it WANTS, what it NEEDS).
Looking foward to the month ahead.
That's right,you got it.It took me 52 yrs to get it through my head that the only way to lose is not dieting,but change our eating and what goes in our mouths.And now even tho it took 4 yrs,I figure it is going to be for the rest of my life.So is a life style change.93 pounds is off and going for more.I am not giving up.Even if I only do 1 pound,I'll take it.I did only 3 last month,but that's 3 less.So,I'm happy.Keep going and never give up and keep going no matter what.If you mess up,get back on.I messed up too a lot but kept going.Almost 100 pounds off.I can't believe it.I feel so much better and can tie my shoes and wear jeans again.That is a big deal for me as I couldn't before.I was so fat I couldn't bend over,and afraid if I did I would fall.So,good for you.You can do it,if I can.Besides,I love the dinners,I can have what I want and it only takes a few minutes and gives more time for other fun stuff like quilting or scooter riding.It's a no brainer for me.
