Now have you noticed that sometimes just a BITE is all you need to be satisfied with something? I noticed that this morning when I was making my lunch for work, then thinking I should have some breakfast... ( old habits ) so I took ONE BITE of some bacon I cooked up and that was it. I was fine. It was GOOD, and I was done. I added the rest of the bacon to my turkey club sandwhich I made for lunch and I am still satisfied!... ![]() So awesome to hear Shari!!.. I love that so many are embracing the fact that we really CAN trust ourselves.. we KNOW what to do.. that was never the problem. So happy for US!... ![]()

An interesting observation during lunch today. I will only eat something if it tastes good...
I remember so many times in the past where I forced myself to eat something that I was SUPPOSED TO. I would choke that down, then still not satisfied, move on nibbling here and there still trying to fill that VOID.When what I should have done in the first place was have what I really wanted. In a small portion, and be satisfied and done with it. Instead, after all this playing around I ate many more calories that I would have in the first place... So for lunch I had part of my turkey club which was really good, then I had a sliver of cheesecake with fresh raspberries. That was it. I was SATISFIED. I don't know my cals, but they could not be more than 350 in all. If I had done what I used to do, I would eat my whole sandwhich, feel bad that I had bread, really want some cheesecake, but NO, can't eat that, it is too fattening, and so I commence to eating everything else I brought to work.. ![]() AFTER ALL THAT... I would feel horrible and then go eat a BIG PC OF CHEESECAKE... this is life folks.. and this is what we have to stop... I feel so good today... so in control... wow.. ![]() ![]() ![]() |

![]() Well if you have not noticed I am NO LONGER DIETING!! I am retired!!.. I am eating to satisfaction and then stopping... I am weight training with some cardio for fun.. I am getting smaller....![]() ![]() I gave up diets because they don't work in the long run for me any longer. I am BURNT OUT!!!!!! So from now on I am going to be following basically low carb eating, with some exceptions thrown in for when I REALLY REALLY WANT IT... not an every day thing. So far I am in HEAVEN.. I love this.. It is definately a work in progress and it is something to think about each day, but no more beating myself up for CHEATING.. there is none.. and no more feeling bad for eating something off plan... there is none.... ![]() I will just say that I feel such freedom and i am not pigging out like I thought I would, because nothing is off limits and I can have a bite if I really want to. I am allowing myself to taste and stop when that curiosity comes about.. No more missing activities and parties because it might ruin my DIET... ![]() So thats me, WHAT ABOUT YOU?... no, sorry I don't watch those shows but I might... ![]() Quote:

Just keep working out and the eating will work itself out when it gets to that time.. enjoy vacation for sure!!.. As for the shows, I have heard nothing but good things about them, but aren't they on Showtime or something? We don't get that........ ![]() If they are on another channel, do TELL and I will be looking for them. I know my MAN Adam Lambert LOVES LOVES LOVES, Trueblood, so there is another endorsement!.. ![]() |

Right now, and as long as I am happy and satisfied, this is my life!. I don't have to do any diets anymore, because I know them all by HEART.. I can CHOOSE to eat less one day, eat only meat, eat fish and spinach, eat eggs all day, because I CHOOSE to... not because I must follow a diet.For all of us though, we have to choose our own path and I am gonna be cheering on all of you!! no matter WHAT you do!.. I am a cheerleader!!.. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |

I am getting smaller too. The last time I weighed, I was at 196.6, I promise you, I feel smaller than that weight now. I'm curious where I stand in weight, but I won't find out anytime soon. LOL.

Hey Deb! And it looks like the friends are back!
![]() Deb, you'll be amazed at how quickly you'l be able to build muscle and burn fat during your "honeymoon period" with weights. For some reason, newbies are able to do both, but after awhile, you'll only be able to do one or the other. That's not to say that you won't be able to get stronger, because you will, but your muscles won't actually be able to get bigger unless you're eating above maintenance calories. Luckily, most of us don't actually want bigger muscles - just less fat - which works out great, because the more fat you lose, the more pronounced your muscles become! ![]() |

Thank you Laura!! I am noticing lots of changes in a short amount of time and I am going to embrace it!! Don seems happy with my progress and he is hilarious so we get along fine..
![]() Today I am resting... well sort of, going swimming later after work. I am really enjoying my pool this year!.. Maybe I will even wear a decent bathing suit by summer's end. ![]() Everyone have a wonderful weekend, we are nearing our fiscal year end here at work, so I won't be online as much as I would like. I AM NOT ignoring anyone, I would love to chat more!.. I'll check in when I can! ![]() |
