Guys, all year I have hovered at 136-140 lbs & i dont know why, yet i do.
I think iv spent much of the time thinking about changing my attitude to food , you know. loving my veg, fruits, lean cuisine more than the choc, cookies and chips, pizzas, burgers.
I think i have done it, its not perfectt, im not crazy about fruit & veg. But boy i will tell u I pop a few fruit & veg portions a day, OUT OF choice not guilt. I naturally starting to eat less junk (out of guilt not choice) - my mindset has become like 1/2 , defo 3 cookies everyother day is plenty - no more. At a wedding this wknd i THINK i managed to pace myself at the eating, with the sweets I had a portion - the old me would have had 3. I did not have to go through a big mental debate, eat more, eat less etc - i just picked one of the plate & was not strongly tempted to eat another. It is a big applause moment for me. Also have managed this during a wk of lot of personal hassle going on - relationship wise - normally in these cases I would i have ate a lot of food, i didnt.
This does not mean i have not had blips - 2 wks ago i bo8 this brand of biscuits that really attract my sweet tooth - 10 in a pack - i ate the lot in the day. That was the really cheat item i bo8 on my shooping list & it is true - dont buy it, u wont eat it crap. I have been pretty good with my shopping list - packed with fruit, veg, diet coke, limited - very limited biscuits, yogurt - no fat, .
I had a difficult month of excercise - did not want to go , so i made myself go - fo8 with myself. Through out the year i HAVE managed on average to keep up 3/4 sessions of excecise a week - happy with that. I do believe i HAVE gained muscle , as i can lift more = ,mayb contributed to lack of lb loss.
I suppose where i am now - im ready to attack, beat the diet again. Wieght loss is 95% diet & it is more crucial when u are near u goal - i know that.
I guess starting food diary again - cutting down fat , increasing the lean cuisine - eating 1-3 slices a toast most aday focus.. that kind of stuff - to shift the pounds the healthy way. Feeling positive about this.
thanks buddies - never knew i would become so dependent on this network. x
