17 pounds!

I hit a nasty plateau for a while but I'm back on track!  It drives me crazy how easy it is to put on the weight and how hard it is to take off!  I don't have a lot of tips but here a couple things I've realized in the past few weeks.

#1 I can't let myself get too hungry.  Healthy snacks in between small meals are the way to go.  If I get hungry it becomes too easy to eat too much of something I'm not supposed to.

#2 I can't let myself get bummed about the weight I'm at or how long this process is going to take.  I need to be patient and take it one day at a time.

#3 I struggle with eating too big of portions so I've learned to keep extra food further than arms length.  This way I have to think about getting more rather than mindlessly serving myself more food.

Thanks to everybody for your support!  It helps so much!!
