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!!

  1. Tip #1: When you are tempted to eat something you shouldn't have, ask yourself: "Is ______ more powerful than me or am I more powerful than ____?"

  3. You are awesome. I need to start a weight loss blog so it makes me be more accountable. I have been miserable lately because of my extra weight.... I hate it! Thanks for the inspiration :)
