Tuesday, February 7th, 2012

Today starts my more relaxed phase of my eating plan. I get to have more food! WOO HOO! I’ve come up with a few rules for myself this time and I want to see if it helps me maintain better. I’ve done a bit of yo yoing and I want that to STOP! 1. High [...]

  Recently, I was discussing being prepared with some others on their weight loss journey. I suggested a couple things and though I’d share them with you. I’d also love it if you chime in and share tips that have worked for you! 1. Plan ahead where you’re going to eat if you’re out and [...]

  Back to work time! I did eat treats over Christmas but I was not out of control or mindless eating. I just ate too much! Also my body did not care for the carbs–so I have a bit of “undoing” to work on now! I’m hoping to reach my goal this year–we shall see!! [...]

Eating Crow

Wednesday, January 4th, 2012

So, awhile ago, I posted about how well I was doing on my diet. About how sugar and junk didn’t bother me. Well, at Christmas, I gave myself permission to eat treats. I didn’t crave them. I was not out of control. I did eat too much. Let’s just say I learned a VERY valuable [...]

Last week, Lisa asked me this. “I would like to know what it is that you credit with your ability to stop eating when you are full, and your ability to resist your forbidden foods. I know very little about the HCG diet. I have a friend who does it under a doctor’s supervision, but [...]

Tellin’ The Truth~Wednesday Edition

Tuesday, December 6th, 2011

This is a photo of  my old favorite skirt and my new exercise/jammy pants. In the interest of full disclosure I’ll tell you that the pants are way smaller than I actually wear in clothing. I don’t know why? However, they DO fit me without cutting me in 1/2 and so I DO wear them. [...]

I’ve not been posting this faithfully! Sorry. I’m on the relaxed phase of my diet–basically low carb but not super low. The only rules are to maintain the weight loss by not eating any sugar or starch. I’m hoping that I will do well! I’m taking a break until January. I think that will be [...]

Tuesday, October 11th, 2011

Well, I’ve lost all the weight I gained by cheating and being lazy all summer. In some ways that’s ok that I was lazy and cheating. This is a life long process for me. I don’t have the genes that will allow me to quit being vigilant. It’s good to take a bit of a [...]

I Got An Email Today…

Wednesday, September 28th, 2011

from a plus size store/website I used to order from. It said they missed me and wanted me back and offered a coupon. The best part is that I can’t shop there anymore!   WOO HOO! Doing the happy dance!!   I may use it for a necklace or something but seriously, I can’t shop [...]

    Today, I thought I’d share some of the products I like to use or I’ve found helpful with my diet. I switched to natural body products as well. I work on finding the best deals and use them sparingly. I’m being lazy and decided to not post links or photos but you can [...]
