Good for you, Buffy! I realized too that I was not really logging everything, & even though much of what I wouldn't bother was "healthy", i.e. veggies I add to my soup or salad, a few grapes, etc., as we all well know, they can add up too. So, I'm with you on the no exceptions, no excuses! xoxox

I know what you mean. I have been doing Atkins. I have not been watching portions. Just because it has low or no carbs doesn't mean it has low or no calories. Calories add up no matter how many carbs. Through the lips and on the hips!

You can do it! I've been struggling too but I'm hoping that a challenge will help keep me more accountable.

It's a good game plan Buffy and you can do it. Just remember if you eat it, you have to log it. That usually stops me from eating something I shouldn't....knowing people can see me cheating! :)

February is a short month so it will be over before you know it. Just push through it!

I think that with spring in sight in February, you'll bust through that challenge like a conqueror!

Ruth - It is surprising how quickly those little things add up. Best of luck on your new start.

Sophie - I hated to admit that I would ever need to do the "counting calories and measuring portion sizes" method, but here I am! And it seems I am not alone. No one said it would be easy - or if they did they lied!

DairyFarmesWife - Yes, I agree. As embarrassing as it is to admit, when it comes to weight loss we are like children who require a babysitter.

Mokakiss - thanks for the reminder. I am awful about sneaking back into my food diary "after the fact" to try to remember what I ate.

Tracy - I don't even want to think about shorts! On America's Funniest Home Videos they had an overweight woman who looked like she had baby faces formed from the wrinkles of fat on her knees. I looked at mine afterward and I think I can see baby faces too!

Sandy - yes spring is an incentive. Not sure yet if it is the hope of spring or the fear of spring - see above comment to Tracy - LOL

Buffy, you will lose that 7 lbs in February cause you will measure out your portions and weigh the servings. I have been doing it for a whole week now and look what happened for me? Who knew? I did count out 19 nuts. It looked pitiful but I snatched them away and skulked in the corner and I et them. LMAO!

Mom - I still think you have more confidence in me that I do in myself. BTW - 19 nuts is pitiful but I know we can teach ourselves that this is "a portion". Old dogs can learn new tricks - right?

Wow Buffy thats the way to be stricked on your self..Make not to self..Bren read Buffy's journals to get great ideas...Thanks you...:O)
|
Oh, do I hear you, everything is true for me too. I know I have come a long way from where I was to where I am, BUT, there is just this "itsy-bitsy" lil problem of portion control. counting out 19 nuts is exactly what we need to do...GOOD JOB M2B!
