People keep asking, "what are you doing? What's your secret?" My answer remains this. I eat small portions throughout the day. Portion control. I started by restricting myself to 2000 calories for a while, then I dropped to 1600, then I dropped to 1200, to actually start to drop pounds. When I'm having a so called BAD day, I have my 1600. When I'm "BINGING" (usually once every two weeks/read HORMONES) I get that full 2000 again) But it's never all at once. It's STILL broken into 5 portions. And I'm exercising. Nothing drastic. AT ALL. And as for those foods. I try my best to get more vegetables. real vegetables, not juiced ones. Real crunchy used to be raw veggies. Yes, there are times I have to re-set and go back to my processed foods and eat from a box to get back under control with portions and time restraints for preparations, but it's not a long term solution by any means, but it's not the mother of all evils either. And when I have those times when my weight goes up 8 pounds, I don't get crappy about it (most days). I just know what I'm doing isn't working. I stop and think about it and say okay, lets do something different. This isn't forever. Remember last week when I was so upset I couldn't beat 220 on the scale? Well the weeks before that I was super pissed I couldn't get to 230. And then I was super excited that I was 210 and now if I see 210 I go to bed a little miffed thinking what did I do to piss off gravity today, but I *usually* get up thinking I'm going to do just fine and even if it's one of those days where I have to eat pizza, I let my body do it and I know I've come this far and I can go that much more. AS LONG AS I GET BACK UP!
Oh and my monkey thought for the day: Wear shoes even in your HOME gym because I tripped over my bowflex and thought I broke like six toes on one foot, even though I only chipped my nail polish. It hurt that bad, but I was afraid to look for a little while.
