Bizi that Hattie is so adorable. I'm glad you had fun fishing, it's nice to do something different for a change. And it looks like you were having a blast.

Beth thanks for sharing, there is almost a feeling of contact and connection when the bird is looking at you.
Barbara, maybe we should spend a week eating our cravings out then go on a diet? I am procrastinating feeling nothing helps. THe doctor saying a lot of it is post meno and heriditry did not lift me. I guess I will cut out all sweets except fruit and try to commit to the treadmill every day. I would love to lose 50 lbs but would be thrilled at 30. di

50, or even 30 pounds is not something that can be done overnight. and dieting IS hard - even just using restraint.
simply cutting out sweets except fruit will do fabulously. perhaps with one day a week when you are allowed to have them, if that works for you (some ppl do better if they stay away from the taste altogether or it causes cravings). and if you can do the treadmill 3 times a week, even if not every day, that will really help coz it will keep your body from settling into a lower energy mode. you have a good plan. but, i recommend you make some short term goals. or milestones. but focus on those and not the 30 or much less the 50 pounds. go for 5 pounds at a time. and remember that losing slowly is more likely to keep it off. more than a pound a week is not a great idea. i could lose about 20 KILOS... i.e. 44lbs... i'd be happy with 15... ie. 33lbs. i go for 2 kilos at a time. that's 4.4 lbs. here everything is in kilos... i had to get used to that. i am not on a diet but have found i have been doing less compulsive eating. so far though, my weight has not budged in spite of that. i don't eat sweets - all i could do in that direction is not put sugar in my coffee (but i like it). i don't eat much bread, so not much to cut there either. i'm trying to eat more raw veggies - as opposed to cooked. more filling. i am also eating separate foods from my parents at times... this is hard. but this will come in handy when they have something fried. but those are the hardest to say no to. i'm not big on fruit, and fruit juices are not the same as fruit. also heavy to carry home for my folks. good luck, Di. don't give up hope. sometimes it takes a while for the body to respond and "decide" to use its fat stores. GEEZZ, NOW i suddenly realize why it COULD BE i've felt so tired this week... fewer calories from not compulsive eating.... hmmmmmmm. (btw, that is incidental, and not willpower. but thank goodness!!!!) ~ waves ~ |
