Today has been a great day. I successfully went out to eat dinner and forwent temptation. I ate a delicious Talapia with steamed shrimp, a baked potato and a salad. Tonight everyone enjoyed ice cream and I had a slice of toast with sugar free jelly and sugar free bread with peanut butter. It satisfied my sweet tooth and was filling. Each day gets a little easier and I must say having the body bugg has been such a good thing for me. The only person that I can really lie too is myself. It really does hold me accountable.
A couple of tips that I would like to give to those out there wanting to lose weight.
1. Do not eat while your standing. I find that I consume about half as many carbs. while sitting and eating a meal as I do while I am standing.
2. Do not eat while you cook. If you find this hard to do. Get carrots or celery sticks out and nibble on them while you cook. I mindlessly can eat 500 calories EASY while standing and cooking. Hence the first and second tip.
3. Left overs are OK. If your child doesn't eat all their food avoid the feeling of having to not waste food. If that's the case, put it in the fridge to have as a snack later or a meal the following day.
4. Last but not least, use a small salad plate for your dinner plate. I found that my servings were WAY off and I kept them in better check when I started using a smaller plate.
These, of course, are tips that most people know, but they have really helped me so far. At this point I am willing to do anything to be successful!
