Although the last 2 blogs were of my history as a fat kid, I would like to let you know why I have started this.
On Sunday, I started yet another new program to lose weight. I won't mention what it is just yet as I want to see if it is worth even mentioning. I will give it a month and then let you know how it goes. Suffice it to say I drink my breakfast (no, not that way you alcoholic minded freaks!) and eat several small meals throughout the day. I am trying my best to cut back on my sugar intake. I've stopped my daily coffee bean ritual of a large black forest with whip. If nothing else, I'll save $6 a day!
The product I'm using is also supposed to help give me more energy. Now, not sure if thats going to happen, but even though I am sick today I don't feel all that bad in general and seem to have a little more pep. (is the word "pep" even used any more?)
It is so tough to change eating habits. I always have something sweet after a meal and now I am trying to break that. Doing the sugar free route for now and try to ween myself off the hard stuff.
Pretty soon it will be time to try and do the "E" word. Exercise....ugh! Fortunately, I have a dog that needs to be walked so I will start by increasing the length of the walk. Or I could just sit on the stoop and get a 200 ft leash.
Sort of defeats the purpose, you say? Who asked you! Sorry, didn't mean to snap. I'm coming off a 7 year sugar high.
Try eating natural sugars to replace your "other" sugars. Such as fruits. It's a weird thing but we end up training our bodies what to eat. When we have a "craving" for something it's our bodies telling us it needs something. Unfortunately throughout life, when we have a "sugar" craving we have satisfied it with a candy bar or something like that. You have to re-train your body! it sucks. I still haven't been successful fully. But I'm getting better!
ReplyDeleteScottie...the best advice I can give you is this: Don't eat ANY carbs after 3 pm...it works..good luck, i'm pulling for you!!
ReplyDeleteLike Emily said, try fruits, grapes to be exact. Not to sound gross, but it's like a laxative you can crap it all out...baha. In all seriousness though I think you can do it. I'll help you! I even helped you the other day, I didn't give you any of that fatty,sugary cake!
