Health & Support Calling all cereal bingers! Jun 22 2008

I love cereal too!  All kinds.  Healthy, sugary, flakes, puffs, with clusters, without clusters.  For me I just have to stay away, because I can't control it.  I've even been avoiding reading this thread today for fear I might have to go eat some after! Surprised

I understand, too!  I try to do crossword puzzles to destract myself from thinking about food, calories.  I don't just focus on the words, but work on writing the letters neatly.  Or trying a new way to write a letter.  I know.  Really stupid.  But right now my favorite letter to write is a capital G.  Go fiGure!  :)

2 weeks ago I ate 1/2 an avocado.  i put the other half in those new green bags that are supposed to keep veggies fresh longer.  well, i forgot about the avocado and found it 1 week later.  It was still perfectly green and fresh.

I've just really really decreased the fast food, junk food and meats and increased fruits and veggies.  i try to carry around a kellogg's 90 calorie bar or two in case i get really hungry and don't have any healthy options available.  i'm really not counting carbs or fat, just calories and lots of veggies.  today for lunch we went to qdoba, which can be extremely high in calories if you're not careful.  i ordered a veggie bowl with rice, (only 1 scoop) no beans, extra veggies and tomato salsa.  it was filling and delicious.    tonight i was getting ready to cook dinner and thought to myself that i have never seen so many vegetables in my fridge before.  it was pretty cool.  this site has some great low calorie recipes and i'm enjoying trying new things.

ddeceive, i hate to say it, but plain old diet and exercise.  i've been watching every single bite i put in my mouth.  but i don't deprive myself of anything, either.  I just make sure i plan ahead, so it hasn't been hard to stick to it.  For instance, my husband and I were going to go to a baseball game (go rockies!) and i knew that i wanted a beer and nachos.  My favorites!  So i had a smaller breakfast and lunch.  I don't do that every day though.  I've increased my fruit and vegetables, reduced meats and fats, and count count count those calories. 

also, everybody's body is different.  i started at 205, so the weight is going to come off faster than if i only had 20 pounds to lose. 

good luck to you!

Thanks so much!  Ka, I almost did buy 1 pair that was the next smaller just to keep me going, but decided not too.  i knew i'd try them on and when they didn't fit i was afraid i'd get discouraged.  but i did get some cute pants!!!
