I am going to try to do something that I have really never done before, but seems to work for others. I did a calorie counting thing once where I wrote everything down that I ate & how many calories/fat there was for the day. I had limits & was able to stick to them, but then I became too focused on them & even if I was not hungry, I would eat that amount of calories.
I have decided to for a little while though to try to make a food plan every morning & stick to it.
1/2/08:
Breakfast: Bowl of Bran Flakes, Banana & 2 hard boiled egg whites
Lunch: Salad with carrots, baked bonless/skinless chicken breast, cauliflower, zucchini & squash, 1/2 apple & cashews/almonds
Snack: natural cheetos (I am going to try not to snack & if I do have to have one, make it veggies, fruit, nuts or pretzles)
Dinner: Beef stew with lean beef, carrots, onions & red skin potatoes.
I am going to try not to eat anything after dinner. If I do, I will stick to raw carrots.
I also plan to get more active, take daily walks, play more & work in the yard more.
I do not know how long I am going to post everything, but I want to see if it will help.
Thanks for letting me share.
