Thought I would share with you all how I lost 30 pounds and continue to keep it off.
Losing weight is hard. Dieting is not fun at all, all we all know.
What worked for me is using the Weight Watchers Point System.
I did not join Weight Watchers. I had a co-worker that was a member of Weight Watchers buy the books for me. Ebay also sells them.
Using this program, you can eat what you want. Count your points. When your points are used up, you are done for the day.
If we never eat those foods we love, we are miserable! Using this system, you can eat that food you love. In moderation.
Bottom line it is portion control. It can be done. Successfully. The easiest diet I have ever been on. And it works!!!
This program teaches you self control over the portion you put on your plate.
Yet you can still enjoy the foods you love.
Yes I still over-indulge occasionally. When that happens, I watch my intake for the next few days. Carefully. It is much easier to lose 5 pounds than 30 pounds.
I look for and buy low-fat items. You really can not tell the difference. The only thing to keep in mind is the all important portion control.
Example: I love ice cream. I buy the frozen yogurt now. Tasty. I have to have Chips Ahoy cookies. I now buy the reduced fat and limit myself to 3 a day. Really not hard to do. I am satisfied.
For a extra treat I make a box of sugar free pudding. Yummy!!
We all have choices. Make your choice low-fat, sugar free, you will be amazed by what you can eat and still be satisfied.
Good luck to us all, as I said before, losing weight is hard. But it can be done.
I did it. Three years later I am still at my desired weight.
