Gonna Try Again.....

Janet
I so understand what you mean, i too need to lose weight (lots and lots), it is so hard though when you like your food. Your right we all know what we need to do to change our eating habits for life, it is a new way of life, not just for a period of time.
I am trying to get back to the old fashioned way of eating (Grandparents etc), small portion of meat and then vegetables or salad, and fruit to fill up on. My problem is i dont eat any breakfast or anything in fact until lunchtime, 1 - 2 pm. I know this is not good but i honestly dont feel hungry at all - now night-time is a different matter.

Yes.... i think to myself when the weight has come off then maybe we will feel more energetic... and so can eat a few of the goodies without worrying too much. I think taking it a little at a time is good, i am trying to be very good all week - which though is hard, is going ok. Then at weekends i just have to be a bit more relaxed.... but the way i look at it it has to be better than not doing anything at all

Or is that just me trying to justify myself????

I am quite active all day with work etc, but have been taking Harvey out most evenings for a walk, mostly dont want to go - but then feel glad when i have been!!! But the little boooooger now wont let me not go - he mithers me at the time we usually go, i dont know bullied by a little 3.5 lb Yorkie

So good luck, i will be thinking of you.

Way to go Janet!! That's a great way to start. I've lost a million pounds over the years. and it's still a daily battle

KEEP WALKING

I'm with you Janet! Fruits and veggies, a couple of servings of proteins, good fat, lots of water, and I have no idea how many carbs we are supposed to eat anymore! They keep changing their minds

The walking is a great idea. I bet it's nice and relaxing too!

I've done really good this week. I am really enjoying the walking except for today...it's so cold and windy. It's 12:30 PM and only 43 degrees. Suppose to be warming up this weekend and next week to the mid 70's so that will be nice.

I wish you were here or me there too Diana. I would love walking with you.

Betsi...I think I've lost a million pounds over the years too. Wish I would have paid attention when I gained it all the first time. Oh well...water under the bridge...I just need to pay attention this time. We'll see how it goes...LoL....

I'm glad you've done good this week!

I do have to say that I've really been enjoying the walking. I've always liked to walk, but it's really making me happy to do this and I look forward to it. It's a start so I sure hope the weather warms a bit....walking when it's in the 40's and windy is c c c c old. Brrrrr!

I'm glad to hear that you like the walking. I love walking too, but I have tight hamstrings, so walking makes the back of my legs hurt - not when I'm walking - but for the rest of the day, especially when I get up from sitting. Of course, the answer is to stretch the hammies really well, but I hate to do that, so I jsut usually complain.
