Losing Weight


It has been so hard for me. Last week I lost 6 pounds and I was so excited. One rule of thumb is that when your "friend" comes over for a week you don't lose weight as much because of water weight gain. Well this week I only lost one pound. I also have the cravings of sweets and salty. It would be easy but I stop myself by buying snacks and leaving them at home and munching on them constantly. Days like to day where I am not at work, Tyler had a dr appointment, are REALLY hard because I eat more when I am bored. I have been VERY bored today and so I have probably killed my diet for the week.
The best thing that I can do is portion out in my head how many points I get throughout the morning, then how much I will allow myself for lunch. Mid afternoon is the worst and then I scrounge my points at night just to eat. I lost 50 pounds a few years ago, I know I can do it again I just have to retrain myself.
This little man is my inspiration!

I hear you sister... My worst downfall is I haven't had much self control when it comes to food, good or not. I never had a problem with this, but I all of the sudden I love food and don't want to give it up. You go girl! Thanks for the inspiration. Maybe I can have a little more self control myself.

You Rock! My diet (snort) lasted 3 days...The hardest thing for me is not getting out of the house and having to fix the kids snacks every 2 hours...or more. I think you look great, keep up the great job...sorry if it's hard to be good around me..I'll try to be better.
