For me it was more about what I ate, I already had a very physical job, (chasing 2yr olds around all day) But I am a salty junk food junky. So I stopped all salt intake, I quit drinking soda all together (Pepsi was my drug of choice), instead of going to Burger King or Mcdonalds for luch I would bring a salad from home. Instead of fried foods (which I love), I began to bake my meats, and steamed veggies instead of cooked with loads of butter. Instead of white breads and such, I began to eat whole grains, and pita pockets were great to make sandwhiches with. It's a healthy balance of food and exercise. And drink lots of water before your meals, it helps fill you up. Also use smaller dinner plates so you think your eating larger portions than you realy are.

I know this isn't easy, as I'm a food addict myself. But if you will discipline yourself to eat slower and pay attention to when you feel satisfied and stop eating then (rather than eating until you feel stuffed to the gills), you will decrease your caloric intake by default. Also, if you aren't hungry, don't eat. If someone is passing out snacks, see if you can hold the snacks somewhere until your body tells you it needs food (I know, easier said than done, but still...). Finally, if you feel you are craving a certain food, chances are your body needs the nutrients that food provides, so it is best to eat according to the craving. I lost I dropped 4-5 dress sizes simply by learning and applying this principle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'll do okay in your weight loss efforts, keysha, and I'm sure EVERYONE (except OneLight!) can relate to your struggles. Know that I am pulling and praying for you to succeed, sister.
