To help when going out I learned some new tips from TV today.

1) Before you go to a holiday party eat something at home first so you are not going to the party hungry.

2) For the ladies Hold something like your purse in your hand don't carry it over your shoulder that way you only have one hand free and put a drink in that hand.

3) Don't deprive yourself of desert, just eat 3 bytes and than add salt to the rest so you won't be eager to eat anymore

4) For the ladies put your food goals in your purse and if you get the urge to eat go the bathroom and re-read your food goals.

5) For the ladies put on lip stick because you won't want to mess up your lip stick.

6) Wear a belt because it hold you accountable from eating to much.

7) Don't eat standing up

These are few trick I heard on TV today don't know if they all work but it sounds good.

oy you cut out that sugar ....

you are doing well Billie but dont starve yourself just to get the results...you will see them quicker if you can manage to cut the sugar intake and you will feel a whole lot better ( says she who has just eaten 4 custard cream biscuits for lunch )

Billie what happened to your veggies and fruit ???? I am beiing your nagging conscience especially as I have not been at all good today, I have had chips ( what you all call fries ) and a burger and fishfingers and two cups of latte coffee so I have to nag you cos I have been sooooo bad today

[billie]

I did better, then I did worse.

Lunch:

lotsa water lost track maybe 48 more oz

1 chicken breast

2 cups roasted squash

Supper:

4 pieces pizza

16 coke

The kids wanted it, so I ate it too. I could've eaten something else. Truth is, I wanted it too.

[ladypeartree]

even with the pizza you havent actually eaten much Billie so what are you going to do about it? watch your metabolism doesnt stop working at peek rate if you cut down too drastically

[billie]

Today:

1 cup raisin bran

1/4 cup extra raisins

3/4 cup whole milk(ran out of nonfat )

16 oz water

1 nonfat toffeenut mocha from Starbucks

1 piece lasagna(about the size of a sliced-bread sandwich)

1 piece garlic bread(about the size of a hot dog bun)

2 cups coffee

2 tbsp sugar

1/2 cup whole milk

16 oz water

half a piece lasagna

half a piece garlic bread

1/2 cup green tea(sweetened )

1/2 cup coke

This is all day. I'm about to go to bed right now. I may drink more water but that's all. The lasagna came from my wonderful mother. I don't feel great about eating it, but I didn't eat a lot. I'll be back on my regular eating plan tommorrow and Tuesday. Weigh in's Wednesday. I don't think I did too well this week.

but Billie the whole point of this was so that you learn how to eat a more healthy variety and you have already achieved that you have lost a LOT of weight in a very short space of time ( the normal recommended amount is 2 pounds a week ) You may be cutting down too much cos if you feel hungry then you need to fill up a bit more on fruit and veg ( still short in your diet ) and you posted somewhere else that you feel hungry ...dont let your body go into starvation mode or you will never lose weight, you need to make sure you eat about 1000 to 1500 calories every day and you will still lose weight unless you are sitting down and not moving around at all ( very likely with two young children )

You are doing sooooo well so dont get downhearted now
