yup, yup, yup

to everything had to say

who knows the key to avoiding over-eating is not to let yourself get too

hungry and not to feel deprived (there is no bad food just bad portions)

[Guest guest]

Keep going ! You're doing great and you'll see the

results you want if you don't give up. I've felt a little

down too because I don't notice anything! That's why I had

to stop myself from looking and just concentrate on being

consistant with workouts. I've got problems with my eating

too, To sat the least!*LOL

That's something you've got to take one bite at a time.

I know that sounds goofey but if you think about it, it's

not such a bad idea.

For an example: Say you were going nuts wanting sweets so

you get a big piece of cake,(hmmm...cake that sounds good!)

Anyway, you're eating the cake , if you really pay

attention to your senses & your body, after a few bites,

your craving should be taken care of.

If you can take the remainder of that treat and NOT finish

it, that counts as progress!

I know this isn't too helpful but it's something I thought

about while I was eating Pepperidge Farms cookies.*HEE,HEE*

I noticed that not only did I crave the taste, but that

after a few I was satistfied but I still felt complelled to

stuff myself with more? I think it's that feeling of better

eat them while they're here!*LOL*

Anyway, I caught myself and I managed to get rid of those

guys! I didn't feel as bad afterwards either because I just

had a few.

Oh well,

I wish I could help!

Judie who's trying to find that line between depriving

yourself and being sensible.

I think we all have been there and know exactly what you are saying,

just keep going, like you said you are going to do the basic, that's

still progress. I wanted it all gone yesterday, but today is here

and I know I have to be prepared for it to take longer.

remember one day at a time, one step at a time and one goal at a time.

Keep it up you can do it!

Yep, and keep in mind that the muscle you're building now is a

calorie burning machine! I know it's hard, but try to take the focus

of your workout away from doing it to lose weight, to doing it

because you want to get better at it..higher kicks, more reps,

greater strength. The weight seems to leave when you aren't paying

attention to it..kind of like a cranky kid throwing a tamtrum.

Barb can answer this better than I can..but I'll give it a

shot..Increase your water consumption, don't have empty calorie foods

sitting around the house that will tempt you. Eat foods high in fiber

that will keep you from feeling hungry. Don't decrease your calories

too fast, just make better choices in food..high fiber low fat..stock

up on veggies and fruits. Try flax oil, it keeps your body feeling

satiated. When you crave something wait ten minutes, the craving

might pass...if you think your eating just from boredom find

something to take your mind off of it...if it persists eat it..but

slowly enjoying it and just have a small portion. Otherwise you try

to substitute what you are craving with something else, you might not

be satisified and end up eating twice as much of something that

doesn't satisfy you. Start checking your diet for empty calories and

begin eliminating them. Give yourself an off day..like once a

week..where you eat whatever you like..and don't beat yourself up

over it. Well, that's a start..hope it helps!

Good for you! The disipline that you develope by doing the workout

when you don't feel like it will take you far! I get some of my best

workouts in on days that I would rather be doing something else.

Hope this helps! Once you get the eating under control you look back

and wonder why it seemed so difficult to begin with, it really is a

lifestyle change and you shouldn't feel deprived at all...in fact

volume wise with the proper food you will probably be eating more

than you are now. Almost forgot..eat smaller portions more often..3

meals a day has more to do with social and time factors than it does

with what your body needs to be healthy.

I have had days like that but then I have had days where the work-out really

clicks (like today)

Just a part of the journey

who failed at working-out Friday cuz of ailments and didn't work-out Saturday

or Monday cuz of schedules but really rocked today

[Guest guest]

Gee Judy! That;s exactly what I taught in Weigh Down workshop for 2 1/2

years! lol! Nothing like having it thrown back in my face! lol! I know what

to do. It's a matter of wanting it to be easy and the weight to disappear

overnight! Couldn't someone just wire my jaws shut!?!?! lol! It would make

it easier! When I was in WDW, I lost 60 pounds and still enjoyed the food

that I liked. I had chocolate all the time. For some reason I don't want to

stop sometimes... ok a lot of times! lol!

WDW teaches you to eat when hungry and stop when full and eat whatever your

body is craving. It really does work if you are willing to do it. Gosh I

told that to my classes sSOOOOOOO many times! lol

Have a great day!

Burn baby burn! lol! It;s kind of hard sometimes not to focus on the weight

and how you look when you're clothes feel tighter and uncomfortable! This

time of year doesn't help either! lol! I was also hired to be a waitress at

a steakhouse a couple of days ago! They wear shorts or jeans and they line

dance! At 34, I am one of the oldest! I haven't worked in 5 years!

I am not seriously overweight, at least according to WW. They say I only

need to lose 15 pounds! I like them! lol! But I know me and I know what I

should weigh and I need to lose more than 15 pounds! But that's a good

beginning goal!

I like the cranky kid part! So true! I guess this means if I tune out my

weight and appearance like I do hubby & kids when I want to ignore them

then I will be fine! lol!

Thanks for the encouragement !
