Thanks Vie...hubby doesn't really have a weight problem, he weighs 158 and is about 2 inches taller than me. But when he hit 40 he began to develop that little belly in the front, you know he looks about 6 months along in a pregnancy? He just looks in the mirror, pats it and says, "well...I guess I need to do some sit-ups". He has never restricted his eating habits but he thinks he is when he eats only 6 cookies instead of 8. He can be comical...only because he is so serious. I have gently tried to break the truth to him but he just doesn't get it. But he is great, just because he thinks I'm to die for, guess I'll keep him. ;o)Suevstankosky wrote:

Just to clarify (grrrr email!), I meant "oops" for me, not Sue.

Re: Re: Help Me! Talk to Me......

I thought about counting calories, but that is the main reason I picked this diet, counting anything gets very tiresome after a while.

This was yesterday:

3 fried eggs

(church)

grilled large chopped sirloin patty, about a 1 1/2 cups of lettuce, topped with broccoli, radishes, red peppers, mozzerella chesse, one boiled egg and Newman's Own Olive Oil and Vinegar dressing

(I was very, very full after eating this.)

After a short nap...I had about 3/4 cup of Jello and one cup of coffee.

For supper

grilled chicken breast taco salad...tomatoes, onions, FF sour cream and salsa

When you write it out it doesn't seem like that much, but I always get totally full, and I never allow myself to be hungry. I do eat a lot of salad instead of cooked veggies, I've always loved raw veggies over the cooked version. I had been eating 1/2 cup of oat bran every morning, but decided to go back to eggs as much as I possibly could. I always eat at least one salad every day, usually at lunch.

I am 5' 7' 145 to 150 is my goal. The 7th of this month will be 8 months eating this way for me, I've come too far to quit or give up, and I've become like programmed to eating this way, I hate to start over and reprogram to another method. I'm not sure I could, this was so much easier that most others I had tried. And I've been stuck for 4 months, I can't imagine the starvation mode lasting that long...I could be wrong. After the first couple of months with this diet, I'd sort of stall out, then 3 weeks to a month I'd drop anywhere from 3 to 5 pounds. But this time, it just isn't happening. This is what I found at the Prevention site in reference to this:

Beesmom: Can you tell me about weight loss "plateaus" and how to overcome them? I started SBD in September, lost 14 lbs, but I've been stalled ever since Thanksgiving. I've been on Phase 1 again since New Year's Day, but no weight loss. I need to lose 15-20 lbs more. Dr. Agatston : We find several reasons for plateauing. One is when the ideal weight has been achieved for an individual, which is indicated by excellent blood chemistries. Yet from ! the individual's viewpoint, she feels like she wants to lose more weight. The test of whether the diet has worked is the absence of cravings. If you are feeling well and are not having cravings, then the diet has worked optimally. If there are still cravings, there is a good chance that you are consuming the wrong foods or too much of a recommended food such as peanuts. If you have lost your cravings yet still want to lose more weight, it becomes necessary to increase your metabolism through an exercise program. It will be necessary to increase aerobic exercise and some resistance training, which will increase your muscle and bone mass and thereby increase your metabolism. Trying to lose more weight by using self-discipline to severely restrict calories will generally lead to yo-yo dieting. I hope this is helpful.

Thanks for all your help, Sue
