Today was another great day, first with my weigh in this morning and incredible loss, then by staying on track with my eating. It's like I finally learned how to make this work.
I'm not starving myself, I am not "dieting", I am making a positive and permanent lifestyle change. My epiphany began by asking myself some questions.
First, Why have I been able to lose weight in the past, but was never able to keep it off? The answer, Because once I was off my diet, I resumed normal, destructive eating patterns.
Second, How can I prevent this from happening again? Answer, By making changes in such small ways that they become habit, that they become permanent.
So do I still have sweets? Yes, but only one of my 100 calorie packs. Hostess has a line of chocolate cream filled mini cupcakes that are to die for. You get three in one pack, so it's much more satisfying than a mini candy bar, or trying to only eat a portion of a full sized baked good... I mean, you get three! I eat them slow, and savor them!
I eat what I want, I even had the munchies for fried food at walmart yesterday. So I had a small cup of popcorn shrimp. 150 calories and really easy to fit into my day.
I don't feel like I'm dieting. Tonight for example, In order to fill me up I ate a plate of 2 cups of frozen mixed veggies before my simple tuna salad. It was a huge amount of food, but only 50 cals. Using the definition of volumetrics as well as not depriving myself of the foods I crave is really helping me and makes me feel like this is a change I can make for life.
