I am sitting here eating tootsie rolls and making my weight management plan. I already feel like I need to apologize to the people who are already wishing me well in this journey. I do have to say I have done well the rest of the day so far, eating balanced meals and I have been drinking a lot of water, but I have had a migraine today that will just not go away, and the accompanying headache is atrocious. So these tootsies are not excused, but they are helping me cope at the moment. <<<shrug>>>
Anyway, I feel that the best laid plans are the simplest. I live by the K.I.S.S. motto, which is "Keep it simple stupid!" So on that note I have decided to change one thing everyday, till I reach the plan that fits me best. The diet idea I am leaning towards right now is one that a friend has been very successful doing. She focuses on her fiber intake and water. After a few months she started walking and is now up to 10,000 steps a day just while working out. She has had two kids while on this program and looses the weight immediately after. This sounds easy enough, and I could be doing that program, completely, by Monday. I started today by eliminating second servings. This is one BIG issue I have been dealing with for a long time, because I grew up having to eat everything on my plate and programmed to never ever ever waste food. So this is an issue when there is food out on the stove or when my kids don't finish there food, I almost always feel compelled to finish there plate and eat more from the stove. Sickening to read that last line back, but I do that all the time and know that this alone will be helpful....however I will be fighting this one for a while I imagine.
I have been getting all kinds of suggestions from well wishers already, and I would like to thank you all and say to everyone to please continue your contact and suggestions. I greatly appreciate it.
