“For the most part, I can give up sweets, other than the occasional chocolate or a slice of carrot cake, or …ummmm…HOME MADE CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES. I used to be totally addicted to anything salty, but I think I’ve finally broken that habit. Now, it seems that comfort food, and things with a complex mix of ingredients draw me.
I have a plan…..maybe I’ll just go to the blog for this….”
As I was saying to Adele in the comments of Just Desserts, I have a plan.
1. No snacking.
2. Eat at regular times.
3. Treadmill or exercise every day.
4. Follow a low carb diet.
5. Gradually cut back on serving sizes.
I plan to eat oatmeal for breakfast, about 7:00 in the morning. A piece of fruit, or fruit yogurt at mid morning. A light lunch, probably soup or salad around noon. A second piece of fruit at mid afternoon, and dinner with Dear Husband. I assume that I can follow his diabetic diet, and have healthy meals.
I’m thinking about adding #6 (which would mean I’d have less time for blogging): Be more active after dinner.
And, I like Cop Car’s mantra of saying the weight I want to achieve over and over, when I’m tempted to cheat on my diet! *G*
Rather than trying to accomplish all that on one day, I’m going to add one aspect at a time until I can juggle it all. I know I’ll slip now and then, but hopefully, I’ll go right back at it.
What do you think??
