(I hope that’s how you spell it…..it looks right)
\nAt any rate, I have an appointment to talk with a dietitian. I seriously need to loose weight, and I want help creating a structure of meals to follow in planning what I eat during the day.
\nI’ve worked at home for twenty years and fell into the trap of snacking through out the day. Food is comfort and love to me, so I frequently think of what food I can serve for family and friends who visit. Rather than looking at food as entertainment, I need to switch my philosophy from “living to eat,” to “eating to live.”
\nI need help breaking my eating habits into three smaller meals and two or three snacks a day. My purpose is to keep hunger at bay, while I make sure I hit the food groups I need.
\nI want to find ways to get more protein into my morning meal, and I want help to determine what volume I should be eating. When you eat all the time, you tend to loose track of how much you should eat.
\nI know the strategies. I have them in my head. Now, I need to put them to work and see some success. Thank you, to all of you, who have shared your strategies with me. I hope that I’ll be able to remember all the great suggestions I’ve heard.
\nExercise early in the day (Kim K.)
\nDrink WATER (Lynda and Nan)
\n12 raw almonds make a great snack (Nan) (walnuts, too)
\nFat free yogurt as a snack (Dr. E)
\nDrink water before meals
\nPut your fork down between bites (Dr. S.)
\nMake my goal 5 pounds, a manageable amount (Shelly)
\nThose are just some of the good ideas that have come my way. Perhaps I’ll have more to share once I get going on this. If you need to loose weight, don’t wait! It gets harder the longer you put it off!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
