It is a fact the eating to fast will make you gain more weight, your body doesn’t have enough time to register with your brain that it’s full, and some of us will just keep going.
Mindless eating happens more than it should in my world, I eat things with out evening thinking about how much or why I just ate them.
Just because it says Vitamin water doesn’t mean it’s good for you, that is 100 + calories out of my diet I just drank. Not good. They have, however, come out with a tasty 10 calorie version that I am loving- without that icky aspartame or Splenda.
Drinking just double what I normally do (not what they wish I would) has made me eat less, but oddly enough has made me thirstier.
I am an all or nothing kind of girl, so if I feel like I have fallen off my routine or healthful ways-I sometimes just keep going until the next day. What I need to do is stop viewing it as a “Health Crime” and get back to the Rehab plan on my next meal or snack. One slip up doesn’t justify a Food Crime spree.
Normally very driven by stress or fear I have found the exact opposite to be true lately and have been slacking on all things in my life. I have no idea why that has changed but it is adding more stress just thinking about all the things I have let go. Including- my previous great exercise routine.
My five year old niece can do Yoga better than I can and has shared with me that it makes her healthy and she knows this because she can feel her heart beating. If I only had the wisdom of her five year old self and the discipline!
After giving up caffeine in large doses in 2003, I have found myself drinking coffee and overindulging in caffeine lately. Normally it is just one black iced tea. I find if I drink to much caffeine I eat like crap. I have no idea why, but know this to be true. I always thought it suppressed the appetite, not so in my case.
I won my first ever contest from another blog. I am still overly excited. It is Dr. Kracker products. http://www.drkracker.com/
I won five boxes of original and one of a new flavor, I believe. I am excited as this will make a healthy snack and I love to try something new. The best part is….I won!!!
I had stopped taking pretty much all my supplements for the sake of being lazy and there were so many. I have started again and it has only been three days, but I think I feel the difference. Maybe the nutritionist and trainer really do know something.
I think standing naked in front of a full length mirror or any mirror for that matter is one scary wake up call. It can also lead to depression and a world of “How did I let this happen”? What if, , why, and I should of…
Since I mentally beat myself up on a regular basis (It is now just habitual) it is nice to have a husband that see’s things from a different prospective, and still after all these years and this awful weight gain he thinks he is a lucky man. He is my biggest cheerleader, and yes, he is a keeper!
This week I made pesto chicken breast with South Beach potatoes (pureed cauliflower with butter and parmesan cheese) it was one of the best dinner’s we have had in a long time, it was healthy and a hit. Why didn’t I think of it before? And who knew my husband would eat green looking chicken. I am excited that spring is sort of here and summer is on its way. Some of the best healthy foods come off my grill.

I was always told to drink water before a meal by 30 minutes and you're not as hungry nor do you eat too fast!!! It works!!!
My 13 is posted....all flowers in our yard, done in a collage for you. Drop by if you can find time. Happy Thursday.
Hmm...all great insights. I'm with you on the food crime spree. :) Happy Thursday!
Thursday 13 - edition 3
Weekly Plans 4/13-4/20
Lots of stuff to think about.
Hang in there.
Much food for thought here (pun intended lol) Great list. Happy T13!
It's good to know I'm not the only one who is so hard on myself for falling off the health wagon. I like "Health Crime". That made me giggle. I'm going to turn that phrase on myself when I start beating myself up.
I wish I wasn't so lazy and cared enough to lose some weight. All the fat from the last two babies is still there, and I don't even think about it. I've settled into being comforatble and that isn't good. Good luck to you.

I am so bad about not eating too fast. My husband laughs at me when I eat in front of the computer, but I eat slower when I do it. I get distracted!!
T13 - 54th Edition
Weekly Plans: Come join in the fun
It's always hard changing your diet.
I admire you for just plugging away. I tend to vacillate - good week, bad week. You're really making this happen.
Wonderful insights. Thanks for sharing since many of these are things I need to think about myself.
Happy TT
