Some ways to be successful...

Good Morning Everyone,

Well I feel like I am just about back to normal now. As you know I have lost 90lbs and my weight usually goes between 148-150. People we can't be that hard on ourselves. Our weight is gonna fluctuate a bit. My goal (if you want to call it that now) is to stay with-in 145-150lbs. I am 5'7" and I feel I look and feel great at this size. I don't ever want to be below 145 so remember I said this and if my weight ever goes below that - you have my permission to come over and slap me and feed me cake. LOL

I am one of those people who weigh-in daily. I have always done this. I feel it is the best way to tell what or if we did wrong or what is working. Why wait till the end of the week and get a big fat surprise. It has been a great way for me to be accountable for what I eat.

Another way that I have been so successful is from all the support. You really need to chime in with others that are doing and going thru similar things. Lets face it, we all started out FAT (I can say that now) and we all  have that in common. And the fact that we are all trying so hard to be healthy now.

So if you are new here, click on the button that says join this site, start leaving comments and we can all help -  support - and give love to each other during our Fat to Healthy journey.

There is a list of blogs below, Please go to their sites and do the same for them. If you have started a blog; tell us about yourself and leave you blog address in the comments below and I will add it to my list.

A couple things that have saved me many times from eating wrong while  was out is to keep a baggie of nuts in my purse at all times. I only eat almonds, and walnuts. If you get hungry between meals or anytime eat some nuts.

I also carry some of these in my purse all the time too as long as it is not too hot so they won't melt.

I buy them at Wal-Mart and they are individually wrapped. I put about 4 in a baggie in my purse so when I get a sweet tooth (which is a lot) I just grab one and eat.

I also keep a case of bottled water in the garage and if I am going somewhere that takes more than 30 minutes - I grab one. We need water and lots of it. I always sneak one in my purse if we go to the movies too.

I made a batch of Pumpkin coconut flour bread yesterday and made them into 8 mini loaves. It  was delicious.  (on recipe tab, under coconut bread)

My breakfast this morning, the rest of the coconut pancakes w/cream cheese, strawberry natures hollow,  eggs, and berries. ( remember that I would never eat that many berries before while I was losing. Maybe only about 6-8 total)

I was talking to my babies yesterday and they are such good listeners.

Peaches, just a cutie pootie.

Mandy, such a good listener, her ears go up when I talk to her.

You know the way we think we look is not the same as what others see when they look at us. I have realized that now. On Saturday when I went to my old neighbor's house, her Sister in law hasn't seen me in a while and said she thought I looked too thin now. I think maybe she was so used to seeing me so big.

Well I hope everyone has a great day today no matter what you do.

Thanks for listening. Big hugs to anyone that needs it (XXXXXXXXXXXXX)

MY thought for the day:

It’s Time To Stop Struggling

A further sign of health is that we don’t become undone by fear and trembling, but we take it as a message that it’s time to stop struggling and look directly at what’s threatening us.

Keep on BFC ' n  :-)
