You can do it and you are right. I find it so hard working in an office, where once a month, we have a food day. I am talking foods so rich and heavy, that just looking at them, you will gain weight. I am trying to cut down on my sweet tooth and I bought a bag of dried cranberries to snack on between when I have lunch before work and when I go to dinner. I have found it is easier to keep track of what I eat on my days off than when I am working.
Good luck and see you at the Peabody Gym in Little Rock!

I need to keep it real and remember that this is how the weight-gain slowly comes back. I worked hard to get the weight that I lost so far off and being up a few lbs isn't too bad. So I need to do something about it now before it ends up being more weight gain week-to-week which means everything I lost will come back on.
I mentioned in earlier posts that there is never any middle ground with me. It's either all or nothing. This is the only way I'll be able to achieve my goal(s). And if I truly put my mind to it, I'll be able to accomplish my goal.
It's getting back into the "healthy" mind-set which I have difficulty with. All it takes is one taste of something unhealthy and I'm hooked on it again and will continue to eat those foods in small portions, subconsciously thinking it's "ok" to do. Well, it isn't for me. This is what gets me off track and I start to decline and go backward and the weight slowly put back on.
Battling weight sucks and it's a fuckin' major effort. It's more difficult this time around because of my hormonal issues and being peri-menopause.
The battle continues on...
Have a good day everyone.
