I weighed this am and have lost 6 pounds in the last two weeks and am very happy about that.
I have again tuned into a couple of reasons for the pound-creepage (as I like to call it).
The biggest (no pun intended) one being: portion control. I am sure it stems from my childhood and bring forced to clean my plate or sit at the kitchen table until 9:00pm until I did but it is extremely difficult for me to leave food on my plate.
If you plunk down enough food for two- I most probably will eat it.
I am back to putting much less than I think I need on my plate, allowing myself to have more if I am still hungry and I find that by the time I am finished, I no longer am hungry!
The other is being around others also living a healthy eating plan. It is very difficult to do if everyone around you is not eating in a healthy manner. It is difficult but certainly not impossible!
Just keeping my eye on the prize(s): one more size downward (not upward) and a much better cholesterol reading with my next labs!
Have a great weekend everyone!
