Healthy Weight Loss

I don't know what I would do without this thread, the wonderful people here on the Planet, and the motivation that everyone brings here all the time ............ its amazing, which is why I keep coming back (among other things) :-)

I know how you feel about the dad thing Anya; My dad makes comments about My weight all the time and while I didn't start to know him until I was 14 yrs old that hasn't stopped him. He is also someone who constantly bring temptation into the house and when I can't help Myself but to over indulge, he just smirks and will make comments about it. I've told him that keeping things in the house is a problem with Me and yet he does not seem to get it so trying to eat healthy with him is damn near impossible. There was a sale on last week on 1L pepsi's so he bought Me like eight of them ~ that was on Saturday and I have two left besides the one I'm drinking now. I feel bad about falling off the wagon so badly but once these are done I'm getting back on track no matter what he says or does.

I'm getting better at watching what I eat and how much. I've cut down alot on sugar like chocolate (which I eat alot less of before than I did) plus I dont snack at night anymore unless its a very small something a pudding or maybe a mini bag of popcorn. I've also discovered these wraps from 7-11 that are filling and OH SO addicting! My absolute favorite that I have discovered is a spinach-flavored tortilla and wrapped inside is lettuce, mayo, cheese and three different types of meat (pepperoni, ham and cappicola ham). The other two I've also had for lunch and they are SO yummy: the first is a regular tortilla and wrapped inside is lettuce, bacon and chicken salad; the second one I forget everything thats in it but it has this aged extra hot sauce that is quite hot but omg it was GOOD.

I love how encouraging everyone is here and I appreciate the support that I've been shown as well :-)

Matthew... that's awesome that you've found a healthier alternative at the 7-11. Those wraps sound YUMMY! Hey, that beats a burger or a fried taquito anyday! Wraps are some of my favorite lunchtime meals! And I totally hear what you are saying about the Pepsi thing. Soda is a hella hard thing to give up! I know, I had it bad with Diet Coke. When I tried to give it up, I would get the worst headaches, but I noticed that the more water I drank the quicker the headaches went away. After a couple days the headaches were gone & the craving for soda went away, too.

You said that your dad bought you 8 liters and you still had 2 left... and you'll quit after those are gone. Without being harsh, dump them down the sink now. We are all guilty of, "when I do this, I'll do that." If you are really ready to give up the soda, there is no better time than now. You can do it... I have all the faith in the world in you!!!

Food temptation is hard... fucking hard! Especially when not everyone in the household is on the eating healthier kick. My sugguestion to you is to keep healthy options in the house (popcorn, baked chips, frozen yogurt) for when they start eating all the junk food. That way, you are still munching with them, but eating better stuff. Call it a mind trick, but it works!

Matthew, good to see you changing some of your habits. But I'm begging you, pleading with you to stop eating 7-11 food. The more you can move away from processed foods of any kind the better you will feel and I guarantee it! And don't even get me started on soda. Anyway, Matthew we all have our struggles, I certainly have mine (cheese!) so I hope you don't think I'm singling you out. I would be happy to give you more advice and/or suggestions if you want them. Feel free to PM me and I will be glad to share with you.
