In reply to would like support for losing weight!, posted by JenStar on August 11, 2004, at 2:36:08
boy oh boy can i relate.
i do have one piece of advice...ok, two.
#1, losing weight is mostly changing your lifes routine. which means it doesn't come quickly (which means DON"T be hard on yourself). and take one step at a time.
#2 I think your best first step would be to add the amount of water you should be drinking every day. they say to drink 1/2 your body weight in oz. every day. So say you weigh 150lbs you should drink 75oz. of water or more.
**tip: many times when people munch or feel a little hungry their body is actually dehydrated and craving water.
This is a lifestyle change. (it also helps to lower your caffine intake -this is a diuretic(sp?) which means it flushes your system leaving you more dehydrated. Keep in mind by the time you feel thirsty your body is Already dehydrated.I noticed when i cut out pop from my life and started drinking Lots of water other things seemed more and more sweet, so even if i craved sugar it didn't take as much to quench that suger high. this helps lessen carb intake. Also, maybe reach for natural sugars. Grapes and watermelon are Great this time of year!
and don't punish yourself, eat those mcnuggets-just not everyday, and maybe just don't eat all of them?
All in proportionJust please be good to yourself, take your time. Love who you are. We Do ;^)
