It's time. Been putting it off for a while, but the "right" moment hasn't come with fireworks or a big arrow announcing itself. So I just picked a random day to knock out the carbs and sugar for a while. All I've been doing is gaining weight and enough is enough.
Also have noticed my portions are out of control, but first things first. Clean up my food habits, then if needed work on portions.
This was day three and I woke up famished! But a breakfast of yogurt/pecans/peaches did the trick and I lasted right til lunchtime without feeling hungry. Very different from yesterday when all I thought about was being hungry. So what I've read seems to be bearing out. It gets easier and my idea of "full" will adjust.
To be clear, this is not a diet. It is a reset. I can get on a jag of snacking, grabbing quick convenience foods and basically not paying attention to what I'm eating. This was fine in my 20s and 30s but now that I'm a woman of a certain age, what I eat shows up in how I look and more important, how I feel. Having tight cloths affects my body image--and if I go a size up, my wallet!
Starting this blog to keep track of things, try to stay aware of what I'm doing and discuss anything that pops into my head about how I feel about the body changes and other things that are coming with my second half-century.
I welcome comments that are not abusive, judgy or shaming. If you want to troll, you won't find an audience here.
Be nice.
