You know the BLT's...bites..licks..tastes... That is what needs to get under control. I do a great job during the day, especially when I'm at work. When I'm at home I take a bite of Josh's cereal, a lick of the ice cream I dish up for the girls, a taste of the fried potatoes (cooked in oil and butter). Those all add up to an enormous amount of calories that I wouldn't even begin to know how to calculate. And the BLT's seem to end up on my hips and a$$.
That's my goal this week. To reduce those. I would like to say eliminate. Can I do that? I feel like if eliminate is my goal then I will fail. I feel like if reduce is my goal I will succeed. And I need to feel successful. I always feel like such a loser in weight loss. I try one thing, it doesn't work. I try another. It doesn't work. I've been trying diets since about the 5th grade in all honesty.
I remember my first diet. I was in the 5th grade, so about 10 yrs old. I was a chubby girl. It was a 7 day diet. I don't remember all the details but I do remember one day you ate nothing but melon, one day bananas and skim milk, each day was a different food. And so it began. The search for diet success. I remember trying the OHSU diet; I don't remember much about it but you ate a ridiculous amount of chicken for dinner and a can of tuna fish and carrots. It was gross. That didn't work either.
I have to find what works for me, consuming fewer calories and exercise. And those of us that struggle with weight loss are always looking for the solution. So I don't know if I will ever post what I eat. I always feel like I should copy to a T what a successful weight-loss person did and when I don't I'm a failure. I don't want anyone reading this to ever feel like a failure.
