Lets talk "Words"

What you say to me sometimes is not always the greatest.

Lets think!

Wow! Don't you think you have lost enough?! I think you are loosing to fast!

I never knew you were that big!

Are you eating?

How can we change this, so it doesn't sound like this.

Please be supportive of me loosing weight. I have a husband making sure I am eating and healthy as I am working my butt off to do what is best for me and my family. 

I have a goal to hit. That would be the number of 160.

Do you think that is low enough or not?

Does it matter?

Maybe I want to go lower.

My BMI weight should be 125, What would one say to me then?

How much should be lost in a week?

Do you have any idea what is safe?

I been stuck between 174 & 176 for the last 2 weeks, is that bad?

No it isn't. My body is adjusting to all the changes that are taking place. I am allowed to gain and loose. I am allowed to loose up to 2 pounds a week and be safe.

Well I guess if I felt "that BIG", I am changing things now.

I love to eat so YES I am eating! Don't you think Shane would say something if I wasn't.

Maybe if I had all kinds of bone sticking out then maybe you can question me.

When people say those things to me I start to wonder if they are jealous.

Is that wrong that I start to think that?

NOPE! 

Continue I makes me feel better now.

When Someone is loosing weight and you are close with them, Maybe tell them something you notice.

I love when someone says to me, Wow! your face looks skinnier.

My husband says the greatest things ever.

When he told me today how Proud he was of me and that a year ago I could never have pulled this outfit off. THAT MADE ME FEEL GREAT!

Dieting?

I am not dieting, I am changing me!

Foods, What food are you? 

Do you realize they put so much stuff in food? 

Do you know what is in your food?

Why add colors to your food?

Can you say the ingredients in your food?

Well lots of questions. Check your food over. Just cutting out all the additives to the food can drop pounds. 

Most people eat the fat free food or Low fat. If you look at how it is made; you might not want to eat it. Most of the time the sugars are a chemical based sugar (man made) and it is more addictive. This is why you eat more or gain weight. The "fake" sugars make you want more.

Colors, do you see that your food doesn't look like the natural food? Red 40 is in all kinds of food, even Cheese, like Colby.

Because of our son and my ADHD we have cut out 99% of food dyes. I feel different and you can see the difference in our son when he has it. I researched about 2 years before fully understanding. I do my best to either make the food or look at ingredients. Rethink the colors of your food. Mac and Cheese in the box use to be no dyes and then went to the dyes because it is more appealing to look at, in turn makes us eat more.

Kind of crazy the way it works but, hey that is what they do. 

There are other ways to get coloring for food, even to dye eggs for Easter. Food in the natural state can make some pretty great colors. You boil and strain the food, and BAM you have natural food coloring.

Making sure you are aware of the ingredients going into your mouth will help with any kind of weight loss.

I think if you care enough you will allow for extra time. People say it takes so much time and money. YES it does take time but everything GREAT takes time. You might pay a little extra now but if you eat less and have less medical issues you will actually save money.

One pound at a time, one day at a time and one food at a time.

Don't change everything at once, Change one thing every 2 weeks and it will make the transition much easier.

Have to think about what you buy and eat. Once you catch on, things get much easier. So just don't give up, you will feel much better in the end. Every day is new and Every Day I start over. I have to have those days I eat what I am craving, but I make sure I really want it. Eat or drink it slowly and be done when you are not sitting there wanting so bad anymore. 

My Saying for myself is  

"Never say no just go Slow!"

 what I am saying is, I don't tell myself I can't have because I will only want more. I just say eat it slow and I usually don't even eat the whole thing.
