I think that I really had the wrong attitude about all of this. How could I feel like a failure when I lost 25 lbs?? It seems crazy to me, now. I really did myself a disservice by not realizing what I had achieved and just kept going. I can see this now, but I couldn't back then.
2 years ago, I felt like I was on a diet. Now, I know that I am making a complete lifestyle change! This is not ever going to end. If I want to be healthy and strong and live a full and complete life, I have to change things for good. I can never go back to the old me with the bad attitude.
Anyway, I wanted to record how I ate back then when I was doing so well losing weight. I never really counted calories. I just didn't have the time or desire. I pretty much ate the same thing every day. This helped a lot! Giving me choices was not a good thing. I would end up eating so much more.
Breakfast
a container of light yogurt with 1/4 cup granola
or
1 serving oatmeal with splenda
Morning Snack
apple or banana
Lunch
turkey sandwich on low calorie bread with mustard and as many veggies as available (lettuce, tomato, red onion, cucumber, etc.)
single serving bag of baked chips
diet dr. pepper
Afternoon Snack
pria bar (my chocolate for the day)
Dinner
green salad with low calorie salad dressing
meat (baked chicken, pork roast, fish, etc)
steamed veggies or 1/2 sweet potato
*I never had any carbs with dinner.
Night Snack
low-calorie kettle corn, single serving package
sugar free chocolate pudding with fat free cool whip
*If I was still hungry after having one snack, I would just go to bed.
Also, if I was ever hungry during the day, I would just eat another apple.
How do you eat to lose weight? What works for you?
