I have been exercising (walking on a treadmill) since Aug 1, 5 days a week. With. out. fail. Hoping to lose weight. I have had several people who have been there and done it, tell me wait until the 6 month mark. "It will start melting off" Well, I have until March 1 to see, and I will continue, BUT it gets frustrating!! I have tried LOTS of diets and programs in the past. It seemed to me that common denominator with each program is burning more calories than you take it. I am out to prove to myself that IF I burn enough calories I can have all the freedom I need in the food dept. AND be happy. Is it better to be thin and miserable? NO. Not for me it isn't. Here is my "plan" 1 increase water intake (we have stopped buying soda for the house except for special occasions. BIG CHANGE for me) 2. get enough sleep (easier said than done in my home) 3. really listen to my body. If it is not asking for food do not feed it and if it is satisfied stop eating.
Make Every Day a Great Day!
