Loved your blog! (You have an adorable little one, too, "mama".)
I hate it, too, when people ask me about my "diet". It isn't a diet! I'm not giving anything up. I'm eating carbs, getting my protein, loving a variety of fruits and vegetables. There are no creams, elixirs, pills involved. Just me and my spoon/fork. And like you said...it's all about portion control.
I find when people have that "diet" mentality they seem to struggle more than those of us who have made the simple decision to just eat healthier and make better choices.
i said it before and i say it again, you got! you are embracing you new lifestyle and anne & i love it. this is your life and it does not matter what anyone else says, you are doing it for you and your family
This is not a diet, it is a healthy lifestyle! Way to put it out there. We need to make changes that we will be able to live with for the rest of our lives, not just until the weight is gone and then go back to how it was before.
Congratulations!
Your *friend* may just need more information on what a healthy lifestyle is all about.
