ALSO I use this method in my calendar- every school play, every pto meet, dr appointment, work schedule, vacation, everything gets put on my master calendar along with who is babysitting and what's for every meal! my life is in a detailed book so I never miss a step.

when my mind "wants" to eat I go and workout! then I don't want anything!!! Avocados deliver almost 20 vitamins, minerals, and phytonutrients. They have good fats and fiber. Although high in calores a medium avocado is around 200 calories but the nutrition is good. So have half one day, the other half the next. Although SP is great as a virtual community for dieters, sometimes I feel like I need a face-to-face support from people who are going through the same thing. That's why an OA meeting is so great. Makes me want to be abstinent from harmful foods, so that I can brag about it at the next meeting! :) |
