What a difference 9 pounds will make! It has been one month since I began this new eating lifestyle and I can already see and feel a difference. It feels good! Keeping up with these new eating habits hasn't been easy though. There were a few days I didn't count fat grams or calories, but to be honest, I believe those "cheat" days are necessary, and as long as the portions are within a normal single serving size and your not going back for thirds, it will be okay. Denying every craving (especially during a certain important time of the month for women) has in my experience only lead to a midnight madness of binging with such a guilty and disgusted feeling afterward. I don't like that feeling.
One thing that has helped me is to snack on a fruit before I eat something that I know isn't so healthy and high in fat. Also, I eat S L O W E R. When I take my time eating it feels as though my stomach gets full quicker, but what I think is happening is that I am allowing my stomach to gauge its fullness rather than allowing my nose, eyes and mouth to do that job. I have learned they know nothing about keeping my stomach happy.
