I should start with the fact that I have to provide food and cooking for a 15 year old vegetarian that still lives at home. I wish I had her resolve. But I love meat. My 2nd daughter is a Vegan and she's a wonderful source of information since she's a registered dietician. But I don't take all of her advice....why? I'm a glutton. I'm working on it.
I will not fail anymore. That's it. It's just a decision. So I have to look at all the things I want, like, have failed at, figure out where I went wrong, and make a plan.
To start... I HATE measuring food. I HATE writing food down. I like to take pictures of food and I love Facebook. So the closest thing I'm coming to staying accountable is taking pictures of the good food and planning for the good food.
In the past I lost weight when I stopped eating.... OMG... in no particular order...
Soda, ice cream, candy bars, fast food, pasta, bread, cheese....and did I say CHEESE!!!!
So that's the mistake that I will correct.
I tried Weight watchers because supposedly I can have all of that. BUT... Sorry...too close to the whole weighing and measuring thing and too complicated.
What I am good at:
MY FITBIT. I love it. I am always in a lot of challenges. I wish at least 1-3 challenges per week. I won 4 once and never won all 5 in a week. So I'm using my fitbit and my step goals and challenges.
Some how I'm going to set daily, mid weekly, WEEDAY goals, and 7 day goals. I will assign the foods I like to these goals and only when I reach these goals do I get these foods. Now I just have to figure out what the goals and rules are and try not to make it more complicated than Weight Watchers. I mean what would be the point?!
The only thing I have set so far is the cheese goal. I have to walk 25,000 steps in one day for cheese. I won't eat it until I have reached the goal and I'm not measuring :)
