Changes are so-so
Not doing as good as I need to be with only eating when I'm hungry and then eating slow. I haven't been horrible, but not the best either. I'm doing better with water but not as good as I should be. I walked 5 miles on Monday. Couldn't walk or bend on Tuesday and Wednesday. LOL. Have to get out there again. So, not great news but not horrible either. I'm determined to make this work!!!!!!!

Changes are Good
Things are going good. I didn't lose any weight this week but I didn't gain any either. There are a couple of things I need to add to the Weigh Down. I need to drink more water. Also, I need to try a little harder not to eat more than being satisfied at dinner. Because I eat only a little bit through the day when I have "true hunger", I tend to over do it a little at dinner. I did better tonight. I only had 2 pieces of pizza and I ate them slowly. I wanted more, but because I was satisfied, I didn't do it. Anyway, I am relieved to be on this way of eating again. To not have anything that I "can't have" is such a great thing. Also, my hubby signed me up for the Breast Cancer 3 day walk in October today. I have been wanting to sign up since January. So, that will motivate me to get out there and walk. I'm so excited about that! And he got me some new shoes last week. They are the Curves shoes and so far they are really comfortable. Anyway, things are going really good. Hope they stay that way.

Changes
After a long talk with hubby, and several frustrating weeks, I am changing from the Low Carb Way of Life to the Weigh Down Workshop. I believe the Low Carb Way is good for many people and I do not discourage. Yet, I feel that there is a better way for me. The Weigh Down Workshop is a christian based program by Gwen Shamblin. It has helped me in the past. I had lost quite a bit of weight on it until my mom passed away. I went back to binging and using food emotionally. Basically the program teaches you how to recognize true hunger in your physical body. Not emotional hunger, but true physical hunger. It also teaches you how to eat slow so that your body has time to recognize the full feeling before it is stuffed. I enjoy this program because I do not feel deprived. I am able to eat anything I want to and even have my Dr. Peppers. She talks in length about how all foods have the nutrients that we need. I am excited to see the results in the next couple of weeks. I have been on this Way of Eating for three days now. My first day, although I waited for true hunger, I was rushed both times I ate. The next day, I did much better. I start to view food differently. We ate at McDonalds and instead of having my double quarter pounder with cheese, I had one of their 99 cent double cheeseburgers and didn't finish it. I had a few fries, but I ate them one at a time and slowly. I feel relieved to be able to go back to this. I'm not deprived at all and I know that I'm going to lose weight.
