Choices, choices, choices...

November 2008 again. You have to basically retrain your thinking so that what is harmful to you does not run you and what is good for you does not become irrelevant. Changing habits is very hard, especially if comfort is part of the bargain. What you take in as nutrition should be a pleasing part of the day but it shouldn't be imbalanced.

Breakfast now begins in various ways. A bowl of granola with low fat yogurt. Two servings of fruit with slice of 12 grain toast. Snacks in the morning is usually vegetables and in the afternoon it is most likely fruit. Lunch is usually the biggest meal of the day but it consists of at least two vegetables, a meat, and either fruit or something like that. I do eat dinner out every once in a while but I try to make certain it falls in the parameters of healthy or at least make an attempt not to eat too much of it. I take in lots of water.

The most amazing part of this process is that I now get full much quicker which means that I have to be very careful about what I take in. If it is not to be necessarily good for me, I either don't eat it or eat very small amounts. It has become apparent to me that the healthier I eat the more it takes to get me full. Odd though that is, it is the cornerstone of the intake part of my weight loss.

I officially weighed on a medical scale today and discovered I have lost an official 84 pounds. Don't forget October 30 will come real soon.
