Everyone is the same...yet different. When it comes to weight loss knowing your body and what works for you is key. Your fellow member may be able to eat 3 servings of bread or potatoes a day and lose weight. Another member may be able to make an entire pan of brownies and just have one. Your friend may be able to eat 5 fruits a day and continue with an even weight loss. Some members get very little any activity and are still able to lose and/or maintain weight.
I am like none of those members. Looking sideways at bread or potatoes makes me gain weight. I would only make a pan of brownies if I had full intentions of eating the entire pan...in one day. If I eat grapes, watermelon or bananas my weight loss slows down. If I eat more than 2 fruits a day, my weight loss slows down. Oh, and let's not forget the 94 % fat free popcorn...it fattens me up nicely! If I don't walk at least 4 times a week I don't lose weight and if I don't exercise at all I gain weight even if my food intake is right on Plan. Fortunately, I can work some "treats" into my week and still lose weight.
Accepting "what is" in life, and in weight loss, is one
of my biggest breakthroughs.
I now know what works for me and have accepted
what it takes to get me where I want to go.
Have you?
