It has been my lifesaver. Also I can have fruit, especially berries which if you need a sweet are great. Good Luck! You can do it!Sabine Berlinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06862653993925899285noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6992446870845669635.post-6359724168782412072011-05-12T12:06:39.613-07:002011-05-12T12:06:39.613-07:00Tristi,
I'm on the journey with you and wante...Tristi,<br /><br />I'm on the journey with you and wanted to let you know about a great book called "The Beck Diet Solution" by Judith S. Beck. It's NOT a diet, but rather, helps with all the messy psychology that we deal with when we DECIDE to diet. It's cognitive behavioral therapy in a little pink book and it's wonderful! Six weeks of day by day activities and assignments designed to change your attitude to one of a "thin" person" and take the emphasis off of turning to food to make you feel good. It's become an invaluable tool in my own personal journey!<br /><br />Cheers to you!<br /><br />Christy B.Christy B.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6992446870845669635.post-89009559681200292132011-05-12T10:44:04.543-07:002011-05-12T10:44:04.543-07:00Right there with you, friend.

He was diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes and has managed to lose enough weight to get off his medication! So, I'll follow along with your journey!Whithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08433021981669593390noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6992446870845669635.post-17748302906282641222011-05-12T10:36:18.213-07:002011-05-12T10:36:18.213-07:00Losing weight has never been about some crash diet...Losing weight has never been about some crash diet. It's about eating less (especially the junk) and moving more. The phrase "Eat to live, don't live to eat" finally means something to me.<br /><br />I managed to have 5 kids and only be about 10-15 lbs higher than my ideal weight for my height. But when I started really bucking down on my writing career, I gained 40 lbs in 3 years. I'm so mad at myself. But that doesn't solve anything.<br /><br />Last week, I told the kids I'm going to walk every day at 4pm. Aside from the days we go to clean the church--when I really work up a sweat--I've been doing pretty well. I'm also really watching my grains. I think I generally double the recommended daily allowance in that particular section of the food pyramid.<br /><br />It's a lifestyle change--getting rid of the bad habits and focusing more on whole body well-being than on weight or size. And I'm wishing you all the good luck the world has to offer.Cheri Chesleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03102570290810616371noreply@blogger.com
