Ah, yes, most people who know me probably don't know I have this problem. I know I am one of many who does. I am overweight but not terribly. I'd like to lose 30 pounds. I've been up and down. My highest weight when not pregnant was 218lbs. (I'm 5'8") I got all the way down to 179lbs and am now up 10lbs to 189lbs. My pants are tight. I am feeling yucky. The problem? Too much of a good thing. I love sweets. I love to bake. You put those two together and it is not a good situation!
I am an emotional eater as well. Happy? Eat. Sad? Eat. Stressed? Lots of eating. I think you get the picture. I've prayed fervently over this for some time now and I am hoping that this online journal will keep me motivated. I've used sparkpeople.com in the past with good success. I just hate counting calories. And my family genetics make it hard to lose but easy to gain. Wouldn't it be so much nicer if that were reversed?!
Anyway, I am changing my eating habits and continuing my exercising and keeping track of what I am doing in the hopes that with this and God's help, my eating sweets will be under control.
My goals:
1. Half my plate is veggies.
2. No second helpings!
3. One-two small sweets a day. (I can't go cold turkey, ya know!)
4. Exercise at least 20-30 minutes at least 5 days a week.
I'm gonna start there and see how it goes!
