any ideas for me on how to eat properly, I would appreciate it. :phanvan I have been trying all Protein only, like cheese, ricotta cheese , some chicken for dinner, Protein Shake for Breakfast, cheese for Snacks, then i go off, and have candy and blow it all. I don't get enough calories in, hence my body is rebelling. I need to discipline myself and do each day one day at a time, i am getting so frustrated, that I start out good, then as the day goes by, I get worse. Funny thing is, I am not hungry. I just need to pick, pick, pick, and can't get rid of these bad habits that got me fat in the first place. I was banded 3/05, lost 54 lbs, love the way I feel, but know i need to lose 30 more. I don't keep a food journal, because when you eat the same thing every day, why bother? For those of you who can eat Lean Cuisine, doesn't it come back up?:nono:

Hey roseann, great job on the 54 pounds lost. You go girl!!! I have seen best results when I keep a food journal, exercise journal, Water journal and weekly weigh in......All of these things are for accountability and I can see if I am putting all of the components together to make this thing work. If you are picking food allday, it is real easy to pick a couple of hundred caloires. Are you exercising?

I pick a lot, that is why the lean cuisine meals are working out well for me. It is helping me trememdously with doing a balanaced meal and Portion Control. The meats in lean cuisines are very tender. You need to chew extremely well no matter what you eat. As far as the rice, if I am having one of those days where it won't go down, I just won't eat it or I may have a meal with just meat and veggies or the meatloaf and potatoes...melts in your mouth and very few calories. You can't be afraid of all carbs all the time if you are doing low carb.

Hey Roseann! Welcome to the thread. I hope to see you posting your meals here as I find that it really, really helps me to stay on track. Here's my thing about eating right: Plan, Plan, Plan! If I PLAN my meals for the next day (and include calories) I will likely stick to it. I always have backup meals on hand. I cook up a big batch of healthy food, suck 'n seal it in portion-controlled sizes, and then write the calorie and Protein content on the outside of the bag so I know what I'm eating. When I'm ready to eat it, I'll pull it out of the freezer and boil it right in the bags for about 15 minutes. Voila! Food just as good as the day you made it!

You must be doing something right because you've lost 54 pounds, great job! So if you're looking at losing those last 30, girl, first I'd be getting my butt to the gym more often! If Curves gets you going then great! For me, Curves wasn't enough - I couldn't get a tough enough workout out of that place. But I bet your weight loss will take off again if you really crack down on the workouts.
