Been eating more fruit. Love grapes, they're easy to deal with. Take them and an apple in my lunch. Have noticed, while yeah, bananas are fattening, the sugar in a banana is natural sugar - not the processed stuff found, in even low-sugar homemade cookies. Have noticed, over the past two or three weeks, cookie cravings have lessened - could it be the fruit. They say, fruit juice - the real stuff - is full of calories. Still enjoy it, but less of it, and instead, drink more water. I understand, skinny people tend to drink lots of water (of course, skinny people tend to be control-freaks, and won't allow themselves to sit still, even for a minute...but that's beside the point).
Thankfully, was never big on pretzels and chips - they're insanely expensive, and specifically made to be addictive (A serving??...comeon, normal humans eat more than three pieces at a sitting). Anyway, pass that stuff by. Chocolate candy? Yeah, that's my drug of choice, but am tired of the heartburn side-effects. Haven't visited the candy aisle in weeks. While the finer chocolates don't do that as much, thankfully, am not willing to spend the extra money.
Sure haven't missed the "acid reflux disease," which is just a fancy term, for eating/drinking the wrong stuff. Slow and steady, because yo-yoing is a waste of time. Will be happy if i can lose, and keep lost, ten pounds - while certainly could stand to offload even ten more, besides ... still, just ten pounds, gone for good, and will be grateful for that.
Good for you! The healthy changes you're making will soon become habits.
ReplyDeleteYep, that's why i am taking things slow. Sure don't miss the heartburn.
