those 100 calorie packs sometimes are a little too convenient for me.
but they are good and make for a good "treat" while trying to be healthy overall

I need help on curbing my sweet tooth, the dentist wont pull it so....
I'm not what is considered obese (my BMI is borderline obese I'm 5'3" 166lbs) I don't look my wieght, or that's what people are nice enough to say. My weight is in my tummy area, more on one occasion I've been asked "are you pregnant?" "how far along are you?" "when are you due?". I had one aquaintence who patted my tummy and said, "hey looks like you're putting on a few." SIGH I always feel like crying when these things happen.
I hate veggies, the taste blech, some fruits are ok, but it has to be fresh ripe fruit (or canned), it can't be in a bar or a sauce.
I sneak sweets when no one's around, thinking if no one sees me then it doesn't count. I know that is silly. I know it really does count.
I enjoy eating, I eat past satisfaction because I love the taste. I'll eat something when I am not hungry so that I can taste it, and I won't stop at one nibble, I feel like I have to have a whole serving. ugh, it feels degrading that the "fat girl" can't control herself. |
i am not a big veggies fan either, and don't worry about not liking fruit because it is loaded with sugar. have you tried eating slower and savoring each bite? if you eat slower your brain will be better at telling your body you are full, whereas if you eat fast your brain doesn't signal your body that you are full until long after you have eaten past that full point.
