Losing weight is hard. About five months ago, I was the heaviest I've ever been (163 when a more normal weight for me is closer to 145, and my best is more like 130). I was just realizing that if I didn't change something soon I was only going to get heavier and was wondering what changes I needed to make when I learned I was pregnant, spent the next 2-3 months wallowing in morning sickness and lost about 13 pounds.<br /><br />Yup, that'll do it. I'm just now back up to 160.<br /><br />You sound like you're on the right track, and I think it's AWESOME how much you've already lost. I've always heard it takes at least 10 minutes for your brain to realize the stomach is saying it's full, so I've always found eating slower helps me with the portion control thing (but it's not always easy when you're working and/or chasing toddlers).<br /><br />Glad to hear you're not beating yourself up if a given day doesn't go exactly as planned in terms of diet/exercise. Life's too short for that.<br /><br />Good luck and I'll be following along!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
