How are you handling eating?

How are you handling eating....wow that's a loaded question. Its funny how sometimes we have to remind ourselves about our eating patterns. Are you carbing it too much? Feel like if you have another liquid beverage you are going to drown? Are you making sure that you are reaching your protein potential? We do need to be mindful of what we eat.....so today is the day guys. I am going to start paying closer attention to what goes in my mouth....join me! Debbie

I am right behind you. I have been eating too many carbs and sweets. I need to get back on track before I get too carried away. Today is the start of another try. Wish me luck. Ellen

I have started with baby steps...learning what is wrong and identifying it. I hope in a day or so to start taking away the bad and replacing it with good stuff. Today is another day and we can do it Debbie

I seem to do okay some days and then there are other days that I do terrible. I have alot of "family" issues with hubby....which is stressful and the way I dealt with it before was to eat. I am trying not to do that.....but on my monthly cycle boy is that a har one to defeat. I guess it will all work out. Christie

There are times I wish I was a man...but that ain't happening nor does my hubby want that too! LOL. Our hormones are a big problem. What does everyone else do around that time of the month to not over eat I wonder. Perhaps we should make it a post by itself and see what responses we get. Christie, keep your head up and focus on the important things......first and foremost is YOU! The other stuff is fluff and will work out. Take care. Debbie

I was up 5 pounds last weekend (sitting on my A$$ doing research and writing this stoopid paper is NOT helping!!). I got back to eating my protein first and cutting back on the carbs and I am down 3 pounds already. I am also pre-menstral (OH GOODY!!!) and extremely bloated. My hands looke like stuffed sausages! I can't wait till December when these research writing classes are OVER!!!!! I friggin hate writing!!!! I swear I will PAY someone to write my papers for me! Any takers? OK ***** session over. I gotta type up my notes from the weekend. Back to your regularly scheduled program....................

Sounds like you are doing the STRESS MONSTER thing with classes. Stuffed sausages...I haven't heard that in a long time. LOL. December is around the corner. I wish I could learn to like to write papers but they require facts and research.....Enjoy the day! Debbie

And I still beat myself up at the end of the day when I realize I've only eaten once, maybe twice. I have up'd my carbs/calories purposefully so I could maintain. But I know I'm getting to the end of my magic window and I am going to have to star****ching what I eat so I won't start gaining. It's time to start my food journal again I do believe. Gigee

Food journal it is! Get the pen and paper out! So when is the next nail fest? Debbie

Needs to be soon, my feet look a mess!
