I Just Realized Something...

While in the kitchen preparing my food for the day, it dawned on me - Child, you are enjoying this advanced preparation of your meals!

I have stuff mapped out...and making sure that I fix protein-rich foods for at least 2 of those meals (preferably breakfast and lunch).

It was my prayer that my mindset would change and that I would welcome back the bariatric way of eating...which I have.

Have not feened for any fried foods (although, I did treat myself to a cookie yesterday, dammit!); and I am eating mostly fruits and vegetables.

It's all about mindset...change in attitude...and I'm getting it...AGAIN!

Oh...and most importantly - I AM MORE INTENTIONAL ABOUT GETTING IN ALL THE WATER, VITAMINS, ETC.

Nate - you's a nut! But, I just glanced over at them a few minutes ago...they are so beautiful!   told you and FB yesterday that "I'll never tell.." but you just had to let it out, didn't you!?

Rock on my sister! Rock on!

I totally agree Donna,
for the past couple of months I have enjoyed mapping out and preparing my meals. For 1 it doesn't take much time, but just knowing that I am FINALLY eating the right foods is a joy in itself.

I didn't realize how much I was enjoying it until this week when moms went into the hospital. Between dealing with that and next weeks move, I was thrown off kilter and have been eating on the run. I am SICK of Kentucky grilled chickenand I've had great difficulty with getting the water in. I was just saying on yesterday that I can't WAIT to get this move over with so that I can go back to planning and preparing. I regret not thinking of a back up plan, but I will in the future.

I am WITH you on this!!!  I spend 20 minutes EVERY morning on mydailyplate mapping out my food.  i allow myself to change it up during the day IF I want to - but having it already queued up helps me stay on track for REAL!!!!!
