Elicia asked me to post my plan, so here it is. I'm going to do what has worked for me in the past.
- I'm going to "automate" my breakfast and lunch. That means high protein, low sugar cereal and low fat milk for breakfast. A smoothie for a mid morning snack, and a ham and cheese sandwich on whole wheat bread with carrot or celery sticks for lunch.
- I'm going to keep my water bottle filled and in front of me throughout the day.
- I'm going to walk EARLY in the day, not put it off.
- I'm going to start grocery shopping, menu planning, and cooking dinner again. NO MORE deli, takeout, pizza, and eating out ALL week long.
That's my plan for now. I'll do that for two weeks and then reevaluate things. If that isn't working, I'll start journaling. If I do those four things I know I will lose weight. It's basic biology. I know exactly why I've gained the weight too.
Why is it so hard to do? Just knowing what will work doesn't make doing it easy.
