Believe me, it is no bother and also how would I cut my hair… it’s not a job for when I’m sober!<br /><br />Water? I heard about that before, that’s a liquid right? If my memory is right, something that has no flavour or color? Why would sane people drink that? Before you comment on that, YES I consider myself in the sane-ish group!<br /><br />Seriously, I think I failed before because mentally I was not ready. I’m telling you, it has been over 3 weeks now and I changed 180 degree. Before I was focusing on exercise so that I could eat what I want (which was mostly in the wrong type of food). This time, I eat right and I don’t think about eating anymore. Big difference! Like before I would miss eating cakes, now I don’t even miss it. My birthday was a few weeks ago and I didn’t have nor wanted cake. Before leaving Florida to came back in this hell, I had a box of ding dong in the cupboard, I through them out, I rather it end up in a landfill somewhere than filling up my over-size waist line.<br /><br />It’s not to say I’m cutting off everything and that I’m only eating seed right now. But I’m so happy with the choices I’m making that it over-compensate for the craving that I could have had.<br /><br />I’m really surprise, it is so easy right now, I’m not on a diet, I don’t count calories, I only eat when I’m hungry until I’m full. I had French fries and one time chips, but in portion that had satisfied me. I had absolutely no dessert and to me who was used to eat dessert twice a day, it’s just amazing.<br /><br />I can't fell off the wagon, I'm not on one LOL <br />Richardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08738870796987568040noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7722328780372613592.post-28172356810376287062015-02-24T14:36:03.692-05:002015-02-24T14:36:03.692-05:00What about lunch and breakfast?

Deciding to cut it out is probably the healthier choice. ;)<br /><br />- WWEJulie Marcouxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14496019793773424315noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7722328780372613592.post-72481607335127326372015-02-24T12:34:31.786-05:002015-02-24T12:34:31.786-05:00It's a good initiative :-) Alcohol is fine on...It's a good initiative :-) Alcohol is fine once in a while but if you ever take the time to see what happens in your body when it tries to metabolize alcohol, you might be put off of it forever. Once you're off of it for 3 (or even one) month, you might find you won't bother having it again. Or you might have it and find yourself thinking that you've had one glass and you don't want anymore. <br /><br />I think it's great that you're trying to be healthier. I think good health is the one thing so many people take for granted (I did for so many years), but once it's not so good, it's the biggest thing you'll regret not having protected. I just have a few tips/strategies you might want to consider:<br /><br />- Don't look at it as a diet or a short term thing. Make one healthy lifestyle choice each week. Let it become a habit. Incorporate a new change (however big or small it is) each week. <br /><br />- Water, water, water. Have at least 2 litres of water each day. If you think you can't do it, estimate roughly how many cups you drink each day. 2 litres = 8 cups. You could make your weekly goal your current cups in a day plus one, for example. You'll find that once you start drinking water, to get your 2 daily litres isn't that difficult.<br /><br />- Unless there's a specific reason (like not being able to stop at 1 glass of wine), try not to cut yourself off all indulgences as once. When we do this, after a certain amount of time, you might find yourself overdoing it one day on that particular item. If something is just uncontrollable for you, get rid of it from your sight, your reach, your life until you can gain more control over it than it having control over you. I have a food addiction. Having food in my cupboards/fridge at times is a difficult thing. The key is to keep the bad stuff away because if it ends up that I can see it, I will eventually eat it. A nice cake with fluffy icing from the Loblaws bakery should not sit out or it will go bad. I don't know how often I've tried to save a poor cake from going bad. :-P<br /><br />- Just remember, if you do happen to fall off the wagon, don't be hard on yourself for it. Pick yourself up and get back on the wagon. Don't throw all your efforts away because of one fall - we're only human.<br /><br />Now, if this comment disappears and doesn't post, you'll hear me scream. Oh wait, that'll make me cough. OK, you'll just hear me whine :-PElainehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09490579564944058705noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7722328780372613592.post-51344117649309875172015-02-24T10:06:15.002-05:002015-02-24T10:06:15.002-05:00Great post!
