On 5/10/04, I made a few changes in the way I eat...

1) I gave up eating anything made with flour...from bread to noodles..if it had flour...I gave it up...ps...there are some really good noodles made with veges)

2) I stoped eating at 7 PM...and would break fast after 7 AM..giveing me 12 hours of zero food consumed...

I refuse to weigh my self (can sometimes lead to depression) and I can still tell I have made progress..

A) Either someone is NOW sneaking into my home and exchanging my pants and shorts for bigger ones....or the inches are starting to melt away.

B) I can now wear rings that had become too tight.

C) My daughter thinks I need to buy some clothes that fit....this part was very satisfying....

I doooooo miss bread and cakes....but I have started to crave different things..
apples....grapes...any kind of fresh fruit really.

These decissions are not cut into stone, I did have cake at my granddaughters birthday party, 1 slice, I didn't go back for seconds or even thirds.

Tomorrow is July 1st...and my next thing to give up will be anything that has been fried....so fried chicken will now be baked or grilled....no more potato chips...but these are little things...I can still have potatos...but cooked differently...So I don't feel deprived.

Yikes.... 7 PM will be here soon and I stil want to have some fresh watermellon with grapes for dessert.

Ok...here's a page with lots of Helpfull Hints...

And when you drink, it doesn't just have to be H²O Because of This article I have added alot more juices, some that I even juice myself, and re-introduced yougurt back into my life (eating some now)...A really good way to stave off hunger pains at night is Tomato juice... or even chocolate milk.

And instead of grousing about the lack of hints..
Why don't you get busy and pass along a few your self?

And here's another Helpfull site I liked.

I won't eat after 7 PM...and won't break-fast untill 7 AM... in just one week I can't believe how the weight is comeing off.
