South Beach Diet

I hate to admit it but I am still far from my goal. I would like to lose about 100 pounds more. I am not exactly sure because I have not been a normal weight since I had my oldest. I have had 5 babies so I don’t exactly know what my body will do. I got real hung up on that in the past so this time I am just taking it about 20 pounds at a time. I can decide at the end of each 20 pounds what I want to do. The first few are easy descisions. When I get below 200 then I will have to think more. I was a size 14. So 14 -16 is my goal. Right now all my clothes are lose. I am not exactly sure what size. I started out as a 24.

I am sorry about your husband. I would just fix foods that I could eat and then work to be strong enough to add stuff that he will eat too. I sometimes fix the carbs that don’t sound good to me. How old are your other children? Mine range in age from 17 to 6. But the food looks pretty normal. Not like when I tried to be a vegan. LOL

I try to guide my kids but, my husband can make his own choices. I figure that is fare since he does not tell me how to eat when I have so much weight to lose.

keep it up. I am hopeful that we can learn to eat better. I just want to know that It will someday be a habit. It seems to be going in that direction.

thanks for your encouragement too.

Thanks Pam. I do know that this is a great plan.. I just have to figure it out and get my head wrapped around it.

40 lbs in 4 months is great! How close are you to goal? Naturally, I’d like a 20 lb loss really quickly, then I’d be ecstatic with a 10 lb/mo average, even totally satisfied with 5 lbs/mo.

My kids will pretty much eat what I fix.. the DH is a totally different story. He demands white food, and hardly eats vegetables at all. The only time I see him eat fruit is from a can. For him, it’s sorta like I’m trying to TELL him what to do, so he’s going to do just the opposite. You’d think he look around and see his family members in poor health and dying too early and decide that … since he has a 4 month old, he should work really hard at getting healthy. He thinks no one cooks like his mother and sister, who are great Southern, Georgia cooks.

Thanks for the encouragement!! You’re Awesome!!!
