I had fast food today which I normally only get 2 or 3 times a month now that I live in Germany.I thought about ur blog when I sat down to eat and gave my husband some of my food and said no to the ranch for dipping sauce. Slowly I will make changes!Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11975784085879453110noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3126474537687051974.post-41838513224647880922009-10-16T12:22:22.992-05:002009-10-16T12:22:22.992-05:00Not surprisingly, I take different things away fro...Not surprisingly, I take different things away from different blogs. From yours, the very first thing I permanently took away was your steel curtain determination, which I am emulating. <br /><br />The next two things were techniques that I was sorely looking for in order to succeed long term: <br /><br />The first is the philosophy that nothing is off limits. Even though I am currently choosing not to have red vines licorice or potato chips, it is very comforting to know I can have them, and will have them sometime. I know for some people it works to totally give something up but I know that's not the answer for me.<br /><br />The second technique is how to eat at a restaurant. I can do great when the menu has a perfectly straightforward "light" choice. Where I run into trouble is when all the choices are the traditional "too much". I've always been troubled by the fact that I can't get an accurate calorie count on restaurant meals that aren't chains. But I've discovered that the technique of eating half really does work well. I'm still left with the nagging lack of a number to put on the meal but I am at least confident that it wasn't excessive. I don't eat out a lot, so I'm content with knowing it's the very best that I can do. I've eaten out about 5 times since July and not once has it thrown me off, this time around.<br /><br />Thanks, Sean!Bethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10950451908465207387noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3126474537687051974.post-86992057360818217952009-10-16T09:06:51.206-05:002009-10-16T09:06:51.206-05:00hey i have been listening to you interviews and re...hey i have been listening to you interviews and really finding them motivational, thanks!40 Somethinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02043211073677783970noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3126474537687051974.post-30129154681544214572009-10-16T08:44:42.953-05:002009-10-16T08:44:42.953-05:00Well, height does help!

In fact, she's been trying to get me on scales that only weigh up to 266lbs since I started losing weight in the middle of July at 349lbs! I laugh each time she asks and tell her I'm still too heavy and she keeps asking if I'm sure!Patsyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16237128259799260713noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3126474537687051974.post-11785544680708403382009-10-16T00:48:20.812-05:002009-10-16T00:48:20.812-05:00good on you for stickin' with it.

You seem to have the cravings under control. I enjoy your blog.Christinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13708815560712267698noreply@blogger.com
