HELP! KEEP GAINING

amy19355

I find it helpful to look at the progress chart in one or two month chunks of time.
This allows me to see that while my current weight is less than my starting weight, the line is not straight down, it is up and down, up a little and down a little more, up again then down again , but always more down than up.

SLow and steady wins this race.

You might considering adding raw veggies and fruits when you're hungry. A large salad rarely gets past 200 calories and absolutely blasts the hunger. Remember, digestion starts in the mouth and chewing foods for a long time is part of the satisfaction.

1/2 head of iceburg
2 handfuls of spinach
1 heart of romaine
1 cucumber
2 roma tomatoes
1 large carrot shredded
1 green bell pepper
1 red bell pepper

If you're used to topping your salad with dressing, instead try fruit, nuts, or seeds to give it more flare. Try sliced strawberries or apples, dried cranberries or raisins, slivered almonds or chopped pecans, and sunflower or pumpkin seeds. These will all add some calories, but they are all good and healthy calories. And, guaranteed, you eat that salad with a couple of these toppings and you'll be full for hours and hours.

That would not keep me full for hours and hours.

For those calories I'd rather have a mini bagel and something with some fat content.
