Before and After - Food

nikkirosem

So, I was talking to my husband last night and we were talking about what we use to eat. I can tell you back in the day I use to stop by Burger King for Breakfast: 2 sausage egg and cheese croissanwiches, Orange juice and tots, for lunch I would ponder and go to McD's double quarter pounder with cheese, large fries and lemonade, for dinner I would make mac and cheese with hot dogs and for snacks I would have granola bars, frappes, donuts, etc...:sick:

Today I had an egg white omelet with turkey bacon, a glass of skim milk, for lunch a turkey taco salad with salsa and for dinner spaghetti squash with ground turkey and homemade marinara sauce.

What about you?

Minus the eggs, your "today" menu seems sooo much more appealing than that McDonald's one... (Eggs are my secret enemy)

Good job and great post!

BAGELS. My soft spot for food is bagels, I love love bagels, I would make myself breakfast sandwiches on a bagel, or have sugary cereal, eat fast food for lunch, make spaghetti or greasy tacos or eat out for dinner.... Now I have a special K bar in the morning with fruit, or an scrambled egg whites, I eat my left overs for lunch, or tuna with a tiny tiny bit of mayo, for dinner it's chicken and veggies, or flank steaks with veggies, veggies veggies veggies haha. I've never eaten so many veggies and fruits! I eat a serving size of peanuts for snacks, lots of water -- never drank so much water in my life lol. When I plugged in what I would normally eat and compared it to now it was a HUGE eye opener... There's no need for all of that!!!
Now, if I realllyyyy am craving it, I will limit myself to ONE bagel, ONCE in a while, not every week, etc.
Crazy huh!

I had a egg white with red pepper and onion and provolone cheese and english muffin (whole grain) my favorite....

Oh man, I used to be HOOKED on McDonalds Breakfast Burritos - most mornings would consist of that. Then ALWAYS fast food for lunch, and Hamburger Helper or more fast food for dinner. Anything I could get my hands on for snacks - chocolate, chips, cookies...not to mention the soda I would drink all day!

Now! I have cereal or eggs for breakfast, something like a turkey wrap and applesauce for lunch, and baked chicken and veggies for dinner. Fruit and Granola Bars for snacks and ONLY water to drink.

Hallelujiah!!

Hello my name is Susie and I am addicted to Starbucks....

I can't give it up, but I have gone from ordering a Venti Iced White Mocha (460 cal) to a Grande Skinny Caramel Macchiato (140 cal)

My hubby and I were pretty much living off of frozen pizzas, and my hubby's bean dip which we would consume with tortillas SMOTHERED in cheese. I was making a batch of cookie dough pretty much every week just to eat... no cookies were ever made, I just ate the dough (so yummy lol). But after realizing I had gained 21 pounds in 6 months (from my wedding in June to January), I knew something had to change... fast! Now I have chicken, yogurt, fruits, veggies, I'm learning how to cook fish so it's actually good... my diet has totally done a 180! I feel so much better, and look so much better. Isn't being healthy great!!

I used to eat lots of processed stuff, I wouldn't watch my sugar, and desserts were my down fall, desserts daily, multiple times a day, now when I shop I get one box of baked goodness, (usually ghiradelli dark chocolate brownie mix) and I can have brownies once every two weeks (I only grocery shop every two weeks)

and my portions are smaller...

those are my major changes.
