exactly. My mentality now, which has helped me immensely is to make my calories count. So I try to keep the food I eat as healthy as I can and make sure that I have a good ratio of carbs and protein to help me keep full and try to pick good carbs and proteins. Lean meats, whole wheat, brown rice, potatoes on occasion. I went on and off a lot because I kept making mistakes but now I feel a lot better with the way things are going. I'm enjoying the food i'm eating and feel fufilled. My husband eats the food I eat and loves it too so I feel accomplished that he is getting healthy also(The man has a crazy high metabolism though so hes always skinny even at 52, the jerk lol) and it just makes things much easier. if your looking for good recipe ideas let me know! Cooking is my passion.
