    in How to break a bad habit Comment by faithful0609 November 2017
  • Great job!! I'm "back again".... I always think I'm eating healthy but really do not seem to grasp the portion control thing. So the scale was out this morning to weigh my food and get me back on track!!! Looking forward to trying to stick with it this time. Funny you do this for so long ... there is no 'blame" .... you…

I've spent decades being overweight because I have the mind set that I can eat whatever whenever.... then I wonder why I can't lose? So...

  • Stopped having 2 glasses of wine each night, logging everything in to see how many calories I'm eating, and also got a food scale. using measuring spoon and scale to eat "real" portions instead of eye balling the food.

  • thanks all! yesterday was a wash .. but today I've logged in everything and planned dinner. So I'm on track - I've fought my weight my whole life - so bad habits are going to die hard, but I have to be honest with myself and just do it. the only way I can lose weight is by knowing exactly what I'm putting into my mouth -…
