[QUOTE="JKF, post: 597478, member: 12470"] That's what we do at home too. It's not just about one of us wanting to lose weight - it's about a healthy lifestyle for [I]all[/I] of us. I [B]never[/B] buy chips or cookies or other junk because if it's there we'll eat it. I don't even buy granola bars and stuff like that because they're basically just empty calories. I keep a ton of fruits and veggies on hand and my younger son loves snacking on sliced cucumbers, cherry tomatoes, baby carrots, etc. For dessert I keep frozen yogurt and sliced fruit in the freezer and I also keep sugar free pudding cups in the fridge. I'm not saying that we [I][B]never[/B][/I] have treats - we just have them sparingly and in moderation. Like today, for example - after a LONG week for all of us, not only are we ordering pizza, but I also stopped at the local bakery and picked up some German chocolate brownies for us to have for dessert. An occasional special treat in moderation is perfectly fine in my opinion. The most important thing to remember is - it's not a "diet" - it's a lifestyle. As for exercise - I hate hate hate traditional exercise! With a passion. So instead, what I do, is I try to walk more. At work I walk to the farthest bathroom in the building instead of the one next to our office. At the store, I park all the way at the end of the lot. At home when I clean, I do a few trips up and down the stairs instead of just one, etc. Also, I like to put on music when I'm cooking and cleaning and I can't help but bust a move or two - hahaha. All of that activity adds up and I don't even realize I'm doing it. Little changes make a big difference and it takes time and dedication but I know you can do it!!! [/QUOTE]
