[QUOTE="Lil, post: 647523, member: 17309"] Well, giving up processed foods actually is something we could manage...at least in part. If we define "processed foods" as stuff with tons of additives and fillers, read the label and if it's unpronounceable it's processed; the boxed meals and such, white breads, etc. We aren't [I]too[/I] bad at that already. Bread and pasta is one of our biggies...and sweets, boy do we love our sweets...though other than toast with breakfast and the sandwich we had for lunch yesterday, we aren't eating that much bread. We could go back to a better quality whole grain. Generally if we're cooking, we do okay. The turkey sausage in our lunch today is probably not great, but tonight's chili is beans, tomatoes, ground sirloin...it isn't bad. More vegetables and meats, less bread, potatoes and pasta. But you know, I lost 40 lbs once on a diet my doctor put me on. The first thing he had me do was TRIPLE my carb intake! And I lost! I kept that off for over a year...then the fat food came back. They have stevia at the church. We could snitch a few packets to try...everyone there uses the sweet and low anyway. [B]Tess...You GO girl![/B] :D I think that's what really gets me about what I weigh now and how out of shape I am. Like you Tess, I've always been fat, more or less. But darnit it was less than 10 years ago I was 80 lbs LESS than I am now! This isn't my highest weight - I have 20 lbs to go for this to be my highest - but I REMEMBER feeling like you are feeling now. I REMEMBER being healthier. It felt SO GOOD. How did I let this happen again. :( [/QUOTE]
