[QUOTE="AnnieO, post: 551744, member: 6705"] As Garfield put it: Diet is DIE with a T. I have actually never truly [I]dieted[/I] in my life. My weight's done some up-and-down. When I married XH I weighed 125. When he and I moved to OK 2 years later: 144. When I came back 7 months after that: 95. I'd have been a great Halloween decoration. I looked like a cadaver. 2 years after that, when I met husband, I was at 135. When we married, 140... Then we hit a rough patch in 2009 and I dropped to 110. Hormone injections, etc. and when I got preggers with Bean, 154 - and I am 188 now. After I have Bean, I am going to work toward 135-140 again. It was a good balance for me at 5'3". I figure I'll be at about 175-180 when I deliver, and it will take a while as I will be nursing. However, something to keep in mind: a Wendy's SINGLE cheeseburger is about 2 portions. The meat, about 1.5 - the bread - OMG. Add in all the other stuff (cheese, fries)... Yeah. Something I love is fiber. Unsalted Triscuits, unsweetened oatmeal with fruit, apples and oranges, green leafy veggies - all have vitamins and are good for you. One of my favorite snacks is unsweetened Raisin Bran. I love dry cereal. A 6-oz steak may look small, but it's MORE than enough; a small baked potato WITH the skin and minimal toppings is awesome. Diet soda is your enemy - the false sweetener tricks your tastebuds into telling the brain you're getting calories when you're not, which will make you MORE hungry. Normal soda is not a friend either, because you get SUGAR but no nutrition - your body stores that sugar as FAT because it wanted REAL FOOD. Lisa's serious about portion sizes. Most of us cannot imagine being able to eat an entire 5-course meal - because we don't "get" that, in a 5-course meal with wines and sorbet, the portions are what we think of as TINY. Unless you [I]require[/I] the calories (marathoner, farmhand, etc.)... Cut back on portion sizes slowly - and watch your body shrink, too. :bigsmile: [/QUOTE]
