A few reminders today:
1. DRINK your water - all of it! Fat that is dissolving and being pulled at the cellular level due to the HCG and diet WILL RECONSTITUTE as fat EVERY 24 hours if not flushed out. We MUST help ourselves - even when on maintenance. I know getting all that water in can be a nuisance, but it is at the top of the list for your overall weight loss.
2. Don't get stuck in a rut - try new recipes - watch the number of times you eat out in a week - sugar is hidden everywhere. :) Vary your food colors on your plate and don't forget the fruit. I know the selection gets skinny in the winter, but we are reconditioning ourselves to see food as refueling and NOT PLEASURE. Food only "sedates and comforts" for an hour. Then, you are forced to look at your issue again AND deal with the guilt of wrong food choices. OH YES - did that for many years.
3. Commit to send someone how much you are loosing or maintaining on a daily basis - weighing daily is also essential. I spoke with someone yesterday who said they, "fell off the wagon and had gained 5 pounds in one week." I told her that our clothes don't really reflect weight gain until about TEN pounds - YIKES! Stick with the program. The scales don't lie. I have called my scales every ugly name I could think of, but they only reported what I HAD STUCK IN MY MOUTH AND DIDN'T WANT TO ACCEPT. Help me! :)
Paulette sent a good recipe that was a family tradition she modified. Sounds yummy:
I made some salmon patties with red onion, oats, almond flour, egg and seasoning (oats can be optional) ...fried on non stick pan...awesome no carbs or sugar in can salmon...my father used to make them for us on the weekends growing up but he would use flour...so thankful I can enjoy this treat with healthier choices (smile)
I would like everyone to read Psalm 118: 1-17 sometime today. And when it speaks of nations, I want you to see the temptation to quit, give up, cheat, make a wrong declaration "I knew this would never work for me." Whatever you need to insert - do it. And say out loud - "I CUT THEM OFF." Your health is critical and no one BUT YOU can really make that stand. Our families deserve for us to fight. I bring you a word of encouragement today - stand up and keep fighting! Get back to your feet as you read this psalm and fight for your future.
Choose life and eat to live - PK
