OK, first off... I don't want any of those 'accept yourself for who you are' posts. I am not fat, I am not obsessed with my weight, I simply want to get a little leaner and eat right. I have recently gained 5-7 lbs and it bugs me because 50% of my clothes don't fit now!! I have tried to lose it, and yes, I exercise regularly, but in the process I think I have gained weight. I know when you exercise you gain muscle and therefore weight... but that is not the case here. I think I eat WAY too many carbohydrates and believe that to be the real killer.
So.... I just want to ask if any of you are on a diet currently? It doesn't necesarily have to be a weight loss diet, but rather a healthy life style diet. I want to get back on track with cooking and eating right. I got lazy in that dept. over the last few months and am finding it hard to drop some bad habits... like over comsumption of sugars and carbs.
What has worked for you in the past? What should I really stay away from? Help me please I hate that full 'omigod I ate too much' feeling, and as well as 'that's all I get to eat for dinner'? feeling... Help me find middle ground. I have done weight watchers before and it's really good, but the whole concept of counting points, gets you really obsessed with every little thing you eat and I don't think that's too healthy. Plus I don't want to count point my whole life.
