I think portion size is a big thing, and it's important to get lots of veggies, but I dont 'disallow' sugars at all. I just limit the types (sort of... like purchased cookies vs. homemade oatmeal ones). And exercise. Important.<br /><br />Good luck on your diet!Sabhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06366504500666420418noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4808385982365935675.post-5067661132919501242010-05-16T22:49:48.695-06:002010-05-16T22:49:48.695-06:00Do I diet???

I could probably polish off a whole bag with mindless eating. So I don't buy chips, EVER. When I do have a serious salt craving (about once a month), I go out, buy a single sized bag of my favorite chips, eat the whole thing, and I'm satisfied. <br /><br />Same with chocolate. I have one really good quality bar that I might occasionally buy. I limit myself to two small squares a night after dinner, and I'm done. Cookies? One, straight from the oven when it's all gooey and delicious. Then I put the rest in the freezer. <br /><br />Life is too short not to enjoy the foods you love. At dinner I load up on veggies, and everything we eat is from scratch. Sometimes I'll use a smaller plate to keep my portions down. I also have lots of healthy snacks in the fridge, like yogurt, hummus and crackers, veggies, and fruit. <br /><br />My weakness is evening eating. I do have to watch that one. :) And yes, I admit I'm not the best at exercising. I want to rectify that in the summer when I have time off work.Scatteredmomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07605640876979580340noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4808385982365935675.post-17668525879763497662010-05-14T19:36:03.055-06:002010-05-14T19:36:03.055-06:00Since I'm a white female of a particular age l...Since I'm a white female of a particular age living in North America, I have a certain amount of body loathing, but instead of trying to diet and exercise it away, I try not to assign a value to my body's size. The link between size and health is tenuous at best. If I'm fat, I'm fat - just like I have blue eyes. My size doesn't mean I'm lazy or a bad person or what have you - it just means I wear a certain size of pants.<br /><br />I'm pretty sure you're not down with bad language, otherwise I'd point you towards Kate Harding's Shapely Prose - the place I first learned about the Fat Acceptance/Health at Any Size movement. She does tend to swear like a sailor, though, so... y'know.camillehttp://www.brokenrecord.ca/foodblognoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4808385982365935675.post-70938404310550027752010-05-14T14:31:48.405-06:002010-05-14T14:31:48.405-06:00I feel that the key to good health is to have the ...I feel that the key to good health is to have the things you love in moderation. If you totally love sugar, and you don't allow yourself any at all, you may end up craving it even more and then binging when you cave. <br /><br />I think you're right in practicing portion control. I don't think there is anything wrong with a small dessert once or twice a week - or on holidays or birthdays. As with everything else, moderation is the key.<br /><br />I, personally, have had a sugar addiction, so I have pulled away from the sugar as much as possible, but I do allow myself something small on special occasions. What I've found happening is that my body can no longer tolerate large amounts of sugar. It makes me sick, which helps me not to eat as much.<br /><br />As for exercise, I go to the gym early every morning for 1 hr 10 minutes. I do 30 min cardio, 30 min weights and 10 min stretching. I love it!<br /><br />Samantha<br />http://weaknessbecomingstrength.blogspot.comRebeccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02366577682743479072noreply@blogger.com
