Things are going well!  Sometimes it is hard to keep on track but I think it is easier because it is summer.  Exercise is easier.  Veggies are cheaper at the store.  I buy lots of veggies and wash and cut everything up so I can use them in recipes or eat as snacks through out the week  I find that helps.  I have planted a few snow peas we shall see how they grow.  I love snow peas for stirfries!  And they are generally easy to grow!!

Twenty nine pairs of pants that are too small.

I cleaned out my closet today! Twenty nine pairs of pants that do not fit.  They are in various sizes.

Well, at least after I lose a bit of weight, I won't have to go shopping!

Check out my post about clothes HERE.

I live with someone who, no matter what food I make for supper or how much food I make, he always asks one of two questions.
"What are we going to have with that?"
and
"Is that going to be enough?"

We eat a lot, at least according to average serving sizes.
A big pot of soup isn't complete to him, unless there is chunky bread or a plate of crackers.  Any kind of pasta needs to eaten with several slices of bread (which kind of grosses me out, to be honest!) I can make four pieces of chicken with a vegetable and rice............ and he looks and realizes that that means he will get two pieces of chicken and that is not enough for him.  Often I will add an extra piece or give him the bigger ones.

I have been trying to use less meat lately, which is cheaper, and more vegetables -making stir fries with rice- which is healthier.  And I can cut the meat up smaller, which makes it seem like there is more.  If there is salad on the side, it gives the impression of more food.  When I am cooking, I try not to fall into the it isn't enough food idea because too much food is what made me fat. I have been so much better lately.
But it really is hard to live with someone who isn't satisfied after meals and ends up making a peanut butter sandwich within 30 minutes of eating.

So back on track after the bit of trouble last week.  I don't feel any different with almost twenty pounds lost but I guess that takes time as well. At least I have stayed away from Dairy Queen!!

Two pound weight gain this week which is very discouraging.  Not doing anything different.  Still exercising.  Still eating healthy with smaller portions.

I think I need to cut my carbs a bit as the past 3 weeks I have been eating a few more carbs.

I am trying not to get discouraged.
