For my first post I wanted to layout a couple of rules for myself to ensure that I know what I want and I what I don't want from this whole experience.
1. Stay Positive
I would love to lost all 150 lbs in one week but I know that is not possible or safe. As long as I am continuing towards my goal I have to remember to stay positive. A 1 lb loss is as good as a 10 lb one.
2. Depriving myself can only lead to cravings
I don't have to eliminate everything I just have to make smart choices and use portion control. I can have a slice of pizza every once in awhile. I just can't have FOUR slices.
3. The word snack is going to be eliminated from my vocabulary
Snacking is a big no-no in the dieting world. I have to completely eliminate it if I want to have a chance to reach my goal.
4. Some weeks are going to be better then others
There are some weeks were I'm going to slip off the dieting track and I have to not let those get me down. I just need to remember slipping doesn't always have to mean falling off. I can recover.
5. Drink a lot of water
Most of the time when people feel hungry they are just thirsty. I have to basically always have a bottle/glass of water in my hands.
