Get Real!!!

Today kinda slapped me in the face with how bad I've been with my eating habits after I only ate a big bowl of dutch oven  refried beans for lunch. It was delicious at the time, but now, an hour later I feel gross.

Smack!!!

Yup I need to change... Not so drastic that I feel like all I eat is rabbit food, but I really need to worry about eating healthier. And not try to baby myself and think that taking it super sonic slow will help, because it's not. There has to be a noticeable change.

SO! Here's the plan, I am only eating one serving of food, and that serving cannot equal the size of my plate, like my plate did last night... But what the label says. I know I said that before, but it just didn't happen...

 I am going to make a new lunch and dinner menu for our family and it will be detailed with veggies/fruit in every meal. I will allow one take out meal every other week and even then I will not stuff my face.

 No food after 8:00PM! Even if we have a late dinner, I cannot cheat and use it as an excuse to have dessert at 8:30.

I've been really good at only one snack a day, so I'm keeping that rule, but I am going to make sure that it is a snack that isn't super salty or full of sugar.

I am going to set out my daily goal water amount (8 8oz cups a day) on the counter and drink it!

I think my biggest problem is that I haven't shared this with my family, my husband knows, but not my Mom and Dad. My husband and I are living with my parents while we are waiting for him to finish up school, so we share meals a lot of the time, and a lot of the time someone will just pick up something and bring it for dinner or dessert. We usually have some kind of treat sitting on the counter that someone made and I'll count that as my snack and it usually makes me more hungry or crave more chocolate. So I take full responsibility on the lack of communication. I hope everyone will be home tonight, if not tomorrow, so we can have this talk.

I know that I've been bad about following my goals, but I've turned over a new leaf and will follow it!
