Thanks! It's usually a big problem for me too. Especially in the evenings. My fiance is out of town and whenever he's gone I find myself watching multiple episodes of CSI and snacking. My one downfall this week has been the coffee intake. It's cold and I keep wanting coffee. Plus, it's kind the only treat I'll allow myself right now. Well actually I ate a couple bites of a chocolate lava cake. My mother-in-law-to-be sent a little lava cake home with me. I was good, though, I ate only a little bit and I chose the very best part to eat - the inside.
I've been learning that this helps me - eating the best part first. I grew up being taught to finish all my food and so I used to eat the things I didn't like as much first - I'm serious, I ate the crusts on a sandwhich first, the crust of a piece of pizza, veggies, salad. Now I'm trying to do the opposite. Why not eat the part I like best first. Then I often don't even want the rest afterwards. It worked like a charm with t6he lava cake. Who wants it when the warm gooey center is gone?
I going to Florida for a couple days and I leave on Wednesday. I'm going to a wedding out there and so I had to buy a dress. I was so excited when I tried on a medium size at Le Chateau and it was too big! I ended up buying a small. That doesn't usually happed to me - maybe Le Chateau has larger sizes than usual. I guess dresses are also a bit different.
I have pretty extreme pear shaped body. I can usually get away with small tops, but I wear meduim to large bottoms. It's kind of frusterating, because I always feel like I'm unbalanced. I don't even have big boobs to makeup for it. Even as I lose weight, I notice my tummy getting smaller, but not my hips, butt or thighs. At least that's a healthier place to store fat, apparently.
Part of me would like to lose enough weight to significanly decrease my lower body fat, but I'm afraid if I lose too much, my upper body will start looking sickly skinny. Ahhgg it never seems to balance out. I think my butt will be proportionally large no matter what I do.
Oh well - some people actually like my big butt, but my brothers and sister continuously tease me about it.
