Turned 50 - need to change my life with FTS

Thanks toosweet, it 's funny how when you have a sugar addiction people still want to give you cake and cookies so on and don't have any problems pushing it on you. Any other addiction that would not happen. Today I grocery day, I have to a proper list and plan meals for the week

[umpa]

You can do it!

[getskinny]

You are so right...my theory is that they themselves are addicted and feel better about having it when they have company.  Can't be wrong if you are having it too right???    Folks don't like to feel guilty about their own choices.  I have noticed how everyone around me feels the need to explain why they are eating what they are eating when they see me standing firm.  Human nature makes me giggle sometimes

Toosweet it is funny how everyone is still so caught up in the fat free stuff.  When I ask if it's fat free what do they use in the product so it taste ok --SUGAR!!  Everyone gets "Huffy" 

The "Secret of Sugar" was on again tonight and this time I PVR the program so I can watch it when I want to eat cookies and cake.   It makes for a great reminder

One thing I have notice is I do not drink enough water.  I notice the past couple of weeks I feel like I am so "thirsty". So this week I will drink 8 glasses of water. per day and see if that helps.

I sure wish I could watch that    Darn it!!  Haha  Every time I go to the web site it tells me that the content is unavailable....BOO  I'm sure I'll get a chance eventually though.

To help with the water I find it easier to fill my water pitcher and store in the refrigerator.  That way I know I got it all when it's empty at the end of the day.  If I'm going out I fill my mug    staying hydrated is very important with weight loss.  Not only does it help flush the fat and toxins out but it keeps everything running smoothly.  If you thirst persist though you should have that evaluated by a doc.  Love the picture by the way

Thanks We had a agency lunch meeting and the theme was a garden party. So we all wore hats. It was alot of fun and I won bouquet of  flowers for my hat. 
I will try that with the water, I turn to diet pepsi and that needs to change.

Hi getskinny - TooSweet has a great suggestion.  I personally like my water room temperature as whenever I have cold water my throat plays up. I recycle my water bottles.   I fill them up and sit them on the sink (4 x 600 ml), I grab one when I have a meal, when I go out the door, or go watch tv or just when cooking in kitchen.  It is amazing how quick they go.  Instead of mindless eating, it is mindless drinking

I do the same thing morgan but I keep them in the fridge

As long as it's water, wonderful!

Thanks for the suggestions. My water was much better today. I haven't weighed myself but 2 inches off my waist, 1.5 inches off my stomach, 3.5 inches off hips. 7 inches off Whoot. Thanks to less sugar and t-tapp exercises. Winning combo.
I think I going to stick to measurments for now. I get too caught up in the scale.

That is fantastic!!!  I bet you are feeling pretty good right now  

I found this online and thought I would share so that others could watch.  I'm so glad I finally got to watch it

Wow what an interesting video!

[mouseissue]

Thanks for sharing that video, Shawn!

Slow but sure, more and more people are learning that fat is their friend.
And hidden sugar in carbs, is the enemy.

There are billions of ad dollars and government misinformation the folks must get past.
But with the growing mistrust of the government, we can hope and pray that this message moves faster.
