You've made such good points that I really appreciate. I don't have some of the same temptations since I am allergic to sugar. My choice would be eat some and be deathly sick...lol...not much of a choice. But I don't like to feel deprived either. I avoid artificial sugar but I have a treat that I have when I really want a dessert. It may sound silly but it works for me. I take a sugar free Klondike bar and cut it into 4 pieces...ahead of time! When I want a special dessert, I take one square and put it in a bowl with some broken pecans and EAT IT! It's perfect and just enough to make me feel happy! You need to find some exercise that you enjoy. I don't even think of my hiking as exercise any more. I LONG to get out on the trails...it's more like finally getting to go outside and PLAY! heehee! Thanks for sharing so much great info!

Of all the women (men, too) I have known who have lost a substantial amount of weight, only one has kept the weight off. It is a sticky problem. I think that it requires a supernatural healing from The Lord God Himself.

I also have water when I think I'm hungry when it is not meal time & it helps. So you are right for hint #8. I also try to avoid the center aisles of the grocery store and shop the perimeter-produce, meat, dairy and I'm very particular about what I put in my cart, even from those places. Always have a list! Also, getting out in nature, even if it is to just look at the sky or listen to leaves rustling, feeling a breeze and expressing gratitude in those moments help.

I don't think of it as a diet but a healthy way of eating. I am maintaining now and can cheat some, but after and during eating that wafer I felt so bad, wished I hadn't eaten it. Bad, bad, poison sweet, must be careful from now on. to keep myself up, I do what you said about the Beautiful. It sure helps me, doesn't make me beautiful, but sure makes me feel that way.Sylviahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17029808502731853372noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7092223141967556234.post-10302526946909513722019-08-05T13:43:18.407-04:002019-08-05T13:43:18.407-04:00You are an inspiration and will certainly be in my...You are an inspiration and will certainly be in my prayers to help you sustain the inner strength needed.
