Thanks Sparkles. But we are going to do this. I only want to lose one to two pounds a week. I was told by my doctor to do it this way. It's more of a lifestyle change rather than a diet. I was also allowed 160 calories of any type of junk food, but no more than that a day. I'm trying to ease into doing things the right way but it's hard.

I did well yesterday until the evening. I ate uncontrollably. Bought too many goodies. I think things would be much easier for me if my hubby would change his eating habits. He likes sweets and I keep them for him but find myself eating them also. I'm going to try to convince him again to let go of the junk.

Again, I keep my calories at 1500. This was also set by my diet counselor. I have high blood pressure, so I'm to have 1500 mg of sodium, and less than 30 g of fat. If I follow this diet correctly, I should lose between one and two pounds a week. I was also told, if I go under my calories or over, the plan would not work. It has to kept at 1500.

Anyway, I started the day off with a Rice Crispy Crunch bar, and 1/2 cup of milk.

Calories 165 Fat 6 Sodium 170

Have a good day all and hang in there!

Dinner was an Italian sausage on a hotdog bun, and a crisp green salad.

Later, I had too many snacks, smile. And I was doing so well too. Need to do something about my evening snacking.

Calories were less than 1500 but too much salt. Will try again tomorrow.

Evening snacking is often my downfall, too. If I plan ahead, I brush and floss my teeth early. I'm pretty lazy at night and don't like having to brush and floss them twice!
