losing weight

Tori mentioned Sandra & I should let you all in on what we've done to lose weight. I haven't done that great lately so I feel like I'm not the best example. I also exercise regularly but as I've mentioned in the past, I never lose a ton of weight that way. I have to change my eating. I have a serious sweet tooth, so I keep gum on hand to chew after meals. I've never been a big pop drinker but I pretty much drink no pop when I'm trying to lose weight. I think it's personal though, for me pop is an easy thing to give up because I don't like it that much and drinking it makes me feel yucky. I avoid fried food. I keep yogurt in the fridge for a low fat snack. Another rule I follow is to eat wheat instead of white whenever possible! For the most part I just really watch what I eat. I think it would help me to take a few days and write down what I eat that day...right now it might not be that scary but there are days that I think I would be extremely embarrassed by the amount of candy and icecream, snacks, and even portions on my meals. That can't be healthy or necessary for a healthy body. So if you want to know what I've done so far, my biggest changes have been portions and cutting out snacks and candy and desserts.
