It's crazy, but we keep on telling people these same three things, and yet, they still follow the 'have a bikini body in ten days' pot of gold. Agree 100%!

It’s crazy, but we keep on telling people these same three things, and yet, they still follow the ‘have a bikini body in ten days’ pot of gold.

I agree with you, journaling is an excellent way to keep calories in check. In fact researches with the National Weight Loss Study have suggested that as one of the ways to maintain weight loss. (Another post coming up this week!). Emily, great comments. I agree with you, journaling is an excellent way to keep calories in check.

I completely agree with everything you have written. I tried a drastic elimination diet several years ago and lost a bunch of weight, and it just came back on about 5 years later. Over the last 4 years, I have instead been making slow changes and healthier choices. I already did all my own cooking, but used to cook with lots of fat and make lots of baked goods. I have slowly moved into whole foods and cut out frying for all but a couple of times a month, if that. And just 3 months ago, I took up running for the first time in my life. Over these 4 years I have lost probably 75 pounds. I still have about 40-50 more to go to get to target BMI, but I feel like the changes I have made are permanent. It is so true that small, constant changes, and good, honest work will last a lifetime. One more thing to add, I find keeping a food diary the single most important tool to keeping calorie intake in check. I definitely eat better when I know I will have to add it up at the end of the day. It also helps me to review my food choices, and make sure I am getting enough balance in my diet, with produce and other things. I would recommend a food diary to anyone who is serious about losing weight. I love this blog post! I completely agree with everything you have written.
