Then it won't be so hard to keep up what you have planned. Just don't let yourself be discouraged too much if you break your new "rules" a few times - some indulgence, if balanced out the next day, won't do so much harm.<br /><br />Personally, I believe any radical change in a diet, such as cutting out something completely, is more likely to be given up soon than a gentle takeover of more and more healthy eating and exercising habits would be.<br /><br />I said it to O.K. yesterday morning when, out of curiosity, I stepped on the digital scales in his bathroom (I still have my grandmother's old-fashioned scales at home, they are not very precise): I must be the only person I know who has not put on weight during the Christmas period - quite the contrary, and I am really NOT keen on losing more.Librarianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05704656564078750607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3830720322970025712.post-6330603452514489332017-01-04T03:24:50.894-05:002017-01-04T03:24:50.894-05:00Do be careful with drinking too much water.

I...Thank you for sharing this information Jennifer. I think it is easy to put on weight in America as portion sizes are too big and so many people seem to go everywhere by car. Get some fruit in - that's my tip. When you crave a snack, eat an apple or some grapes etc.. Also - why drink sugary Coke when you can have Diet Coke instead? I wish you the best of luck in maintaining your present mindset.Yorkshire Puddinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06019673884543913089noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3830720322970025712.post-8445189513309596932017-01-03T14:26:20.032-05:002017-01-03T14:26:20.032-05:00Good luck Jennifer.Good luck Jennifer.Yaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15181961536405061470noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3830720322970025712.post-10126195403730384702017-01-03T13:40:31.181-05:002017-01-03T13:40:31.181-05:00An excellent goal.
