I don't have experience with dieting myself, but I do with a lot of my patients and one key thing I have found that is important is to make it a lifestyle change rather than a diet. Maybe it is just the terminology, but diet sounds like something to make it though to get skinny then throw out the window, but when that happens the weight comes back. I am a big fan of eating more smaller meals during the day, cutting out most restaurant food, desserts (except for special occasions), pop, excess juice and eating more whole fruits and veggies. <br />Thankfully my partner and I are totally on the same page we want to be as healthy as possible, so he motivates me and I him. We are learning together about which brands/foods have more salt, fat and calories and try to exercise together as much as possible. Keep up the good work and we look forward to hearing about how it's going.Andreahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05264812479888057880noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-170366352901514823.post-69526280740635117522010-08-03T15:45:31.109-07:002010-08-03T15:45:31.109-07:00I'm so sorry you're at a frustrating point...I'm so sorry you're at a frustrating point. I totally understand! Things that work for some don't for others. Things that once worked don't seem to work.. That's my major frustration. Giving up on food all together! Lol is right! Silly girl, hope you are able to get back on the going down side of things and good job getting this far!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14281803360608240378noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-170366352901514823.post-11184633779550118592010-08-03T15:33:04.984-07:002010-08-03T15:33:04.984-07:00I hear you about the peeing thing.

I've been trying to drink more water too and the other day as we were stuck in rush hour like traffic on a Sunday afternoon in the middle of nowhere I thought I was going to barf I had to pee so bad! I did Weight Watchers after Jayden was born and I've lost 50lbs but I've been stuck for 2 months now. I'm back to counting points again but I actually gained 2lbs last week!!! I'm getting uber uber frustrated and seriously considering giving up food all together... lolAmanda Toddhttp://www.madamesofi.comnoreply@blogger.com
