Eating habits are hard to break because we are such creatures of habit!! We all have dishes we like at certain restaurants and at certain times of the year. And we all have snacks we prefer at home and while out and about. ALL of those have changed for me. Chips and dips at home have become fresh veggies and humus. Chips/snacks in the car have become Nuts & dried Cranberry Mix. I have never had an issue with eating too many sweets .... now I don't crave them at all. I have always loved fried foods ... now they don't appeal ... so I am trying new things at restaurants. I have always loved pasta and rice and bread and potatoes ... and now I don't so much. And that's it. Things I have always loved just don't appeal anymore and sometimes I find myself at a loss as to what to eat. So ... I try to surround myself with healthy options.
I am an emotional eater ... things get rough, I reach for food ... and drink!! Keeping the healthier options available helps with that!! Plus things aren't rough around me much (Knock on wood!). My emotions seem much more level, too. And I went off my anti-depressant! Plexus is helping with so much!
Now ... let's talk drinking!! I like to drink!! I like BEER!! I like Red Wine. I like Margaritas!! I have not given up any of these things. HOWEVER ... I am no longer having a glass of wine at the end of every evening. I CAN .... I just don't really want to! I do drink beer every Friday evening when I am out with my husband and I might be drinking 2 instead of 3 .... or 3 instead of 4? Maybe. Not sure. Depends on how long we stay. I also drink beer or Margaritas on Saturdays sometimes. I don't drink everyday.
My weight-loss has been SLOW compared to some others I see posting about Plexus. But it has also been steady and dependable. I am losing 3 pounds/month approximately. I am happy with that. Here is a picture comparison of me in February ... at 18 pounds lost ... then me in April at 24 pounds lost. That is just a 6 pound change .... but those 6 pounds seem to matter ...
I was trying to look nice that evening in February ... the man I am standing next to is Ted Cruz!! I was at a big fundraising function that night! And I had lost 18 pounds! But I am no fool! I know that I still have about 85 pounds to lose. And I know that I won't look the way I want to look until I do ... and even then, who knows? Apparently people who know me are seeing the changes in me .... even when I don't. Ted Cruz didn't care ... he doesn't know me!!
I am NOT on a diet. BUT ... I am eating differently. Plexus Slim seems to be changing what my body wants. I just have to listen ... and be willing to change. I do NOT feel like I am denying myself anything. I'm NOT denying myself anything. It sure is a lot easier to eat smarter now!
Meats .... vegetables .... salads ..... more meats .... more vegetables .... more salads .... pretty easy!!
Plexus is making me healthier from the inside out ... and it is showing on the outside!! I just need to keep listening to my insides!!
