look at this! soo many benefits on greek chat !!
I have to say, after a modelling agency hung money in front of my nose, the pounds came off pretty resolutely! I have basically become a nutritionist. Since may of 2004 i have lost 25 lbs and I have these tips:
~Set time goals (MAKE SURE THEY ARE REALISTIC!)~
if you have a set time when you should lose 4lbs, make a celebration follow! Buy yourself a treat (of the non-edible kind) like a pair of earrings, or treat yourself to a pedicure. Example, sept 6th I should be at 38.5 inches or at 145 lbs. If I wake up and make it.. it's spa time baby!
~Diet/Exercise Intervals
I did this with two week intervals. I would exercise and diet really hard and strict for two weeks (in my mind i was thinking.. it's only two weeks of my life) and then for one week I would level out, eat a few things that I was craving or missed.. but sparingly! That way I wasnt depriving myself completely. Then go back to my two weeks of my hardcore diet regiment. It's really good to level out on caloric intake for your metabolism's sake!
~LIVE BY THIS~
Breakfast: Like a Queen
Lunch: Like a Princess
Dinner: Like a Pauper
Breakfast is the best time to eat the most, and if you happen to be pmsing.. you can def. have your serving of chocolate or ben and jerry's in the AM to satisfy you.. cuz it's when your metabolism is kicking in high gear. Taper down to dinner and don't eat past 7:00.. esp. if you go to bed early
WHITE STARCH RULE:
EVIL nasty over-processed white food. Potatoes, rice, bread, snacks. They suck. Who wants to put over-processed anything into their body? Even au natural potatoes and rice are evil. Just swear em off from now on!
Motivation
so you step on the scale and viola.. you have gained 3 lbs even though you have been sooooo good!! well then you say screw this and run to the kitchen and eat a tub of edy's. Scales lie becuz of water weight... esp. if you take a diet supp. Before you go to bed.. if you weigh yourself in the am.. take a water pill. The loss of an extra pound will sooo motivate you to be an angel all day!!!
Did i write enough? I just jump at any oppertunity I can to share my experience with weight loss... and what I have learned from trying lots of different things, and learning what works for my body. I am so proud to have had hard work and a lot of research physically pay off!!Good luck.. and hopefully I will keep my fresh. 15 off!
