Well did some grocery shopping tonight. I got sone great deals on foods I had already planned on getting.

This week my husband and I are still going to eat a few things that aren’t all that healthy but we are eating nothing after dinner, late night grazing has become a real problem for us both.

I normally just eat one meal a day, but with rolling into a basic diabetic diet I will need to eat something for both breakfast and lunch it will be a big struggle for me. But I need to start monitoring my blood sugar even tho I do not have diabetes but checking my blood sugar I will be able to help adjust foods/ portions etc

By the 3rd week we should have things pretty figured out. I will take another week or so to truly cut back portions to the correct size, stomachs need a couple weeks to shrink of course.

My husband will give up on diets/ food changes quickly if he truly feels hungry so a slow decrease in portion size is going to be the smartest.

Basically a month from now we will be fully on board. My husband will jump on the scale daily. I really want him to just check weekly. I think it’s just mentally easier. I can not go near a scale. But my clothing will tell me if I’m making progress..

I want to wish everyone that is making lifestyle changes with foods and physical activities all get results so we will all continue on to better physical health
