Just Vent | Just Venting

i was on a waste lost spree for two yrs and then i suddenly gained nine lbs....of course i know where they came from, my recent diet binge on how im losing so i cant gain now.....yeah rite. i lost 50 lbs the healthy way without diet pills, weight loss programs, or even personal trainers. Granted it did take me what seemed like forever to lose the weight, but i was focused more on my longterm health versus howi looked at the moment. give your body a chance and find out what natural way is right for you. i gave into peer pressure once before took diet pills and ended up in the hospital with palputations and other nurses telling me how lucky i was cause many ppl esp women die from taking those diet pills. no, i didnt overdose, but the side effects of the pills were not good for my body, what works for some doesnt work for all which is why you should be patient and find out what your body respinds to positively. since i am a female and we retain alot of water i cut back on sodium to at most 1500mg per day, decrease sugar intake, eat whole grain pastas, rarely eat bread, drink fat free milk, eat fat free yogurt, cut out sweet drinks completely and eat cheese that is natural and not processed as well as lunch meat and natural fresh seafood. i dont eat fast food unless its a whole grain sub sandwich, i also eat fried foods maybe once or twice a year. this was all a lufestyle chanfe for me, it wasnt a program, it was what,my body accepted, until recently when i began to overdue it on the sweets which is why im kicking myself now.

good luck to you
