1st Check In

[Ducky4Disney]

Well, I'm checking in for the first time. So far I don't think I've lost any weight but I am changing my eating habits. I am cooking more at home and eating out less. I have slimmed my portions down as well. I am having a hard time cutting out my afternoon cookie. I may have to start small - instead of getting one BIG cookie or buying 3 small cookies for $1, I may just get one small cookie. It was hard to pass them up today - but I did.

How do you curb your cravings? That is SO hard to do! I need to up my exercise - but I'm taking this slow.

Hi D4D ! Welcome to WISH ! Good for you for changing your eating habits. Sometimes that's the hardest step to take. And you're right, sometimes you need to do things in Baby-steps. You will make long-term changes if you don't try to take on too much change at once. If you haven't already stepped up your water intake, start doing that immediately ! Take your current weight, divide by 2, and that's how many ounces of water a day you should be consuming.

Congrats ... and keep us posted often on how you're doing.
