Even one I learned this past June when I met my maternal grandfather’s family for the first time. <br /><br />I think that is something that helped me when my OB/GYN explained that one doesn’t need to go on a diet and that diets are short term solutions. I always thought something was seriously wrong with me because diets were not working and I am of the veggie and fruits person in my family. <br /><br />Your Sister in Christ, <br />NikitaNikitahttps://dianajordanop3.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3943060470929085549.post-51370867814820821382020-01-31T15:55:06.725-05:002020-01-31T15:55:06.725-05:00Nikita, thank you so much for sharing your journey...Nikita, thank you so much for sharing your journey! 14 pounds, that's awesome, you're doing great! And it sounds like you're working with your doctor to really find ways to develop new habits that will work for your specific situation. That's really wonderful! Maybe you can share some meatless Friday ideas with us come Lent. :-)Tiffanyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05772700828819881141noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3943060470929085549.post-23530718226556226592020-01-31T15:19:21.507-05:002020-01-31T15:19:21.507-05:00Thank you for putting your thoughts down on meal p...Thank you for putting your thoughts down on meal planning. My husband is more of the person who tracks what he eats, but then again he is on a particular diet. Diets and tracking have never been good for me. It might sound funny but when my OB/GYN diagnosed me with PCOS a discussion was placed about my weight (I am heavier, but really heavy), which women with my condition have a easy time gaining, but not losing. <br /><br />I had mention to my OB/GYN I had tried diets and the like, but I never felt I was getting healthier and the weight stayed. So, one of the key factors of getting me healthier was her finding out that my eating habits were a problem. I cannot eat as soon as I wake, I get sick just smelling food. Another factor is because of being raised in a more lower middle class family I could only rely on one meal a day, that was dinner. So, I was in the habit of starving myself until almost the end of the day and then because my body was starved I would over max my calorie intake. <br /><br />So, what I am working on is trying to have three meals a day and to portion them decently. I am also to keep myself active. Last year alone I lost almost fourteen pounds and felt extremely well. I am working to better my self not just for health reasons, but to raise the chance to finally extend my family with children. <br /><br />It is a tough battle, but in the long run I know its importance. But, what I was originally stating currently my husband and I are on different meal plans in a way because his diet I have done before and never worked, but I need to make sure to eat. (Plus, he has the joy of having freshwater fish and seafood while I am allergic...meatless Fridays during Lent can be a fun time, but nothing I cannot handle...the Fish Fry at the y current parish the cook knows I am so he makes sure to make me a cheese toastie, I mean a grilled cheese I keep forgetting not every uses the british food terms.) <br /><br />Please take care and enjoy your weekend. <br />Your Sister in Christ,<br />Nikita Nikitahttps://dianajordanop3.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.com
