Most people tell me hey, why do you need to diet? you have a perfect body. Do I? I think that I have a good shape, but a few thing can be changed. I have what some may call a Coke Bottle shape: tinny waist and Big hips/thighs = size 4-8 waist to size 10-12 hips ---> is it easy to shop for pants? I do not want to look like a TWIX bar (my favorite chocolate), however I can lose a few centimeters or inches.
So I joined caloriecount.about.com, which made it actually easy to keep track of my daily calorie intake.
After logging in all my info Caloriecount said:
What we've learned about you...
Your current Body Mass Index (BMI) is 29.3, which means you are mildly overweight. A healthy BMI for your gender and age is between 18.5 and 24.9 and a reasonable weight loss or gain rate is 1-2 pounds a week.
I think anyone will at least attempt to do something, after seeing something like this.
I like calorie count, because it allows me to tweak what i'm eating. I try to update my food troughout the day during my break when I have time. It allows me to know if I can have 2 crackers with water or a steak with french fries (I should really limit this to once a month).
CalorieCount, also made me realize that 1 slice of chocolate cake is the equivalent of a Tuna Sandwich + an Apple...Another thing I won't be able to eat often.
My husband and I went groceries shopping on Sunday and I loaded my cart with the following items:
- Tuna
- Granny smith Apples and oranges
- Whole wheat bread and crackers
- Chicken Breast
- Greek yogurt
Since my husband, is not dieting we also have some bad items which I won't mention here.
Now I need to be disciplined!
You are one of the most goal oriented people I know. This goal like all the others you will reach!
