change my lifestyle -Susan Martin

[Guest guest]

Hello Susan,

 

The best place to start is the " Recipes Files " area.

Identify what turns you on and start cooking

Most of all, enjoy yourself

 

Do not eat so much that you start to burp, Ahhh!, lol

But " DO " eat to kill the hunger and DO NOT be tempted to have " seconds " .

Occassionally you may, but avoid making it a habit

Your stomach is " like a stove " and if the coal(i.e. the food that you eat) is

not burn properly,

it turns into fat

Then, you need to exercise to shed it off(hard work if you hate exercise).

All I am saying is, " eat sensibly " and if you can't eat sensibly, make up for it

with regular

exercises.

 

My friend, Minnie who is a Pyschiatrist runs 6 miles every morning and same

again in the

evenings. She does this 7 days a week and if she misses 1-day, she tells me she

do not feel

right

She doesn't need to diet since she burned so much off and her metabolism also

increases,

likewise her appetite

 

To summarise what I said ;-

 

" Eat sensibly " and " exercise regularly " ...(no other rules required)<big smile>

 

Eating sensibly means eating smaller portions but if you feel hungry again after

a while, just

eat to kill the hunger and continue with this the whole day. Make sure you have

healthy

snacks throughout the day and everyday. Keep busy

 

I wish you all the luck in the world and hope you are successful with your new

regime

You done it before and you CAN do it again, girl...go for it<big smile>

 

 

Best Wishes,

Wee
