Hello everyone!!!
My progress is pretty much the same. Right now, I'm weighing 143 pounds and i'm a size 6 in most things and wear size small shirts but most of the time i'm a medium since I do not like wearing tight things.
I have heard a lot of people consider the surgery and then back out because they believe that we don't eat!!!... Alright so we don't eat much but we do eat and we still have our favorite foods, we just eat way less of it now that before. That doesn't mean that we still don't like to eat just like everyone else.
What I do now is that I change my favorite meals for healthy versions of it. For example, If i want fries, i don't fry them. What i do is peel the potatoes cut them as i wish, boil them to a half-cooked point and then spray them with non-fat non stick cooking oil and put them in the oven.Yes, it is too much work for fries but at the end of the day, I am not consuming a deep fried potato with so much cholesterol I might have a heart attack.
This is a website that I found a website of another girl who lost 135 pounds a few years back but still loves food. So she has created a site where she recreates her favorite foods to a light version of them. I wanted to share it with you guys because, most of the time, its really easy to substitute your ingredients and get the same savory result on your food. Remember, I'm Latina, Dominican, my food is never bland.
check her out!!! Oh, and you have to try the Buffalo chicken rolls and the cake muffins (sugar crusted!!)
