Struggles !!!

Good Evening!

Struggles; what does that mean to you and how does that affect your ability to lose weight, and make good food choices?  Everyday I struggle with decisions that are related to life and unfortunately food is a struggle choice everyday.  We all must decide on what to eat today and does this meal contain "high carbs, low carbs, no carbs" and will it really satisfy our hunger for the day.  Sure sure you are saying, it is not really that hard. BUT you are so WRONG!

Tomorrow test yourself with the food choices you have to make all day. Are you going to count your carbs, calories, sugar, fat or other. SO take a tablet with you and track all these tomorrow and then see if the food choices were hard for you throughout the day. For example how many carbs & sugar are in your yogurt, then look at your bread you may eat for the day; how carbs, sugar including the fat count. So for me my daily lunch is "tuna, mayo, 2 hard boiled eggs, pickles" so with that being said, how many carbs, sugar and calories? Carbs = 4, eggs are free. Good food choice. Sugar free jello this is zero carbs. Think about it?

Then making a decision for the evening meal is even more challenging; why you ask because now you must include your family in the meal planning decision and if you have children....just think about that! Do you go for the good food choices are the bad food choices so you do not have too cook for the evening? Most families favorite food is "pizza" and we all know how much fat and carbs are in that meal, yep you are so right! Here is good recipe for pizza;  7 cups mozzarella cheese and 6 eggs mix together than place on a cookie sheet and place your pepperoni and bake for 45 minutes until golden brown.....just like pizza and zero carbs to 4! Oh yeah I know what you are thinking does it really take like pizza; I have to say "yes"!!!!

Just remember we are never alone when we are making choices and sometimes just having someone to write to or listen helps us to move past the struggles we are facing everyday.

God Speed!
