July/August - Weight Loss Challenge

I don't think it takes any longer to prepare SB meals than any other meals unless you currently exist on prepared stuff. If you're looking for some quick and easy recipes I can't recommend www.savindinner.com enough. The Body Clutter menu works well with SB and nearly all of the recipes can be made in 30min or less. Her soups are great too and she includes one in every menu.

I'll be going back to SB after I'm done with the Detox Diet. 4 days down and 3 to go! I haven't cheated either!

Love the blog BTW!

Just a quick post to keep involved and motivated...
Ive been doing well with my eating habits. It is amazing to me.. if I only eat when I am actually hungry, I eat a lot less than I was before. I am an emotional eater and always feel the need to stuff myself.. a lot of psychological stuff here, but it boils down to serious emotional eating.. so ive been trying real hard to listen to my body.. i love hearing my stomach growl, because i know it is time to eat and i feel in touch with my self.
Im biking as much as I can.. for some reason I keep getting flats. ive had this bike not even 1 week... front tire went flat on sunday... now back one, last night..
so ive got to get some more inner tubes.. the roads here really suck!!!
im staying foccused and excited for weigh in on fri!

BethanyMarie,

Hard lesson to learn, but it is amazing, how eating only when hungry is a good thing and stopping when my stomach is satisified. I, too, learned to love hearing my stomach growl...it feels successful as a small goal knowing that I didn't eat just cuz, but I need to eat because my body says it's time. I grew up as a member of the "clean plate club". As a star member, it's hard to learn to leave food on your plate when your body says it is satisfied, again, I feel successful when I do.
