I don't battle the same way others do but living as a "problem eater" for about 17 years of my life as I have gotten old I found many things that I love, no longer love me.<br /><br />Being healthy does not mean we have to look like those size 2 models in many of those magazines. I have found that I have to feel good, and one way to do it is not to stress myself out on what I am eating as much as why I am eating it.<br /><br />Pizza is the down fall of many of us women and it is hard to lay it down, but when I think of how my stomach will feel after eating just one little slice I do the double thought and back down it goes. So I too eat very little highly processed wheat products such as pizza dough, cake flour, danish and so on because I personally found my stomach rumbles like a 1956 Ford pickup, and within the hour I am stationed on the porcelain throne. <br /><br />This is not always the easy to do but knowing that my body doesn't like it makes it easier for me to put things down. But in turn my brain tells me I want pizza so what I do is de-construct pizza. Now if I was making a pizza for myself I would put several fresh low fat goat and feta cheeses on it, fresh tomatoes, and spinach. Now plate that up without the pizza dough and theres dinner!<br /><br />I found that de-constructing a lot of meals has helped me just to be healthy. I eat what it is that I really want and have kicked out those hard to lay off of no-no's<br /><br />Try this with the Pizza night<br /><br />(there is no way to de-construct mash potatoes and gravy) LOL<br /><br />Cathy Cawelti WellsUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12827236845132765077noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38232942.post-36528013882464443712011-07-09T10:20:17.451-07:002011-07-09T10:20:17.451-07:00Hey Mo, I can relate!

I need to excercise more and eat less chocolate - a very difficult thing for me since chocolate is my work day stress relief and as you know, my work day is really stressful lately. Let me know when you want to start. Monica.Monicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01673716006494918100noreply@blogger.com
