Does anyone have any budgeting tips?

We mostly eat meats, veggies, fruit, dairy products. My husband eats rice and pasta, I do not. We purchase very little processed foods. My husband uses chips, juice, and cookies but they last him a few weeks (he doesn't overeat). I try to use coupons when I can ...

I haven't been posting daily but I'm doing great! I feel great! My cravings are under control. I'm pressing on. I've no intention of stopping the program. It is sensible and enjoyable.

My weight is still holding at 183-185. I'll be sure to discuss with my OB the next time I go in.

Bella75

HaHa! You guys are funny!

I have eggs for breakfast about 3x per week. I feel no guilt at all! I even cook them in butter.

Bella75

Hi NoSnacker,
I am feeling really good! Eliminating sugar makes a huge difference in my energy levels and the intensity of cravings! There have been none the last couple days.

I have ordered the book. It has not arrived yet.

For me, this plan is a tool to help me discipline my will but ultimately ...

Have a great work week NoSnacker.

Are you thinking of Psalm 139? It's my favorite Psalm!

13 You made all the delicate, inner parts of my body
and knit me together in my motherâ€™s womb.
14 Thank you for making me so wonderfully complex!
Your workmanship is marvelousâ€”how well I know it.
15 You watched me as I was being formed ...

oolala, I certainly do hope that NO S will help me with these binges.

I also found this article dealing with discipline vs. self-discipline.

I found these great definitions. I never really thought about the meaning of these two things. But I'll have to ponder these definitions.

What is will power?
It is the inner strength to make a decision, take action, and handle and execute any aim or task until it is accomplished, regardless of ...

I found the same article on http://summertomato.com/ and she called it "excellent" - although, in my opinion, she does the same thing.

(Whole grain) Bread and pasta are baaad!
Meat is baaad!
Buying produce at the grocery store is baaad!
Eating lots of fruit (--> sugar) is baaad!

are things she ...

Bella75

That would be cool for ladies trying to conceive.

Bella75

Thanks for all the responses.

Sometimes it is so much easier for me to stick to my plan if I just rotate the same dishes for breakfast and lunch.

Breakfast: eggs and toast OR salmon and toast OR just plain ole oatbran
Lunch: chicken and veggies OR a BIG yogurt, fruit, and nut parfait (for days ...

I understand NoSnacker! I understand!

Hey NoSnacker,

I like talking about the scriptures. They are living words. I need to remember "no condemnation" after today's eating...*sigh*

Yes, I start the fitness plan tomorrow. I have to remind myself to start small and stay committed rather than start big and burn out quickly. (HEY, I think ...

Bella75

Bella I was the same way!! So I had to toss the sweet stuff in the trash and not to be tempted to pull it back out of the garbage (I have never actually done that, but I'm not taking any chances) I would empty the litter box on top of it!!!

I :oops: have done that before...although the food was ...

I've rethought my exercise goals. I was thinking how lazy it is of me to feel that I can't exercise 15 mins Mon - Fri. I can sit on the computer for 3 hours straight or watch tv for 2 hours straight. So, my new fitness plan is as follows:

Mon, Wed, Fri-- Walk 15 mins
(work up to 30 mins and ...

If you do, what is you menu?

Romans 8

1 There is therefore now no condemnation to them that are in Christ Jesus.

2 For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus made me free from the law of sin and of death.

Bella75

My perfect is 3 meals everyday and to not buy a snack at the grocery store to eat on the way home. (sad, I know).

Bella75

This may seem odd but I have had times when I couldn't even go to sleep because I knew there was some dessert left over in my kitchen. I would lay in bed and think about it, wanting that last serving, knowing I should wait until the next day...but eventually giving in...all the while hoping my ...

Bella75

I was reading through some older post and I noticed a lot of people talking about loading up their one plate. I wondered why would they do that? I was thinking the idea was to just eat a normal amount and then it hit me! I don't have a problem with getting seconds so this idea of loading up the ...

Bella75

I am hoping to see a reduction in our bill but as I make out my list for my upcoming trip everything is adding up to be the same. Hmm.... well, I do cook all our meals. I guess I'll have to see what happens overtime.

I have a secret dream of being a coffee connoisseur. You know the kind of person who can pick up all the distinct flavors and tones of various brands of coffee. I am very far from this dream because right now all I drink is Folgers

I do want to try some others though. Any suggestions?

I think we guess that it is water weight. I don't think we actually have any scientific tools at home that can accurately measure fat vs. water.

I guess if I gained 5 pounds overnight I would know that it can't possibly be 5 pounds of fat. Is it physiologically possible to gain 5 pounds of fat in ...

Bella75

Thinking back to my binge days when I would eat an entire box of cookies while driving 15 minutes from the store to my home, I recall the cookies loosing their appeal to my taste buds after maybe 3 or 4. When I discovered that I had eaten the last cookie I would often think, "they didn't even taste ...

I think water weight is weight that comes from the amount of water that muscles and cells hold store not necessarily weight from the amount of water you drink...????

I have been weighing in at 183.4 lbs for five days in a row, yesterday I weighed 185 lbs, this morning I weighed 183.4 lbs again. I ...

Welcome!!! I think this is a good solution for gluttony myself and even through pregnancy. My ob is an older man and he suggested to eat three large meals during my pregnancy and it worked for me. through all four I usually gained only twenty pounds. My problem is after they are born!!! :roll:

Bella75

Is it really necessary for a fat woman to gain while pregnant? I have already gained about 20lbs and I was 40lbs overweight to begin with. Sometimes that scares me when the doc says the baby only weighs 6oz right now. Yikes! But I don't obsess because I know skinny women who gain like 50 or 60 lbs ...

Bella75

Congrats on expecting your baby!

No S will help you find that sanity. Do you have the book? If not you might want to consider it.

Isaiah 40:8 "the grass withers and the flowers fall, but the word of God endures forever"

One of my favorites.

Thanks NoSnacker :) A very true verse...but ...

Bella75

Where did the idea of snacking come from anyway? How did this come to be seen as part of a healthy lifestyle?

Honestly, most of the time when I snack it is not because my body has reached true hunger. I usually just have a craving to put something in my mouth and at best I am maybe on the cusp of ...

Bella75

I am awake at 3 AM because I am pregnant and pregnancy does weird things to your body. I figured I may as well start my check-in thread.

I'm excited! I have been praying for self-control and freedom from this nagging gluttony. I've relied on my old methods for so long and none of them have worked ...

Bella75

Thanks for the encouragement.

Thankfully I am pass the queasy phase. I can eat full regular meals. I just need to tighten up and stop giving in to lazy junk foods. Oolala, you are correct that fresh whole foods are best. And I can make it one more hour. I think I'll keep that as my motto ...

Bella75

I am stuck in a gluttony rut. I am 5 months pregnant and I just can't seem to gain control of my eating. I eat when I am upset, bored, frustrated. And I eat things that really should not be eaten everyday like dessert items and candies and such. I made up my mind two hours ago that I am going to ...
