Healthy Weight Loss

Tcountry · 08-07-2011, 09:19 AM

So....the other day Sunshyne & I were talking...(surprise)
A little background...we are the same height...different builds...but when looking up "goal weight" they don't ask how you're built...so, back to story...

So...she was looking up what the weight range is "supposed to be normal" for our height. She said xxx(I can't remember the number), & said they have categories for weight.
Under weight, normal, overweight, & obese....wth...anyway..."normal" was not doable for sure (I was there once, I looked like a teenage boy)...so I asked "what's the most I can weigh & just be overweight?" (cause obese just sounds bad)
This question cracked her up...

She did give me the answer...so now that is my goal...lol
Sorry had to share...

I have found that a weight the "professionals" say that I would be healthiest is not the weight I feel or look the healthiest in. Usually I feel and look best about 10-15lbs more.

About a year ago i asked my weight loss doc what he had in mind for my goal weight. His response was his goal for every patient was for them to feel better and improve their overall health rather than reach a certain (and often unrealistic) number on some chart.

This weekend was ok for me. I exercised every day whether I wanted to or not. lol I felt like my healthy lifestyle choices were being challenged. I was surrounded by food! My Abuelita (grandmother) was here on a visit. She expresses her love through food. She brought with her tamales and gorditas!!!!!!! Imagine the temptation!!! So for the most part I stayed away from the food. When I could see everyone eating, I would go to the kitchen and get a snack. Preferrably one I am a major fan of!

Last night, my sister hosted a cookout making their ever so popular hamburgers. I opted to only eat the hamburger patties with my favorite fixins. Just eliminating the bread and fries/chips made me feel much better. Today, they had barbacoa tacos. I had two with lean meat topped with avocado on corn tortillas.

(the flour tortillas looked so yummy).

ANyhow, before they left they ordered pizza and while I really wanted a slice, I just couldnt bring myself to do it. I was going to just give in and have one, but the more I thought about it the more I realized I didnt want to waste my calories on a slice of pizza from a restaurant I dont even like! This is a classic example of something I would do in the past. Its like if my brain knows its not good for me it wants it! No matter what! Not this time.

Challenge after challenge!!! However, I did not escape this weekend without having 1 casualty. I had a slice of pie...and you know what? I savored every bite! When it was done, I was done. That was good enough for me!
