Isn't it wonderful to be able to enjoy eating in the right way!
I had a half of a Whole Wheat English Muffin this morning with 1 teaspoon of Smucker's All Natural Peanut Butter. I added about 1/2 of a sliced small banana on top and then sprinkled it with honey. I had about 2/3 rds cup of Non Fat Plain yogurt with Splenda and about 10 plump blueberries. That breakfast totals out at approximately 300 calories which includes my creamer for my coffee at 10 calories a teaspoon.
It's amazing and I guess I no longer take anything for granted but it sure is a wonderful feeling to know that you can eat well and in the proper amounts while feeling totally satisfied and not hungry. I strongly feel that is why we continually read the following in so many articles: Eating the correct foods, in the correct amounts will satisfy your appetite.
I'm going to save my 2 mile walk/jog for this evening since I doubled up yesterday by going in the morning and in the evening.
Mother's Day is Sunday. Mother's Day surely falls in the category of a "Special Event's Day". These are the times where many of us choose to eat off track from our normal pattern of healthy eating 95% of the time. Surely, we all know by now that these times are not times to overeat to the point where you feel your stomach could burst. That's not a good goal at any time or for any reason.
These are the times that we do wish to enjoy with our family and friends. We can do this without going overboard and without feeling guilt of any type.
Everything in moderation holds true even on the "Special Event's Day" of our lives!
Have a great day everyone! It's Friday!

This is very good advice. I like the acknowledgement of Mother's Day and the decisions we all must make on these special occasions. I also believe that if we eat healthy 95% of the time we can use the other 5% to enjoy some of our favorites that way we never really feel deprived. The most important part of leading a healthy lifestyle is exercise, not only does it help us physically but also emotionally which is just as important. I believe "fad diets" do not tackle the whole issue at hand which is your body has to function both physically and mentally and that is what GDS and Tamig your inner octopus does for you!
Leslie, you are so right, exercise is so important for so many reasons. Eating properly 95% of the time does allow us to eat what we call "off track" for special events or times in our lives when we choose.
