Insulin is our fat storage hormone and eating carbs spikes our insulin so every time you eat carbs you are sending the message to your body to store fat. If you haven't tried it yet, maybe give low carb tortillas or keto bread a try as an occasional low-carb alternative so you can still have a sandwich or wrap from time to time and not feel so deprived. Also, if you like it, nori is a great substitute for a tortilla, especially to make a tuna salad wrap. Sounds like you are in a good place and ready for summer!Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03500924758437763216noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20595227.post-46420043485044620552024-03-16T07:24:44.366-05:002024-03-16T07:24:44.366-05:00

WW has taught me so much over the last year or so and hopefully fingers crossed I might have figured out what good for me and weight loss…and what’s not. <br />jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11000062075347416626noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20595227.post-18784588355975494282024-03-15T18:09:53.075-05:002024-03-15T18:09:53.075-05:00I know I would have trouble on 1500 calories.

Like your mom, they were in different books, or maybe a card here and there, without any real organization. But when I see her handwriting, the reminder of me sitting in the kitchen, watching her cook or bake makes me smile from the inside out. We ended up rewriting any that were tough to read, but kept the original right next to it, so we would always have that part of her. <br /><br />With regards to your weight/calories/carbs - I think you have mentioned that you eat the same breakfast or lunch ?? every day. Have you considered changing that up? I know that I get very comfortable myself having my protein shake every day before lunch, but I have also seen that when I take a break from that shake for a few days, the scale seems to follow. I think the small change tricks the body into wondering what to do with the food it's seeing and processing. I don't change it for long, but maybe a week or so and then I go back to it. Just a suggestion. :)SANRDJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15977221271970421437noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20595227.post-9500639724156551602024-03-13T12:40:27.608-05:002024-03-13T12:40:27.608-05:00I wish I had half your ambition!

I've kept bees in the past and they are so amazing...plus you get honey!! - a good carb!! Sounds like your place is coming along amazingly.<br /><br />One thing I've noticed in following your desire of weight loss is that any outside influence or crisis becomes your excuse to over-eat. Ultimately YOU are the boss of what goes in your mouth, not husband getting hurt, job stress, mother passing, etc. As demanding of your emotions and life times such as those are, they do not give you license to forego taking care of yourself.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20595227.post-74920120922585519242024-03-10T13:41:56.481-05:002024-03-10T13:41:56.481-05:00Congratulations on surviving!
