I'am having a tough time getting back on track.  Food seems to be my best friend right now.
I need to get motivated again.  My exercise program is shot to hell.  HELP!
I will not give up, even though I'm struggling.  If anyone has any advise or tips to get
going, please let me know.
 

I'm excited.  I've lost 1 kilo my first week.  I've loved the food.  I especially love homemade hummus made with blackbeans and avocado in addition to the chickpeas, onion, garlic and lemon juice.  I spread it on whole grain toast and sprinkle with a mix of chile pepper, garlic and onion seasonings.  YUM!

I've been doing the ERA plan for several weeks now.  I weigh myself weekly and I've gotten to the point where I can almost predict whether and/or how much weight will be lost.  During the week, if I've gone awhile between meals and my stomach feels kind of bloated I've learned to interpret that as UNDEREATING, crazy as it sounds.  If it happens a few times during that week, I know I probably haven't lost anything that week.  During times where I've eaten more (heavy on the beans & greens)I interpret the solid but kind of lean feeling I get to mean I am on track to lo

Well I have been a meat eater for most of my life.  Now I am easing into becoming a nutritarian.  I hope that the cravings for bad food will naturally fall away.  It would be a miracle.  I am going to embrace this lifestyle - I need it for my health and well-being.  I know I can do this!  I already see myself WHOLE!
