Breaking My Plateau

I'm finally seeing some weight-loss results! My plateau is breaking and very shortly I will be lighter than I have been in a year. The answer to my plateau break? Five letters: F-R-U-I-T

I simply added more fruit to my diet.

Record keeping turned out to be a brilliant idea, because I was able to see the changes in my body every single day and see how foods and exercise contributed to my weight. As soon as I added more fruits to my diet I immediately started seeing results. My weight plummeted! What I did was I changed my diet so all I was eating in the morning was fruit. I also became more conscious of how I ate my meals. I began to eat smaller meals and added small snacks throughout the day, which turned out to be fruit every time.

Now my biggest challenge I foresee in the near future is going on vacation next week. I must try to maintain the progress I have been making and not give in to old bad habits. I will report further success in two weeks!

Record! Record! Record!

I am now recording details on my weight-loss program daily. I record what I eat, how much I weigh each morning, how much water I drink (usually estimation), if I took vitamins and herbal supplements that day, and if I went to the gym or walked. My goal is to become more aware of any changes that occur in my body so that I will know how to overcome my weight-loss plateau. I am hoping that if I am more health conscious on a daily basis I will do better in the long run. I have been doing this for the past three days, and so far I am very happy with this arrangement. I notice I eat less when I am aware that I have to record exactly what I have. I am better at taking my vitamins and herbal supplements, too.
