Do the Math —
Eat Less to Weigh Less!
Adding up calories resulted in subtracting pounds for Tami Bell… 90 lbs to be exact! After a "tough love" message from a friend a year ago, Tami decided that she was sick of the fat and she would be more mindful of her eating. She was ignoring her weight and didn't even own a scale.
She searched the internet to determine the calories she needed and began making healthier choices. She made the calorie counter work for her. She chose smaller portions and halved some of the usual suspects, like bread in sandwiches, and limited her liquid calories. It soon became clear that she feels better saving calories for nutritious food rather than spending them on junk.
Tami doesn't think it's expensive to eat well and has found some really super fast foods, like fruits and veggies and yogurt. Sometimes junk food happens but Tami gets back on track by balancing the overindulgences with a little less the next day. She doesn't forget her goal, forgives her lapses, and moves forward with a positive attitude.
The extra weight made it difficult to move comfortably but now she is setting her sights on losing the last 10-20 lbs by increasing her physical activity. She may just bust out running and hop over any obstacle in her way. That may help with her next challenge to quit smoking by her next birthday so she can reflect on her accomplishments. When Tami puts her mind over matter, anything can happen!
