Mountain Dew Funeral

The Nutrition appointment went well yesterday all except one thing. I had to have a Mountain Dew Funeral. Not only did my nutritionist tell me this but my family doctor to me to rid myself of it for my migraines. So here are my marching orders to help on my weight loss journey.

1. Drink more water. Your body can think you are hungry when you are really thirsty.

( I did not know this!)

2.. Have a Mt. Dew Funeral. 

3. Eat out of smaller plates. It LOOKS like more. 

(see Portion Control post)

4. Follow myplate.gov provided.

(this is awesome!)

5. Keep food records.

6. Aim for 1-2 pounds weight loss per week.

(removal of Mountain Dew should help)

7. Eat Slowly. Chew foods well.

This all seems so easy! However I know the Mountain Dew demons are around every corner. I just have to stick to it and not let life get in the way! I am finally feeling like I am doing something great not only for myself but for my family as well! And if you are working with me on this I hope it helps you as well!

Final Goodbye to my Mountain Dew last night!
