portion control

<p>lol shellz… I get that! My fiance can behave for a week and drop 10lbs. It would take me 6 months to a year on an even more strict diet than him to accomplish that. It is so much easier for him. And then he wants to “celebrate” his weight loss by going out to eat, which he can get away with, I absolutely CANNOT! I CANNOT go off book with my diet unless I am okay with being up and having to be extra strict for 2-3 weeks afterward to make it up. I just remind myself that at least I can indulge without going hog wild (usually), he can’t have any snacks in the house at all or he will eat all of them in one sitting… if I couldn’t have the high metabolism, at least I got better self control. </p>

<p>I am realizing my body only wants to be so lean. My torso has gotten so lean you can easily see my abdominal muscles and any thinner it would not look healthy, and this is the only place I seem to be able to lose fat anymore. My bra is still the same 32DD it was 40lbs ago and I still probably have a good 5lbs+ of excess fat on my thighs, but that is not going anywhere. My body wants to be VERY hourglass shaped, not just a little, but VERY. FINE, I give in! I wonder if over time some of that fat will redistribute itself and maybe I’ll look a little different. Who knows. The important thing to remember is that your body works the way it works, and it will do what it wants to do, and if you eat well you will be healthier and you will be smaller, that is the only way to look at it. Getting too specific an idea in your head of what you want to look like is a recipe for frustration and failure. You can’t control everything.</p>
