[QUOTE="Tanya M, post: 664114, member: 18516"] I never liked the word diet. For me it's more lifestyle. It comes down to the choices we make about what we are going to eat. I used to be able to eat anything and everything, not anymore. The older I get the more I find certain foods and I do not get along. I've had to make some adjustments and give up certain foods. Again, it's not about dieting it's about lifestyle changes. Start small, make one change and hold that change for 2 weeks then add another change. Yes, drinking plenty of water is a must. I drink 1/2 gal a day (my husband calls me his camel) :p Because of the radiation treatments I had for cancer I now have an under active thyroid that has caused me to gain 30 pounds and lets not forget the older we get the slower our metabolism is. I have tried to lose the weight but really struggle with it. I decided to change my mindset about it. Regardless of my size or weight I just want to be as healthy as I can be. I do my best to eat healthy and exercise daily. I'm more concerned about what my body looks like on the inside than the outside. Lil, you have been under so much stress and stress can wreak havoc with our system. Don't give up, slow steady progress. Just because you didn't "lose" 5 pounds doesn't mean you didn't lose weight. You may be building muscle and muscle weighs more than fat. Hang in there!! [/QUOTE]
