**disclaimer 211...shopping is fun just don't do it while you are hungry, because you will not be making wise choices...
...~ps i am sorry for not posting last night; i cashed out and did not wake until this morning; so here it is...
....yesterday i went shopping for my sister in-law, sister, mom & myself...and if you have been at my house lately i have absolutely no food (i mean i am not trying to eat my face off; however that is no way to lose weight)...i made my way to giant "ripoff" a.k.a giant eagle, they actually have an amazing bakery, & wonderful produce (usually) & that is why i choose to go there...
...as i weaved my way through each and every aisle & got what i needed for them i picked up a few things for myself...it is super pathetic how bare my cupboards were...so i decided to give you some shopping tips according to none other than the Fat Bridesmaid...
...tip #1: (everyone says it)...do not go shopping hungry; your head that says i need to eat healthy; will get drowned out by your stomach that says, "go ahead get a candy bar, that will satisfy me, until you get to the chip aisle...
...tip #2: start in the veggies & fruit area; maybe that is why they put in the front of the store...even if you are hungry all the food is out there like a buffet, so you can have some samples & eat healthy at the same time (& for all the people who think the store does not want you to sample, think about it; why would they leave the bag open for the grapes, or have the apples just sitting there without being in a bag...
...tip #3: if you feel the need to get a treat, go down that aisle, you need to face your fear & fat ass head on...pay attention to what you are eating (the calories, fat content, dietary fibers) & then maybe pick one from the salty aisle and one from the sweet aisle...
...tip #4: pick foods that satisfy your hunger and do not waste points...i got quaker rice cakes, instead of cheetos, you can have like 8-10 rice cakes for a point & like 15 cheetos for like 3 points (that is not an accurate count for the amount of food or points; but i am pretty close)...& most fruit is a range of 1-2 points as opposed to chips which range 3 points and up...eat good food you like & more of it; which doesn't cause your ass to grow = everybody wins...
...tip #5: choose from the five food groups, (people have been saying this for years; i am not that smart)...this gives you a balanced diet; & when you stop counting & constantly worrying about dieting the ultimate goal is a balanced diet...
96 & 97 1/2 days..enough shopping tips from me...go shopping get some good food (& don't get forget some bad; remember balanced diet)
...until "keeping the diet balanced" Sunday...
