10 Best Slimming Foods, Water 101, etc.

[Guest guest]

Candy Grandmom,

In the years past, I would often read these notes with the " BFL basics " and

delete them as " ya gotta be kidding me if we don't know this stuff " .

Of course, that was after staying solidly on BFL for almost 4 years. These last

6+ months of moving and compounded family crisis seemed to rock my core BFL

practices.

Although re-starting my BFL quest many times, I've somehow ended up expanding 6 "

at the waist and more than 50 pounds on the scale. ...And I can feel rest

assured that the 50 pound gain is NOT muscle!

After losing more than 150 pounds of fat (and now finding more than 50 of them),

I find myself misfiring on the " BFL basics " .

And for those of you that suggest that the occasional extra cheat day can be

made up with some extra exercise, that house of cards falls apart when you

suddenly can't find the time to do the exercise. I lived it, I know!

We are what we eat and we eat to meet the health & fitness goals we have firmly

set in our mind. And, if we haven't actively set those health & fitness goals

in our mind, we will become what we subconsiously think we look like. In my

case... ummm... Fat!

As a man thinkith, so shall he become!

In the recent past, I suppose I've had some stinking thinking, so it is back to

the BFL Basics.

That's a big, long way of saying...

Thanks for posting those basics.

I remain, trying to remember...

Progress, not perfection!

I agree the basics are the key. I've recently rededicated myself to

BFL basics and the results are good. I've posted an image in the

files section to illustrate the improvement I've seen in my weight

since eating more strictly. No more free days on the weekend that

seemed always to become free weekends. I'm also cutting out some of

the carbs and switching to more vegetables. It works.

We all lose our way from time to time (don't I know it), but at least with you -

you've maintained the connection w/BFL mentally, w/the group and always in your

heart. You CAN get back on that horse and beat the fat! Your " Progress not

Perfection " should be fuel for that fire!! Now get to gettin'!!

Bruce, which folder are you in? I'm not sure where to look.

I found your graphs and they do illustrate a good point. However it

does look like the overall trend is downward even with the upswings.

Definitely something to consider.

Oops! I said they were in the files section. I actually put them in

my folder in the Photos section.

I had a misstep today. A colleague is leaving my school and

her " going away party " was today and I pigged out on some very rich

cake! Shame on me.

I've got an out of town engagement this weekend with food provided.

That will be another challenge.
