i have learned as well as I continueon this path. I have learned I was wrong thinking that only junk food/processed will be satisfying to me. I found that I dont need the fast foods anymore, there are so many yummy things out there that are even tastier and filling, for me and the best part...is they are better for me and will help me towards a healthier me. I learned that half the time I thought I was hungry, I was really thirsty. I have learned to pay attention to what I eat and when. There are so many things that I have learned over the last two years. I look at myself and give myself credit. I could have let myself go down and continue the path I was on with no exercise, junk food (I still eat it just in moderation), feeling sorry for myself when I looked at the thin girls in the magazines. Face it, I am forty five years old, I am never going to look like Victoria Secret model, but I sure am going to look great and feel great with what I have. So this is my lessons learned. Have a great day.
