Hey Guys,
I think that for me, the biggest change has been internal. What I mean is this: on every other "diet" attempt I've made in the past, I've always felt "deprived" or something. Now, I've changed my MIND and realized that this is NOT a diet, but*a true lifestyle change. Sure, I've said it before, but this time, it was like a switch flipped in my head and I now actually BELIEVE it. And, I don't beat myself up. If I want to have a piece of cake, I'll calculate the points and have it if I want. (LOL, usually not, though, since like someone said--points are like money). But the point is that I'm making the choice to eat healthy because I WANT TO, not because I think I have to or should.
Other than that, I'd say I've added lots more whole grains (fiber!!) and fresh fruits and veggies into my diet, and also I'm really watching portion control. I'm one of those who could eat an awful*lot if I don't watch it, lol. And I find that if I eat lower cal/fat and higher fiber, I can still eat LOTS!! LOL. So, I just manage my food instead of it managing me.
