When I gained the Freshman 20 (oh yeah...I did), what really helped me was making small, healthier changes that ended up becoming habits. For example, I totally switched over to ordering wheat bread, pasta, tortillas, etc. and now I don't even like white bread. I also realized I liked iced tea, so I became a tea-aholic as opposed to drinking soft drinks (it was just all about getting out of the habit of ordering them). Now I don't miss them at all and I find them disgusting. I started allowing myself a hamburger, but I compromised by getting veggies as a side. All of those things just became second nature, but I was still able to eat the things I liked. And cooking is great because you can substitute things and use healthier ingredients and you control the quality of them. As time went by, the pounds started coming off. But it took some time for my body to adjust to the changes and realize that it was healthier. You know what makes it easier (but is not as quick of a fix)?

I wish I could say the same thing. Since I've had child #2, my diet has consisted largely of ice-cream and potato chips. Okay, so I'm exaggerating (well, a little), but my belly is the best evidence that I really should buck up and get back to my normally healthy ways. Sigh. Good for you!
