I'm not fat from over eating nor am I fat from not liking good foods.
I am fat because I can't afford good food and there is NO coupons for good food. All of the organic food is way high in price and for a family of 5 I spend about $150 a month in groceries and another $100 on HBA and Meds. In the summer we grown out own food and it's fab and we all eat well and are healthy. Now though our growing season in Michigan is done and it's back to canned goods and whatever I can get cheap with coupons. I do not eat all the time....that is such a myth! I eat 1x a day and then I feel guilty I'm eating something one of the kids may like.
We make a decent wage and I work full time so it's not laziness either.
Anyone else stuck in this cycle? OH and my husband hunts so we eat a lot of wild game.
Good things come to those who wait. 1|1|lol I put on a bunch of weight going thru the change and I eat less now than before |glennie58|glenn_scott@alumni.ksg.harvard.edu|13:55:47|10/09/2008|

I'm also fat. And mentioned it to my Dr., and she said that she feels as though each (most people)person is made to be
a certain size. I kind of agree with her on that.
I don't eat a lot either, and not a lot of junk. Majority of the time, I also eat 1x a day.
We eat a lot of garden fresh veggies, and a lot of game meat (including fish).
Right now with our economy not being stable, I'm thankful that my family has hunting/fishing skills.
And the only other thing I can add is *woot* Deer season is coming.

I'm trying really hard to get healthier and to lose my "middle" so that I can finally not look pregnant (LOL!, ouch but it is true and I haven't been PG since almost 3 years ago and I am so done with that part of my life....)
So, I plug away at it and try to stay as upbeat as I can. I've been walking every day. Since our car broke down I have not even pushed dh to try to fix it-- we have to exercise a lot more when we are car free. I don't own a scale, but judging by my clothes and how everything is getting loose, I would guess I have lost about 10 pounds so far. I would guess that realistically I need to drop another 40. Oh that is depressing, but true.
I've tried many times but the other times it was always because someone else said I should do it. This time it is just all because I want to. I want to be able to run again (if possible, my knees are pretty bad) and just be able to keep up with my kids better than I can now. Also exercise and walking is just about the only thing I do just for myself, so I am looking at it that way. I've earned a chance to feel better all around. Or not so "round" LOL.
The eating is hard because I have a terrible sweet tooth. I'm trying to cut way, way back. I love to eat and I eat to make myself feel better about things. I've started replacing many of those binges with a walk. When I come back from walking I don't want to eat anything so it works. Food prices have made it a lot harder to buy healthy food and I really miss winetags. We used to have some good ones here in OR but the past several years they have been zilch. Sometimes I use the "catalina" coupons for $ off my next orders and use those to buy fresh fruits and vegetables. I stocked up on free glade warmers recently and for each one I also got $2 off my next order. I think I had about $40 off by the time I was out of glade coupons. Stuff like that helps a lot.
That's my confession.

21|1|Hard to find coupons, but contact the natural/organic foods companies!!|amymisha|amymisha@comcast.net|14:05:43|10/10/2008|
Every 6 months or so I contact the natural foods companies that I buy products from and send an email telling them about the products I like of theirs, and asking if they have any coupons or samples to share. Most companies are GREAT about sending really good, long dated coupons... many times free item ones. These are coupons that are not often in SS, so they are really helpful. Eden Foods often send a box of samples of new products etc. If you'd like the email list, contact me and I can send it on. I sometimes just send a sort of generic email, unless the company is a super favorite of mine. Hope this helps a little...
