Do you think that your butt and thighs are too big in relation to your upper body? I do think your story isn't a one-size-fits-all scenario though. It's really nice and EASY to say just focus on natural foods and forget about calories and portions". That doesn't work with people with EMOTIONAL eating problems (the majority of plus-sized people). Keep in mind, even at 155 pounds, you were at a healthy" weight. I see your struggles as not feeling good about yourself because you slip on 30 extra pounds due to mindless eating and stressors of life, child birth, and back surgeries.
Control your cravings. In the 3-A-Day survey, 52% of the moms said cravings were their biggest challenge in losing weight. Eating every few hours will prevent hunger , keep your blood sugar stable, and reduce cravings, says Sass. "Moms are so busy they tend to go too long without eating, then end up eating too fast, or the wrong kind of foods," she says. One trick is to plan ahead: Bring along a baggie full of unsalted nuts and dried fruit for when hunger strikes. If sweet cravings are your downfall, Sass recommends chocolate - a few small pieces, that is. Let it melt slowly in your mouth so you can really savor the taste. Don't avoid the foods you crave; just eat them in small portions.
