I'm thinking it just takes time, experience, and seeing how the scale reacts.Andreahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16670086432313105124noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-794159345404375538.post-49742959660958114202011-03-10T02:42:35.663-08:002011-03-10T02:42:35.663-08:00Thanks everyone! Rock on!
Hi Andrea! My French Sk...Thanks everyone! Rock on!<br /><br />Hi Andrea! My French Skinny lifestyle is now basically: <br />1. French Skinny portions.<br />2. Fresh bread from the bakery. (Nothing with preservatives)<br />3. Locally grown and or organic (if at all possible) fresh fruits and vegetables.<br />4. Real butter, cheese, cream, milk.<br />5. All meat. <br />The mindset is so different from a diet. I know I can have anything I want so I usually want to give myself, and my family, the best. I also enjoy going out to eat, BBQ's etc. I don't deny myself anything. Especially getting together with friends. Experiencing new things is all a part it. What I don't do is eat things that don't appeal to me. If I take a bite of bread and it doesn't taste good I don't "eat it anyway". I "choose carefully and eat with passion."<br /><br />Hope this helps!Karen at French Skinnyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07799103168968773659noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-794159345404375538.post-85487992468694992512011-03-09T19:26:17.868-08:002011-03-09T19:26:17.868-08:00Goodbye comfy mom, hello French Skinny mom!

But if I see pictures I either think who is that overweight person? or wow I look good! :) Rock on!Kerihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06392036142436127628noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-794159345404375538.post-47142474359833859292011-03-09T15:20:47.255-08:002011-03-09T15:20:47.255-08:00Karen, I found your blog two weeks ago and between...Karen, I found your blog two weeks ago and between then and now I started at the beginning and have read until the present. I am intrigued by this plan and have tried to implement it in the last couple of days. I have a couple questions though: Since your epiphany, which was mostly to do with being okay with much smaller portions and accepting that it is healthy for your body (and less about eating "French" foods), is anything off limits to you now, or is it all just portion control? Meaning, do you still try to eat what Shaboom is eating in Paris or do you eat more what we enjoy in the States and just eat a lot less? Also, did you slowly decrease your portion size or did it all happen at the time of your epiphany? I crave to understand the "rules". I have enjoyed reading the experiences of your journey. Congratulations on your success. I vote for before and after pics!!Andreahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16670086432313105124noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-794159345404375538.post-69680758857753229602011-03-09T07:39:44.524-08:002011-03-09T07:39:44.524-08:00It's a strange thing.

It wasn't until I started looking at photos of my "before" that I realized what being a size 2/4 instead of a 14/16 looked like.<br /><br />You'll get there. And you'll be proud of the way you handled your journey.shaboomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00682420282880549249noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-794159345404375538.post-56820613395435480892011-03-08T09:51:33.707-08:002011-03-08T09:51:33.707-08:00Happy is not a number on the scale.

I’ve got a long way to go but with the first 10 gone people are starting to notice, but I actually don’t. I’ve never thought about dieting or having some type of regimen, but thought it was about time I did something for myself, that’s when I noticed that the hard part about losing weight is the decision itself. Congratulations on your success and hope we hear more from you once your six month journey is over.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
