My Grandma used to say if we over ate, "you feed your eyes and not your belly". Years later, when I lived in Nairobi, I had a dietician friend and she would say " don't cut anything out, just cut everything in half" Same thing really! You are doing good, and you make sense to me. Love Cindy 😊😊
Yes, that's pretty much what Neily is telling me to do. We need FAR LESS food than we think.
I’m 73 now and have found in the last few years that my need for food volume has significantly declined. It’s not easy to shift gears when the body lets us know that you just don’t need or really want serving sizes that used to be very no4mal and typical. What you’re moving to makes sense. Good for you!
It’s interesting to see your journey. When I stopped WW, I tried low-carb (not sustainable), then intermittent fasting, which has worked amazingly well for me. These days I just have my morning coffee then water until dinner, so I fast about 20 hours a day, with maybe a small snack (yogurt, hard boiled egg, or apple) before dinner. Food tastes so good, and I find it easy to control my hunger during the day. Congratulations on remaking your relationship with food.
I'm so happy to hear you not beating yourself up. I really feel that we need to get away from thinking there are bad foods or we are bad for eating certain things. I'm on a journey of positivity around my body and food. It's very enlightening.
Yes! Nothing off limits! Eat real food ( minimal processed) - eat when hungry - stop when satisfied! Life Changing!
There are vegetables in chili such as tomato sauce and onions, maybe green peppers, etc.
Put the chili on spinach over quinoa. Iron and protein
You are right, but I really want to have half of my meal be veggies so I do need to add.
I can’t thank you enough for sharing your journey. I am learning so much from you
♥ You stay on your soap box girl 🏅🎉 It feels great when you get an 'aha' moment and want to share with others! So happy for you Bobbie that you are hearing what your body wants and your brain is starting to get it YEAH ♥ Go Bobbie Go it's a way of life no more dieting 🥰
For anyone interested: I've gotten better to load up on veggies, while keeping it simple for me. Every weekend I prep raw and/or cooked veggies, some are staple every week and some will be seasonal and always have soup readily available. For lunch I have the choice of what I call the 4 S's - Soup or Salad or Snack plate or Sandwich. It allows me to have variety and ensure I'm eating what I enjoy - that's the key too.
You are really making a mindset shift. Huge win!
Good morning Bobbie. Thanks so much for the heads-up. I've seen numerous of these come thru; I just delete. Hope no one else falls for this!!
Hi Bobbie, yes smaller portions but on a smaller plate, thats how l started doing, after l had my youngest son, l have been on the plan for years and I still eat like that too, l am 63 and next month I will be 64, l had my last son when I was 32 years old, so l have been doing good, hugsssss ❤❤
Omgosh! Laughing so hard at your voices at the end - love love love that!
And you know how much I love this change in thought process for you. Eating by some plan or diet or whatever does not (usually) allow for that mindful eating aspect. It's the "I'm going to eat this regardless how I feel because I'm allowed!" I've had that conversation with many women over the years.
You are getting it and I'm thrilled to see this shift in thought process on a weekly basis in our calls. Keep it up! xo
Haha! Ryan helped me with the sounds for that. Thanks for all your help my friend!
I just clapped and said preach on sweet sister. I am trying to un do my brain from WW in the beginning back 20 + years the only thing free was non starchy foods I lost 40 lbs and felt fantastic the plan changed when fruits were free I started an uphill fight .I am now learning a new way to eat by calories no cheat day no day severe deprivation day before weight in and I agree my family eats different and I don't expect them to be different.
I have started noom its a psychological approach and I feel the Lord directed me and I am seeing success but more importantly I am finding a better way of lifetime healthy habits. I am 60 and still working at my best health God bless you for just being you
Thanks for sharing your journey. I always tell myself that food will still be there tomorrow. I've lost 50lbs doing if.
I appreciate you so much !
Amazing Lena! I love that!
Hi Bobby, it's so nice to hear you are mentally finding your happy place. I have thin genetics and haven't had the turmoil of losing weight. My philosophy has always been... eat to live, not live to eat. I love your videos whether make up or diets. I admire you so much. Xx
Thanks so much Nicola! You are blessed that you have had that philosophy. I am learning to get there.
Bobbi, way to keep going and learning! You're excitement is contagious! 😃
Have you tried Oikos Triple Zero Greek Yogurt? I'm not a huge yogurt fan myself, but if I have to choose a healthy yogurt, this is my top pick.
Maybe you could stock up on frozen veggies to microwave to add to lunch. A teaspoon of real butter and a sprinkle of low sodium chicken bouillon or Mrs. Dash is tasty, full of nutrients and fiber. Another nutritious “filler” is quinoa. Cook up a couple cups all at once, can scoop out 1/2 cup portions to add to any chili/soup for some protein, added to veggies it’s honestly a satisfying smaller meal, have cold over a simple salad with a little vinaigrette, even warm in place of oatmeal with cinnamon and stevia plus fruit and nuts. Also, cubed zucchini can be added to virtually any dish, it tastes like whatever you mix it into. Can even be substituted for pasta in soups and casseroles. Keep at it! This is all new to you and takes time to figure out what works. Focus on healing your relationship with food. It is energy. You get to pick the form of energy that is makes YOUR engine run well and tastes good to YOU. It isn’t a reward, a counselor or a friend. It can make us ill if not used wisely, but it isn’t your enemy either. Best wishes for making peace with your body’s fuel.

I love adding riced cauliflower as a base to many dishes. I find it´s an easy way to add a vegetable.
Great video! I am so excited for you. You seem more 'peaceful' and this was so encouraging!! I absolutely agree that weight loss is more mentally challenging then almost anything else!! Congratulations!
This is so helpful I have problems with portion control too but I always justify but it's healthy.
I don’t subscribe to many channels. Like ur honest journey
Thank you! Sometimes I think I’m crazy for doing all this publicly, but then I think that I would have appreciated this, so I keep going.
I have a lot of respect for you Bobbie. How you're sharing all the ups and downs. Everyone commenting with their opinions. It struck a chord with me when you were talking about the chili and had some left but said you were full. My eyes have always been bigger than my stomach. I'm learning a lot through your journey. Thank you 🙏
I'm so glad Sharon! My eyes are too, but they are starting to realize how small I can go and still be satisfied.
I love this channel and group!!
Bobbie you are on the right track! It pained me to se you beating yourself up before. Neilly seems great !
The brain is so hard to re train when changing your eating habits. You're doing great!
You are such a joy and inspiration!

My go to vegetable at lunch is cucumber slices. These don't require a salad dressing. I love salad but I hate fat free and low-fat salad dressing. My favorite snack is plain potato chips. During my dieting phases I would restrict and not eat these then end up binging on them. So I stopped dieting and restricting foods that I like and ate the potato chips. I do put these in a small bowl-I don't eat directly out of the bag. The first week I started doing this I ate chips every day. The second week it was a couple of times that week. The third week it took me two weeks to finish the bag-not family sized, normal bag. I don't even have chips in the house currently, not even interesting in eating them. But if I do want these, I am confident that I can eat these like a "normal" person.
Awesome testament to the fact that deprivation isn’t good long-term!
Hi Bobbie. Thanks for sharing your journey! You are doing a great job. Ironic how changing the way we think can change everything. Keep up the great work girl! You got this! 💙💜

Great video!
I love this! Leaning into what our BODY really wants! Avocado over sour cream because it tastes BETTER and not eating the sour cream because that's the way it's always served. And leaning into when our BODY is full. Not continue eating because it tastes good or because it's healthy or because it's there!!

I can relate! Thank you for being so real!
A trick I do with reheated vegetables is to cut them up into bite size pieces and heat them in a "broth" made of a little water, maybe a 1/2 tsp of real butter, salt, and pepper. If I am home and can reheat them on the stove top, not microwave, they are actually quite good. I know the butter adds some fat but a little butter goes a long way. I got the idea when I go to buffet or catering events, they always have the veges staying warm in a broth and they usually taste pretty good. I rotate steamed veges, salads, and cut up raw veges for lunch. Sometime my salads are only lettuce. Basic but it's something. Also, I like to chop up my lettuce fine so I can eat it with a spoon. I hate all the chewing at lunch when, like you, I just want some quick nourishment and move on with my life. Love your channel and your honesty.

I get the frozen mixed berries from Costco and I get the regular small containers of Chobani plain Greek yogurt and I put in 1/2 cup of the frozen berries in the plain Greek yogurt and it’s like ice cream!! Yummy! That’s what I have for lunch!
Hello
I have watched you for and I enjoy your journey . I as well have struggled forever.
I just started going to a natural physician. I love her , she add different natural vitamins and it truly has helped me . Don’t be so hard on yourself this is a lifetime adjustment and you are trying so hard and that makes it harder . Portion , at home you know measure and as far as restaurants, ask for a box when you order and put half of it away in the beginning :) you got this
I have been researching The Proper Human Diet and watching Dr. Ken Berry and the science behind it makes so much sense.
Getting the veggies in can be hard due to repetition. Costco has single serving packs of both guacamole and hummus. If there are cut up fresh veggies in the fridge (think outside the box, not just carrots and celery), easy to grab, plus it helps us get used to “normal” portions, be satisfied but not binge. Also, plain Greek yogurt blended with Ranch dressing mix or Mrs. Dash seasoning is a delicious dip. I know.... “chemicals” in the ranch mix, but let’s be realistic here. If you feel snack deprived, you will eventually binge. And it won’t be on veggies and dip either! This is the much healthier choice.
I prep 7 salads for the week. I eat a huge salad of lunch every day but you could make a big salad for the week. I out things in it that won’t make the lettuce wet-bell peppers, mini tomatoes, cabbage, cauliflower, broccoli, etc. then at the time you serve it, you can add cucumber or whatever. I always eat the salad first then any cooked foods. Just a suggestion that you . can try a variation.

Learning new habits is a process. I was not a big vegetable eater until I went to a whole food plant exclusive way of eating. I learned an all new way of cooking and I love my food! My cooking improved and the meals I make are full of flavor.
Yes, I finally started roasting vegetables. I literally had almost an entire meal of only brussel spouts for lunch yesterday. Delicious!
Like everything in life our eating journey isn't easy. I think you just always have to be focused and disciplined about food.....but a big NO to "diets" and SO happy you have come to that conclusion.....I find sticking to whole foods is the goal .....eat processed only rarely.
Yes, whole foods is KEY! I know it will take me a long time to get all the weight off, but I also know that I am changing and that is most important!
Well done Bobbie, you are getting it. The key is change your habits and yes this does take time. It will become second nature and you won't even think about it it will just become natural. Keep going. Remember don't beat yourself up if you do have more of something than you intended as long as you revert back to good habit.

Yes! Glad you are shifting away from dieting. Its a lifestyle. Blessings!
Kudos to you for taking this journey. I’m still learning to adjust my thoughts about food as well.
It's hard to change, but it can be done. I'm still a long way off to having this be my go-to thinking, but at least I'm on my way. I'm glad you are as well.
So glad for you that you are trying something different. Praying for you!

I totally have your exact problem! You described me perfectly. I lost 80 pounds a couple of years ago (keto), got off my meds, could be a lot more active! All good stuff but I realized that I still have this “large portion” mentality and that’s my whole problem! Until I turn that thought process around, I will continue to struggle! You hit the nail on MY head for sure! Thank you so much for sharing your journey!
Neily has been so helpful in helping me change my thoughts on this. I truly thought the ONLY way to lose was to be on a diet of some sort. Now, I eat whole real food (minimal processed) and I eat what I want as long as I am hungry and stop when I am satisfied. It's a life changing thought process.
I put 122grams of pumpkin purée in my Chobani zero sugar yogurt with about 20grams of casein protein powder. Sometimes I add sugar free pumpkin syrup. I weigh and measure everything because my guesses are way off. I track all
my calories because I am not good at guessing what is appropriate. Also, I don’t think my husband should change the way he eats because I am changing what I eat.
I stopped dieting in my late 30's...one day I was just DONE!! I decided to cut a few things out..soda, fast food and eat what I want. Also started taking the dog for a walk every night. I lost 90 pounds in five years and kept it off..I am 56. I eat what I want stop when I'm full..don't beat myself up for anything. I love food...I love life!! I feel diets make you fat..I would get real thin then gain it all back plus 10..I probably did that 3-5 times..what do I know!!??
I love cucumbers at lunch with a little Cilantro yogurt salad dressing- delish

So happy for you, Bobbie, that you’re feeling more in control of your food and enjoying it more! I love Wegman’s organic whole milk greek yogurt. (I thought the low fat was yuck! 😊) I’ll have that with almonds and lots of blueberries. The blueberries are full of fiber and if we don’t have fresh I’ll use frozen and they’re good too!

If you put a couple of drops of lemon on the avocado it will not brown.
On the topic of weighing yourself. I read that it was best to weigh yourself everyday, write the number down and by the end of a week you take the average.
Ok...I'll try that!
Omg. Why have I never thought of avocado on chili? Sounds so good! Appreciate the mind place you are in right now...
And thank you for sharing your process in the journey.
If you want more vegetables, make a hearty vegetable soup. It really fills out a meal.
Chobani Zero Sugar is my favorite yogurt!
Sounds like you are on the right track now. If one is eating healthy (mainly) yet still not losing weight, then one is simply eating more calories than needed. Years of ignoring when your brain told you that you are full has dulled that message and it takes time to retrain yourself. It will be surprising how little food we actually need compared to what we used to eat once you retrain yourself. The types of food one eats and the exercise one gets are entirely for the health of our bodies-bones, muscles, heart, etc. Overeating, even healthy food, causes weight gain, not the occasional cookie or Cheeto. But that occasional cookie/Cheeto will trigger the brain craving for more so be prepared to fight those cravings. That does not mean you can never have them-just realize what is coming. And that fight also will get easier the less you feed the brain with the crave triggering foods. You are learning-good for you!

@@MindfulMidlife not a problem. I figured it was a scam and didn’t open. Thanks for the alert. The scam is reported.
I eat good food 90% of the time but I have no control over portions! I love to eat! I have to get that under control as well.
It's so hard isn't it? It has really helped me to keep thinking that I can eat more of it later or tomorrow. Slowing down has also helped.
Love raw veggies with lunch. Fav are the small peppers cut up along with mini carrots.
When I have them pre-cut, I love them as well. That's the key...I have to pre-cut them or else I won't eat them.
Cut up veggies for the week. Put them in mason jars with water or air tight containers. Or make salad jars. Super easy.
I just love this train of thought!

I cut up vegetables, and eat those with a sandwich...I like that, use can use sweet peppers, carrots, celery, green onion, green beans and anything else you like. I put them in a container with cold water. Change the water every few days.
Bobbi, you're not alone re: potion control and eating too much. I've struggled with it for years. It's hard to stop when I've had enough. I often go from satisfied to stuffed. Thanks for being open with your journey!
Neily says to slow down my eating. I'm trying to do that more, but it is hard!
Faga Greek 2% yogurt is the best! Add date syrup for low glycemic sweetness and granola and its perfect! Try it!
Hi Bobbie, I was put on tablets that I was told would make me gain weight. I became very conscious of what I was eating. I weighed food, denied myself food and ate diet foods that were low fat or had sweeteners. I put on a lot of weight and constantly thought about my next meal. I came off the tablets for a while and when I went back on them I made a decision not to weigh myself or consciously diet. I have put on a few pounds this time, as opposed to the stones I put on last time. I try to eat whole foods and have sugar rather than sweeteners. I’m astounded in the difference that not dieting has made. Good luck with your journey. Ps. Tomatoes are my go to lunch vegetable, or I have fruit for pudding, and eat my pudding first 😀
Hi Bobbie I'm so glad you are not stressing over WW point system and beating yourself up😊😊😊😊 I have an idea for your vegetable at lunch. What if you make a big salad or cut up veggies for a couple of days in advance then you don't have to think about it. It's there and ready for you.
CONSISTENCY OVER PERFECTION, saw this on another post and it really resonates with me.
Family snacks? I buy them what they enjoy but I don't care for 🤣
I hope this works for you where the other things you have tried have not. Perhaps this is what you need and what you will stick with. Best wishes.
I'm praying and working towards that. It seems the most balanced and doable since it's nothing that I have to stop - I eat like this for life! Thanks Linda!
Good series!
At 53 I have also put on weight I feel it's getting the right portion not what we eat but how much
Yes Bobbie wow what you said in your video here....i am eatting good food....i am but i am clearly eatting too much food...well that is me in a nutshell too!
I love the Chobani Zero Sugar. It has added protein less carbs actually losing LBS…Yea!! Low carbs/not keto

@@MindfulMidlife All I wrote was “Excellent.”
♡ WOOT WOOT!! Exciting!
I'm from Europe and every time I'm in the US I'm surprised by the size of the food portions. These portions are much larger than ours. Xx
Yes, sadly Americans often equate large portions as a good deal.
This is the key, eat everything your heart desires, but with MODERATION, even if you have a taste, don’t deprive yourself.

Honesty, the think the only foods that should be "free" are vegetables. I dont agree with the new WW plans in the last handful of years. I loved their exchange plan back in the 80's and the original points plan where you counted everything.
Bobbie i am very glad you got a nutritionist. I did the same this summer and it acctually did help me. I have not been emplementing what i have learnt though. Just wondering if she sugested any vitamins and or supplements for you to take? Mine gave me a list.🤔
I’m the registered dietitian nutritionist helping Bobbie. And no I have not recommended any supplements.
@@NeilyonNutrition Thank you for the reply....my nutritionist recomeded pro biotics and digestive enzimes...which i usually have been forgetting to take...i am going to go back to my notes for i still struggle with knowing true hunger reather than head hunger.
I eat healthy but I enjoy cookies with my tea in the afternoon and sometimes in the evening, I know I shouldn’t eat the cookies, but plain tea is not appealing to me.
I think it's fine to have the cookies as long as you aren't overdoing it. Save room in your stomach for them. Nothing should be off limits.
@@MindfulMidlife That’s my problem…they’re so good I have trouble stopping.
I can’t do plain yougurt, it has to be vanilla😉I’m the same , I do not believe my family should have to change their eating habits for me either 😊 Great information, great video.💜💜💜
THANK YOU! You are my people! 😂
I love Fage plain Greek yogurt (2% or 5%) with berries and a sprinkle of nut. More fat and protein than granola. If I have the berries I don’t mind the plain yogurt and Fage is so rich tasting. I did transition from drizzling honey to none at all.
Instead of thinking about adding side veg for lunch, could you add extra veg to the original chili?

I did not send this - please DO NOT RESPOND! PLEASE REPORT! I would never use Telegram and I am NOT HAVING A GIVEAWAY!
I’m the same as you with trying to leaving a little on my plate, but end up eating it, because it’s not enough to save. 🤣 I have baby carrots in the fridge, but still need to cut them in half, so the bag hasn’t been opened yet. I like salads but so time consuming to make them. 🤷♀️ I have the time, but just need to think about doing it ahead, because I wait until I’m too hungry, and want to eat NOW. 😂 I’ve been making the turkey bacon too, and cook it in a little Avacado oil to get crisp. I make it for breakfast, or lunch, with eggs, and low carb wrap. I never get tired of it.
Happy Halloween ! 🎃🎃
The absolute key is prepping so it's easy to grab the veggies.
Handful of spinach in between the chili and potatoes. I do this a lot. If I have a hot dish like left over soup and want to add vegetables I just grab some spinach. Done.
That is such a good idea. We always have baby spinach in our refrigerator. Thanks Heather!
I add vanilla extract to my plain Greek yogurt and stevia, game changer 😋
Ohhh, that's a good idea! Thanks Lisa!
@@MindfulMidlife you're welcome!
Lemon or almond extract are also yummy. Yes-game changers! 😋
@@lesliedelmonico4730 yum, never thought about lemon...will def try this!
Hi Bobby. It’s Halloween. I am working towards not eating a fun size candy bar. After all, I know what they taste like. Fighting this feeling all day. 🎃
Ugh! I know what you mean and if I eat ONE, I'll eat 10! I try to buy only the ones I won't want to eat.
The only Greek yogurt I like is Costco's Greek yogurt. Its the only one that doesn't have a slimy texture to me. Throw in a handful of fruit, like strawberries or raspberries, and top with between 1/8 and 1/4 of a granola you like. For lunch veggies, I buy frozen veggies from Costco. Their stir fry mix is great. Throw a frozen handful into a microwave safe bowl, add a tablespoon of water, cover and microwave for 3 minutes or so. I like it with low sodium soy sauce and serve it with some chicken nuggets or some other protein.
Ok...I'm going to Costco soon! Thanks Milady!
Steamed broccoli or green beans (from frozen) have been my vegies since the price of lettuce has been outrageous.
I feel like your different way of thinking now is going to serve you well on this journey! You said you don’t want to speak ill of WW-but don’t forget, their plan is a product to purchase. They teach a point system that keeps the customer in their WW universe (for fees) but does not teach about healthy portion size or actual nutrition. And as you realized, it’s not really sustainable in the long term. I think what you’re doing now is great! Also, you look beautiful-I wish I had your skin!
Yes, WW is a business and that is never to be forgotten. I do think they teach nutrition and if someone is going to be on a commercial diet, I'd encourage WW. I also think they do need to emphasis portion much more. Having food that is zero points does not really help. Thank you for your encouragement Tracy!
Good Morning. Turkey bacon, yes it is not the best; is there a Kroger in your area? Kroger has a "Simple Truth" brand turkey bacon that is better....not great, but better.

Mason jar salads are good for lunch w/ a protien
That was the problem I had with WW! I could easily over eat! And when the points would carry over to the next day. They are still calories!

What about baby carrots or sliced red bell pepper and humus?
Absolutely...when I spend some time pre-cutting veggies it makes a huge different. Humus...not my favorite! 😜
Portion control no soda.

I don’t eat sugar free food or fat free dairy. I would rather have a little bit of delicious real food than a lot of modified food.
I did not send this - please DO NOT RESPOND! PLEASE REPORT! I would never use Telegram and I am NOT HAVING A GIVEAWAY!
I’m so sorry to say this but it still looks like you’re restricting things. I don’t think the fact that I eat chobani yogurt that isn’t sugar free is bad. I just don’t think I could enjoy that sugar free one! I tried it and I want to enjoy my food a bit! Especially since having Covid I can’t taste a whole lot. I used to be Weight Watchers leader! Are you eating anything that you are just enjoying? Again not trying to be nasty, this comes from a place of concern! I’m trying to be healthy myself.

I have seen several videos that say WW is getting ready to revamp the zero point foods. So maybe they are thinking the same thing!!
Hmmm, interesting. I wonder what they will do now?
I’ve heard it will become more like Freestyle/Blue plan. I just can’t do points, but I do find it helpful to have limits. I do a “rough” calorie count of what I expect to eat for the day in the morning based on my tastes and what’s available. One thing that has really helped me is to slightly reduce the amount of food I take like half a sandwich, little size bowl of chili….Eat that much, then wait a bit and go back for more if I’m not filled up. Also, regarding family members with snacks, etc. I’m with you. Nothing should be off limits to them because of me. I just usually ask myself if that’s what I really want, if so I measure the serving out, track the calories and go on down the road. But I try to have something lower calorie that would be better for me and serve my weight loss purpose better that I can substitute. ( low cal hot chocolate, apple with a bit of peanut butter?) it’s not giving the Cheetos up so much as stopping and making a conscious decision and giving yourself a limit instead of eating half a bag of them and not even remembering eating them. It allllll takes time and practice, at least for me it does😂
I don't like avocados 🥑. They sure hype them up. Wish I liked them, but I just don't. 🤣
I think you think way too much about your meal planning. The eggs and bacon did it go with the chili and rice? Have you some salad vegetables already cut in containers and then you can pull lettuce tomato cucumber at lunchtime and have a small salad. Avocados are so healthy for you they have the good kind of oil that our bodies need.🥑😊 you are doing fine and it’s so good that you’re eating healthy.
I'm actually not thinking about food anywhere near as much. Remember, you are seeing a snapshot of a couple moments throughout a couple weeks. Also, my breakfast was the eggs and bacon. The chili and rice was my lunch.
Yes...I absolutely need to pre-cut the veggies - it's key to me keeping it balanced with protein, carbs and veggies. Thanks Joyce!
