Crazy title, I know. It’s usually when we decide to diet we do it in the kitchen. True? We paste things on the refrigerator or on the calendar. We start on a Monday and by Wednesday we are thinking of starting again on the next Monday. We sign up for Tops(take off pounds sensibly) or Weight Watchers or we buy the premade meals, that fixes us our next meal. So many programs available and so many schemes.
To lose weight you must decide you will change what you eat. Counting calories only goes so far. Drinking shakes three times a day gets old quick. You must change your present diet.
Do not guilt yourself! Take one day at a time. One meal at a time.
Tools that can help you
1. A day planner/journal to keep track of your day, your emotions, not to write what you ate or didn’t eat that day. You can journal your thoughts, triggers, what you like about food. Whatever you feel like writing. This is for you only, no one else has to read this.
2. A measuring food scale- good to weigh.meat and foods.“>
3. Measuring cups and measuring spoons-I like colorful items. Just makes me happy. A nice tumbler to drink water or coffee out of.

2015, the Federal Trade Commission released their new rules for Disclosure Compliance. These rules are set in place to ensure that readers or viewers of web media (blogs, Youtube videos, etc.) know if the blogger/presenter is sponsored, endorsed, or partnered with a different company. In blog terms, the readers need to know if the blogger is making money by sharing a link or product.
In compliance with the FTC guidelines, please assume the following about links and posts on this site: Any/all of the links YOURWEBSITE.com are affiliate links of which I receive a small compensation from sales of certain items.
What are affiliate links?
Purchases are made on external affiliate company websites: When a reader clicks on an affiliate link located on .com to purchase an item, the reader buys the item from the seller directly (not from YOURWEBSITE.com). Amazon and/or other companies pay YOURWEBSITE.com a small commission or other compensation for promoting their website or products through their affiliate program.
Prices are exactly the same for you if your purchase is through an affiliate link or a non-affiliate link. You will not pay more by clicking through to the link.
I use two main types of affiliate programs:
1. Amazon affiliate links.
YOURWEBSITE.com is a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for sites to earn advertising fees by advertising and linking to Amazon properties including, but not limited to, amazon.com. Amazon offers a small commission on products sold through their affiliate links.
If a blogger links to an Amazon product (with a special code for affiliates embedded in the link), and a reader places an item in their “shopping cart” through that link within 24 hours of clicking the link, the blogger gets a small percentage of the sale. Amazon links are not “pay per click.” If you click on the product link and stay around Amazon and purchase something else, however, I will get commission on that sale.
Anytime you see a link that looks like astore.com/… or amazon.com… it can be assumed that it is an Amazon affiliate link.
2. Product affiliate links.
These affiliate links work the same way: if you click the link and buy the product, then the blogger gets a percentage of the sale or some other type of compensation. Things like e-book bundles, e-courses, and online packages are usually affiliate links, as well. Again, prices are not different if you use these affiliate links. You will not pay more by clicking through to the link. These links are not “pay per click”, unless otherwise denoted.
What about sponsored content?
I do not write sponsored posts. I want to bring you real, unbiased information. However, if a post is sponsored by a company and it is a paid sponsorship, I will disclose this clearly in the beginning of the post.
