healthy is just a state of mind. I am healthy. I eat when I really think it's time to eat. I don't eat just becuase the clock says it's such and such time. When I get hungry, I grab a small apple or banana. As far as meals, I am not hungry in the mornnigs after I take my phentermine and I am so busy getting the three little ones fed, I don't eat. After I get them down for nap time, I eat a small snack (fruit.) At dinner, I make 4 kid plates worth of food and I eat one of them. It sounds worse than it really is. I just don't set my life around a clock or having three "meals" a day anymore. We have all been taught that you either have to eat three (HUGE) portions of food a day or 5 small meals a day. I say eat when your body says it's hungry and STOP the second (I MEAN THE SECOND) you feel full. Drink your water and you will not feel as hungry. That's all I am saying. I just changed my idea of what having "a meal" looked like. It's all mind set. It really is. I changed my lifestyle and how I look at food.
