This morning I weighed in at 185lbs. This means I have "shed" 29lbs since 2009. What's my secret? I EAT LESS. But my weight-watching goes far beyond this. I eat 3 meals a day and rarely "PIG OUT." All winter my treat has been microwave popcorn.
I rarely drink sodas. I like high-sugared orange juice and supplement it with Allen's Sweet Cider from their mill. I love 1% Low Fat milk. I don't drink as much water as I should.
Ice cream has been a 'No-No" all winter. I try to look at the sugar content of drinks.
I feel I have conquered being obese. Losing weight is cognitive. Being "fat - dumb & happy" can prove to be anathema in the long run. FIBER-ONE cereal works. While I love my sweets I know "when to say when."
No alcohol since 1985; no cigarettes since you know when. I think I have earned my grade of "A". I give lots of credit to Sue Burchman at the Worcester VA MOVE program. Sue taught me how to read the labels.
With summer coming I think it's a good time to lose weight. Don't you?
