Dieting

Our so-called health club (the word "wellness" is a no-no in this household) has all the treadmills in use these days, as post holiday dieters try to take off the seasonal six pounds. Last year it took about six months for me to do so, and this year I resolved not to gain over the holiday, and somehow I didn't.

This dieting business isn't as tricky as it would seem. On my diet, there are NO forbidden foods, although there are foods such as French fries where portion control is the word of the day. On my diet, there is only one requirement. Eat less. No other rules. If I don't feel like eating breakfast, I don't. Keep at least two meals small.

Smaller portions, eat less. Stay active.
This is so liberating. No more counting #%^* points, no banned foods, no really sucky non-fat half and half or any disgusting "diet foods." I eat anything I like, only less.

We always try to eat so-called healthy, with plenty of veggies, fruits and whole grains, and meat as flavoring (not always, but sometimes).

So liberating. Want to throw things in the air and click my heels. Last year's winter coat is looser. Just eat less.
Zowie! And I'm not starving!
