I wanted to talk a little about my diet. It's not a particularly healthy diet. I literally count only calories. Not fat, not sodium... It means that if I want chocolate and ice cream one day, I can have it without cheating on my plan. Actually, I have chocolate and ice cream a lot on my plan! But before I lost 100 lbs, I would look at the thin people around me and trying to figure out why they could eat chocolate and I had to eat carrots.
That's when I discovered the numbers. Keep your calories under control, and your weight will come down. The biggest thing it did for me was take away the diet guilt. 'OMG, I ate a doughnut. I am a bad person. I will never lose weight' - talk about a self fulfilling prophecy! Now, it's 'I ate a doughnut, I'd better skip lunch'. Period. You know what else? When you do that, you get pretty hungry by suppertime, and you learn not to do it again!
I've named my Belgian waffle maker 'Leopold'.
It's easier to stay on a diet when you are having fun!
