I Wish I Knew How to LOSE You--The Weight Loss Thread (check first post)
Jeff Wrangler:
I must laugh at myself. I really am my own worst enemy.
All this talk of eliminationg carbs, and what has my weekend been like so far? One carb after another! :laugh:
I was doing my weekly grocery shopping after work yesterday, and on an impulse, in the prepared meal section I picked up a pasta dish to try for my supper last night. (I'm sure there was nothing wrong with it, but I just really didn't care for it, so I won't buy that particular dish again.)
Then today I was at farmers' market, and at one of the stands where I usually shop, they had Pennsylvania Dutch chicken pot pie (not a pie, but a stew of chicken and large egg noodles). I hadn't had any for a while, so I bought about a pint of it for supper this evening.
So here I am, one carb after another! :laugh:
Well, one thing that has come over me this winter, as I begin to creep up on my 55th birthday, is a feeling that I'm tired of obsessing over diet, weight, and also exercise. I'm just tired of fussing over all this stuff. I'll try to keep my weight from rising too far and too fast, but I'm just tired of worrying about this stuff. It's all just been a matter of vanity, anyway. :-\

Jeff, from what I've seen of you, it's not something you should be worrying a lot about, anyway. :) :-*

Well, thank you, that's kind of you to say, but remember that you haven't seen me in over five years. ;) The weight and the waistline have steadily increased with the passing years, and losing has grown proportionally more difficult. These days I'm tipping my bathroom scale at just under 165 lbs., which, by government standards for a man of my height, is definitely overweight, though, thankfully, at least not morbidly obese.
Since I'm short (for a man), bald, hairy, and nearsighted, it was formerly a matter of pride that at least I wasn't overweight; that was part of the "vanity" I mentioned in my previous post.

I'm on a 40 day "Daniel Fast" with my church and so far I've lost 15 pounds. The Daniel Fast says we should do as Daniel did when he was in the palace of the King (I can't remember how to spell the King's name) eat only fruits, veggies and drink nothing but water. Daniel didn't want his people to eat the fatty foods perpared by the King's cooks. The fast should only last 21 days, but my church wants to go for twice that long! I've modified it to include nuts, and I haven't been strict about following it. I will say giving up certain foods and sugar has caused me to feel so much better and I am losing. I think I'll incorporate meatless days from now on, even when the fast ends on Easter Sunday.

Congrats on your success, darlin'!!! ;D
