AnotherDayAnotherDiet

Diet–it’s a four-letter word, isn’t it?  But in our obesity-prone society, it’s become a necessity.

Eating is so much fun.  No longer just a way to sustain life, eating is socializing, comforting, career-furthering, boredom-busting, and so much more.  No wonder we’re fat!

Combine that with inactivity.  We’re stuck behind our computer screens and steering wheels, not exercising much more than our eyeballs as we look back forth across the screen or through traffic.

So yet another diet is in order.

I was always a skinny kid and it wasn’t until I reached middle age that the pounds caught up with me.  I followed Kirstey’s and Valerie’s advice and called Jenny.  Jenny Craig worked for me and I lost 40 pounds, ending up at 115 pounds.  Yippee!  But here I now am with about 60 pounds to lose!  I guess it didn’t work that good.

But now I have big motivation–a summer wedding for my daughter about six or seven months away.  Yikes! I don’t want to be fat in my daughter’s wedding pictures.  So it’s time to get serious.

I’m not going back to Jenny Craig.  Sure, it worked, but the food wasn’t that tasty and it was expensive for what I got.  I want to follow a good diet and finally stop eating junk and overeating.  Plus, I need to get moving–literally.

I need a plan for eating and activity.  I’ll be checking into what works and start following it.  Why not follow it with me?
