The Importance of Counting Calories
One of the most embarrassing situations
that I've experienced in my life was losing weight,
then regaining the weight.   I'd drop five pounds,
then gain back ten.
I'd drop
ten pounds, then regain twenty - and so forth.
So when
I lost over 100 pounds, I made a promise to myself that
I would never ever never regain the weight again.   First
of all, after losing that amount of weight - it would
have been just too embarrassing to deal with.   Twenty
pounds is one thing - but over 100 - well, that's quite
another.
Another
aspect is that once I learned the proper way to maintain
my weight - I learned it was very doable. Are there times
when I want to cut loose?   Sure!   Do I?   Heck
no!!   And I never will again.
Will I ever
have a donut, a cupcake, pudding or cheesecake?   You
bet!   And that's the glory of counting calories.
  Simply add up what your body uses each day, then
stop eating.
It is difficult?   Yes, it can
be at times, but when I remember where I came from -
as well as the responsibility that I feel towards my
readers at Thin Thin and Diet Bites, there is no food
capable of tempting me back into the land where I came
from.
How irresponsible
it would be to regain the weight when my readers have
such faith in me.   Unless I am able to follow my
own recommendations, and be a living example, what substance
could others gather from my knowledge and advice?
I learned
much along my journey - which I have passed along to
my good readers throughout the years. What I have
experienced is what I also desire for them to experience
- a healthy weight, a healthy diet, healthy activity
and a healthy mind set.
There is
no other recipe for a healthy life that comes close
to this one.
