Yesterday, when I got ready for the funeral ..I put on my dress clothes! It has been a long time since I wore them. Tight around the waist....so today I start my diet. I used to be tall and thin...then I quit smoking and gained a huge amount of weight very quickly. Come to find out it was not the quit smoking that caused the weight gain....it was a under active thyroid. Now I am on thyroid medicine...but the weight is not coming off as fast as it went on......so again I will try another weight loss idea! Lossing weight at my age is not an easy task.....
#1 I love food
#2 Weight just does not come off as quickly as it used to
#3 My husband loves food too! (but he doesn't gain weight like me...unfair)
So it is a no win situation at my house. Today is the day!
The first thing I am going to cut down on is my coffee with half n half! I figure if I stop drinking half n half there will go about 1000 calories a day. I love coffee and drink it all day long..loaded with half n half. So today I am having 1 cup with half n half then ..I will keep adding coffee until I am drinking black coffee. I'll tell you how it worked tomorrow. Cutting down on half n half and also eating half of every meal I think ...... that should do the trick!
Again we will see.........:>)!
I'm not going to weigh myself...I am going to use my dress pants as a guide to my weight lose or gain! That should make it a fun weigh in each week! I am going to try on my dress pants to see if they fit any better! When they no longer will stay up....that day I am going shopping for a new dress outfit! This just might work....but again I will keep you posted.
When I was thin if you would of told me people treat heaver people different...I would of said "You're nuts"....but it is true. People give you a look like you know you should lose weight! You are treated different in the work force and in the shopping center! Especially the grocery store! I am no longer working ...retired for almost 2 years. But I did the job thin and I did the job heavy.....and let me tell you when you are heavy new bosses give you the impression ...you could do a little more. Maybe they thought because I was heavy I did not work as hard as a thin person...who knows! But all I know...I do as much as I used to....only now I am carrying around a whole lot more weight! Now you would think that would make me lose weight! But it doesn't! :>)
Tomorrow maybe I can get myself to at least discuss exercise! :>)
Tomorrow is Monday Music Moves Me......it is a fantastic blog hop of music! and it is Halloween! I have a really creepy song picked out and I'm ready to go on Monday! The song gives me the creeps every time I watch the video!
