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!
