Changing the rules

 August 10, 2023

Spent some time introspecting, as I do, about this weight loss thing. And it's come to this: I have to make it POSSIBLE to do on a daily basis. 

Here are my most up to date rules; 


This blog is my journal.

Day 3 - Mediterranean diet and herbal medicine

 July 31 I had to kill some time today so I looked into the mediterranean diet, since most of the internet is convinced it's the best one.  Yesterday's dinner with mom and dad proved a little different. She didnt talk about the dieting or the cheetos (although we did have them) but is focused on dad's upcoming hip surgery.  Despite that, I still had both a hamburger and a hotdog, chips and cheetos. And rootbeer.  And seconds on the cheetos because they were so good and had been on my mind.  So it's more about remembering how good they were and wanting more of the bad stuff from what I can tell.  I read up on the mediterranean diet (not as in to lose weight but to eat healthy, diet as in what you eat not weight loss.. am I making sense?)

Do you want another number? I'm 5'2".  You might look at that and think hmm, 160 may not be low enough. And it may not. But I want to see how I look at that weight and decide if its worth it to go lower. I am going solely on how I feel at that weight. Because I've gone down to the 140s and I didnt feel well. I'm not going to sustain that weight if I feel sick.  I'm going to go get ready for a visit with Mom and Dad now. They've also had weight issues, the ups and downs, on a perpetual diet of some kind or other as far...
