ME AND MY DIET

Here I am putting all these good ole fattening recipes on here and trying to be on a diet. lol.  Our health dept. is having a diet work study that they had acoss the water and was a sucess. They chose our area to do this study in the U.S.A. It is a 10 month program. So we have some time to lose some weight. It is a slow thing to do. I know how hard the Biggest Loser's work to get that fat off. It is harder than anyone thinks. But if you just lose 2 lbs.. a week it is better that putting on weight. I was not a heavy eater just don't watch the fat count or the chocolate. lol. That is my problem. I was never one to sit down and eat two big cheeseburgers or a whole pizza or a 2 liter of soda. I just loved chocolate and could make each meal on it. I also love chips and cheese dips. That is another problem I have. But I don't go overboard on these but just eat two much of them in one week.
 My sister-in-law and daughter and me got chose to be in this group. I hope we don't let them down.
 It is not hard to diet at all if you can just stay away from all those resturants and all that pizza which is my favorite food.
I have learned a lot about dieting from this. I now know that you can not starve and lose weight. That has always been my problem when trying to diet. I still cannot drink all of the water that they want us to drink. I  have a long way to go to get this weight off.
 When you are a southern cook you don't really look how much of this and that is in a recipe. But when you get older and you start having issues with your health then you know it is time to change your life style.
 I have been feeling so much better by just laying off of all that chocolate. To me that is as bad as coming down off drugs. I will be putting on diet recipes and tips on here so maybe someone else can lose some weight also.
 Be sure and check out the diet tips.
We learn a lot of new things and a lot of simple tricks to do with diet food. Most of all to lose weight is the fat count but there are around 4 different types of fat. Carbs. should be limited to 15 grams a day and when you love sweets even tho it may be diet that is not much to eat at all. So just check out my blog to see how we are all doing and for new diet tips and recipes. They are listed on the left hand side. When the blog opens up it will not have all of them. You may have to go to the month to see what I have put on. It just list maybe 3 recipes when it opens but always go to the left bottom side and it will show what has been put on for the month.
