Will be back

Major life disruption.  Lost a few more pounds; stress-related only (the job now is to eat, not to NOT eat.)  It's that bad.  Things may possibly be OK, but that remains to be seen.  Will be back, I hope and expect, in future months.

Just my opinion

Pardon me while I complain, because you're going to hear a lot of it over the next month.  This blog is for me; I complain to get it out; read it if you want; click on to some other site and don't come back if you do not.

I'll keep this particular ramble short.  This is based on my experience.  People vary, and I am not especially big (bigger people have reported different experiences and all sorts of people have reported bull$hit accounts otherwise...)  Here goes:  While people love to obsess over what they're going to eat while they're on a diet, and entire magazines are devoted to it - nay, entire industries - and zillions of dollars are spent by people trying to buy an easy way out - well... if you're going to lose weight, while you still get to eat *something* each day (lest you die of starvation)  - you'd better get used to basically not eating.

In other words, fancy it up all you want by talking about what you're going to eat.  In the end, it's a whole lot of NOT eating.  It's about not eating.  (I just repeated myself.)  You don't eat a lot more than you do eat.

It sucks; it's not fun; it works.  It's something that has to be endured.  Show me the person who says, "...and I was never hungry" and I'll call that person a liar or someone who has not lost any weight.

Maybe it's different for others- whatever - but at my weight, to take a pound off means eating about 1/4 of what I would like to eat, and probably about 1/3 of what I would normally eat.

Over and out.

Calories today:  1,427, and I could easily eat double that and not feel that I overindulged.
