Thinking About Food
By Anne Keckler | August 12, 2008
So I’m trying to lose the weight I put on during my absence from the gym. I’ve been reading up on nutrition and weight loss, and just trying to stay motivated to eat fewer calories than I burn. It’s never fun.
One thing you’ve gotta know about me is that I love food. I love the variety of tastes and textures. And I particularly like certain combinations of foods. So while I could have a low-fat veggie pizza and some water, I just wouldn’t be satisfied if I didn’t have soda with my pizza. Likewise, a peanut butter and jelly sandwich just calls out for chocolate milk!
So right now I’m just limiting portion sizes, for the most part. And giving up dessert entirely. I know it’s not forever, and one day, when my weight is closer to where I’d like it to be, I can occasionally have a brownie.
But there’s no way I’d eat oatmeal and skinless chicken breast all day long. I don’t care how good it would make me look!
