how to lose weight

Check serving size before opening the package. Some of those packages that seem like they are a single serving (and are for most of us) are actually 2 or 3 servings. It’s devious trickery on the part of food manufacturers but completely legal so always “read it before you eat it.”

Today is my birthday! That means I get to have BIRTHDAY CAKE! Ever since I can remember I’ve requested the same cake for my birthday – angel food cake. As a kid I didn’t care that it was fat free and a low calorie dessert. I just liked its name and loved how it tasted.

Can’t live without your daily mocha latte? Order it with skim, soy or almond milk to reduce calories; ask for half the normal amount of the regular chocolate syrup instead of going for the sugar free stuff that doesn’t taste as good; and skip the whipped cream on top.

Do you want to lose weight? I know I sure do but even though I’m constantly saying it, I’m not always doing something about it. I seem to be something of a “bag of hot air.” Wishing and hoping don’t make it happen though.

Go to any local natural foods or organic store (or “hippie store” as my son calls them) and you’ll see slim and healthy looking people stocking up on fresh fruits, vegetables, whole grains, raw nuts, veggie burgers, veggie meat-like crumbles and tofu. The logical thing to think is that being a vegetarian means a person will lose weight without having to “diet” right? That’s what I used to think, but sadly I was wrong.

Do you remember being a kid and being told to “not put so much butter on your potatoes” because “it’s bad for you,” and to put the potato chips away because they’re “bad for you” and that you didn’t need to have any ice cream because it was “bad for you.” I heard those exact words more times than I can count.

My son is a chef and he’s fond of saying “everything is better with bacon.” I almost agree but edit that statement to say that “ALMOST everything tastes better with bacon” because I tried chocolate covered bacon at the State Fair this year and was not a fan. But, after starting Weight Watchers I cut way back on my bacon consumption despite my Weight Watchers leader stating on several occasions that 1 slice of regular bacon is only 1 point. Then I discovered Oscar Mayer Center Cut Bacon. According to the nutrition information on the nearly empty package I currently have, 6 slices of the delicious stuff is 3 Weight Watchers points. That’s bacon heaven to me!

Last week I wrote about how I survive Thanksgiving dinner (and the rest of the day) without gaining weight. I wrote that little ditty thinking that if I wrote it, I would remember to do everything I did last year to get through Thanksgiving Day, and the rest of the weekend, and not gain weight.

Walking is a normal part of most people’s everyday lives. At least it used to be until most of us got so dependant on our motorized modes of transportation that it became normal to hop in our vehicles and drive 2 blocks to the gas station for a cup of coffee because who has the time or inclination to walk there and back? Walking is so normal to our bodies and can be a great aid in our weight loss efforts.

I’m pretty sure I could write a 600 page book on the best ways “to not lose weight” and how to “diet and gain weight and be a yo-yo” in less time than it takes to inhale a box of Twinkies. You name the diet or diet pill and I’ve probably tried it.
