Killing Time
Aug 26, 2009
Since I can't afford the surgery any time soon I'm going back to the old fashioned way of losing and have made some new and conscience aware changes. For one, I am only eating off of sandwich plates. This means it looks like more food to my eye (which I'm hoping tricks my brain), and two I am taking smaller bites and setting my fork down after each bite. I am also waiting until I've cleared all the food out of my mouth before taking another bite. Fork down and repeat LOL. I've also made a commitment to a friend to work out after work (we have a small gym at work) for 30 minutes at least 4 times a week. I've lost a total of 12 pounds this month so far. I'll just keep doing these things and add stuff to my regime as time goes on. I have a PPO and so I have to put down about 2K out of pocket for the surgery and right now it's just not doable.Wish me luck!
