I have come to believe that the human condition has always experienced feast and famine, which is why most of us are really challenged when it comes to staying on any sort of diet.
In the course of humans living on this planet, a steady food supply has been problematical. History is resplendant with stories of famine among the ancient Egyptians and 7 years of feast followed by 7 years of famine is a story told in every Sunday School. We remember our ‘catchup soup’ college days. Expanding and contracting our waistline is what we naturally do. Isn’t that why they invented elastic waistbands?
Until Now.
“Maintaining” a weight loss isn’t that big a deal, IF you keep on top of it and ‘plan’ the times you stray. The holidays are approaching and great — as opposed to just ‘good food’ — will be the rule at our home for those special meals. The key is that all of the other meals will be portioned controlled.
Interestingly enough, I recieved an email with a link to the New Jenny Craig Commercial to be launched next week… very nice… I think it works…. and hopefully it will help Vallerie and Kristie welcome more deserving men in their lives.
I still have about 4 more lbs to my goal.
