Okay so I'm a little late. Happy Holidays! Today I am looking at just getting some thoughts in writing.
So... Yeah, New Years resolutions...
On December 26th I went to the doctor, setting up as a new patient to discuss my asthma, and for the first time in my life I had a doctor talk to me about my weight. I know I'm thirty and getting older by the day, I know that for the last five or so years I have been heavier than I have wanted to be, but I thought that was just my vanity. Turns out tipping 200 lbs is when a 5'3" female needs to stop eating.
Now the Doc didn't put it like that, she delicately suggested I give up Soda, drink mostly water and increase my activity. That is a tactful "Dear you need to go on a Diet." Which isn't a real problem, its easy enough to lose weight, or simple but not easy.. For I am a foody. I love to cook and enjoy rich foods, the more flavor the better. Now my portions have never been large, so figuring out the right Diet for me has been fun.
Prepackaged Diets won't work, if I don't enjoy what I'm eating I won't eat.
My doctor outright told me that Fad Diets have really bad rebound rate, with people generally regaining the weight and then some.
So here is what I am looking at, I want to marry a few programs. I skip breakfast and that is a no-no, so I will be doing a slim-fast shake in the morning, I signed up for Weight Watchers two days ago, but for about the last year I have been looking at this book: The G.I. Diet: The Easy, Healthy Way to Permanent Weight Loss. You see I am a carb addict and I know that I need help making some choices.
Am I over complicating things?
