diet

So, last fall whenever my pants stopped fitting, I went on a diet. More of a new lifestyle, really. I started out simply counting calories, and therein was the problem–I was eating too much. So, I cut back and lost a few pounds, but then hit a plateau for a couple of months. The only thing I could think to do was to give up sugar. I don’t feel that I was eating too much sugar, but I do like my sweets and would occasionally overindulge. It’s not that I don’t ever eat junk food, I just try to limit it my consumption. I also cut sugar out of my tea–again not a huge amount, but both of these efforts allowed me to lose a couple more pounds, so my pants fit again. I have to say, I thought I was going to like tea without sugar (as I drink my coffee black), but it just does not taste good. Maybe I’ll get used to it eventually. But, either way, at least my pants fit again. Oh, and getting old sucks.
