My weight has always been a yo-yo situation. Since being diagnosed with a heart condition in January 2005, it has been the foremost thing on my mind.
Recently, I've finally figured out how to eat properly--that is, to take my time and enjoy what I eat. When I used to go to Subway, it was nothing to eat a footlong sub, a bag of chips, a medium soda and possibly a cookie. Now, it's a 6-inch sub and a half-bag of chips. I either keep the mayo light (but won't eat light mayo--don't like it) or go with mustard.
I'm still having a problem figuring out when I'm full. In addition, I have a hard time not cleaning my plate. But I'm getting better.
I'm very fortunate...my blood pressure is a bit high as is my cholesterol, but no diabetes. My only goal right now is to just eat better...the weight loss will follow.
