This is me

My first serious post. :ohwell:


I have lost 33 pounds. That is amazing. I have a bit more to go but the truth is that I am 5 pounds below where my doctor recommended already. I do not believe in eating clean. However I do believe in eating cleanER. I eat whatever I want; I do not deny myself anything. Food is not my enemy. Eating too much is bad but eating too little is just as bad. This is a lifelong thing for me, not a diet. So yes, I do need to lose some more. However I am doing this in a way where I am not unhappy. I joke around because this path to a healthier me is not something that cannot be enjoyed. I take it very serious!!! I make a very conscious effort to keep this enjoyable. That is how this whole “diet” becomes a forever deal. I am not hungry. I do not dislike this experience. Many diets are just too restrictive and to plain old...Sucky....to be lifelong dietary changes. Many people need to do those types of things. My progress to this point shows that I do not. To each his own. I love food, it is not the enemy. Thank you for your support thus far and I hope you will continue to be there as I, "keep on swimming."………Basically, joking around helps me to enjoy this stuff. Eating better and taking your health serious does not have to suck. If you do not like my joking then go away, if you want to add me you can but read my profile first. Thanks.
