i haven't been able to sustain weight loss or keep weight off all my life. what might be different this time is that i'm not really "doing" much -- just eating 3 small'ish or "reasonable" meals a day and keeping sugar to a bare minimum (this might be key in curbing my appetite). i'm not calorie counting and not completely banning any foods, both of which have exhausted me in the past. along with limiting sugar, i want to eat more vegetables; i think the body wants a certain amount of substance to chow down on during the day so as not to deprive the senses, and it's better if that substance is not calorie dense. our bodies evolved for calorie scarcity and to some extent maintaining a good weight is a matter of tricking them, like you might encourage a child to do something beneficial but not-fun by making a game out of it.
i have high hopes that i can eat this way for the rest of my life and turn out to be not as fat after a while...no rush. my goals are to not have high blood pressure, and to not get dirty looks from other passengers on airplanes. i don't need 6 pack abs; i just don't want to be obese.
other things to throw in: eating slowly and mindfully, exercising, drinking lots of water.
what are some things that might trip me up? please pray to Macuilcozcacuauhtli (aztec god of gluttony) for me :)
