Success (at last)!!!!!

After many months of trying to lose weight I have at last succeeded! It's starting to go and what's even more amazing is that over the last week or so I have eaten quite a lot more too. Some of the medication that I was prescribed a year ago made be blow up like a hot air balloon and I can tell you it doesn't do any good for one's morale to be told that there is no alternative. At the same time my diet had to be amended slightly and I had to give up my early morning glass of orange juice and biscuits (of which I ate very few).
Now I have lost about seven pounds in a little over a week but there is still a long way to go. However, at least I no longer feel that I'm pursuing a hopeless dream and you may well ask how I did it. I don't believe in slimming clubs because I don't see why I should pay money each week to be weighed and to discuss my eating habits with someone who has probably never had a weight problem. It's too expensive anyway when you're on a limited income.
All I have done is halve my portion sizes of carbohydrates, reduced fats to an absolute minimum by using olive oil reduced fat spreads for cooking or dry fry spray and I have doubled up on the fruit and veggies (except potatoes). If I fancy eating pasta or rice, I keep the whole day vegetarian and I keep a few cold hard boiled eggs in the fridge which I can snack on if the hunger pangs won't go away after a drink. I shall stick to this and let you know if it still works in a few months time.
