Day 11 of New Plan

As I look back at all my diet notes and woes, I realize that the same problem always comes up.
I am starving, eating even less, unable to function, sick of counting and measuring and depriving myself...and watching the scale sit still or even go up.

I realized then that the "same old, same old" is NOT going to work.  Count calories.  Count points.  Count carbs.  Count fat.   Count whatever....it DOESN'T WORK.  Something is missing in the approach.  Something is not right and is not going to work, especially as I get older.

So, I changed gears.  Trying something VERY different.  Out of the norm of any other things I've tried.
So far, I am still alive.  And, I haven't actually been very hungry.  (THAT part alone is a miracle, since I am always hungry, usually even before I get up from the table...)  And I've felt pretty good too.  That is nice.  And, when I am hungry, I can actually EAT.

I think I am down about 2-3 pounds in 11 days.  Hopefully the trend will continue.
I can certainly "do" this eating approach much more easily than I was able to tolerate starving to death all the time.   It is healthy, workable, palatable, nutritious, and has the ultimate goal of FAT loss, not WEIGHT loss.   Weight is an issue, but FAT is more so a problem.  I am tired of looking at my big tummy, lumpy hips, etc. that were not always there.  And, with diligence and perseverance, I hope to kiss them goodbye.
