Holding My Own

@chubby.animol

I didn’t LOSE any lardage yesterday, but I didn’t GAIN any, either, so I guess that’s a win – at least in my book.

We’re trying to add fiber to our diet – a difficult thing in that my husband doesn’t like veggies much. I made a list of some fiber-rich food and printed it. I put the list on the dining area table so that we could go over it together. My husband honed in on ‘beans,’ deciding that this means he can now eat the deli baked beans he likes so much. I reminded him that the reason we avoid them is because they are loaded with sugar. Deaf ears.

I have started eating breakfast again, and that seems to be helping curb my hunger. Today we had some cheerios, blueberries, and milk. We’ll have our normal lunch and then I’m fixing hamburger patties and some black eyed peas with onions for dinner.

Trying to accommodate different tastes in food, different dietary needs, age, and more is quite a tightrope. I’m pleased that some of the changes I’m making are resulting in my scales snarking a bit less. (Down 7 lbs so far) I’ll see if there are any changes with the measuring tape at the beginning of next month.
