Charlene and I are on a diet again. This time we have our mind renewed to the necessity of getting the weight off. We are operating under the grace of God and relying on His power to diet. A diet is a major change in life. It is a life change. It has totally changed how we eat and we have to adapt. So far so good.
Losing weight requires we make changes, which aren’t so comfortable. I think the healthiest diets are ones that require the most change. We can’t just eat what we were in smaller portion sizes. There is nothing healthy just eating less, except for the fact you may get the weight off. That’s healthier itself. However, some foods are just not that healthy and isn’t the goal of a good diet to get healthier and lose the weight?
We are cutting out the unhealthy foods. This means a life change—a major change. It’s surprising what we eat and snack on that really isn’t helping our health. We are making the changes and not looking back. It means having to get very creative when traveling and planning ahead. We don’t go to our favorite restaurants and that’s okay. We are ready to make the changes needed to get the weight off, keep it off, and get healthier in the process. And we are burning fat as we walk the trail each morning.
