   My Diet   
      
   During the summer and late fall of 2006 I notice another weight gain.   
   I was already overweight but now my weight was becoming a problem, I am   
   having breath issues and I keep purchasing larger pants.   
      
   I am 5 foot 7 inches   
   My pant have move up to a 46 waist and they were beginning to get to tight.   
   My doctor said if I was not careful I was at risk of heart disease and or   
   diabetes.   
   I have other heath problem also.   
      
   I tried to following several fade diets but each required massive changes in   
   my eating habits and each ended with my weight higher than my start weight.   
      
   I have succeeded at many things over the years but there are at least three   
   things I would like to fail at.   
   One is having a heart attack   
   Two is getting diabetes   
   Three is reaching 300 pounds.   
      
   It now 2007 and I have been thinking about how to lose weight for several   
   weeks now and got onto the bathroom scale. It read 299 LBS this was not   
   good.   
      
   New plan   
   Time three years (3 x 365 = 1,095 days)   
   Weight Lose?  I picked 150 lbs even though I know it was not my correct end   
   weight. But I needed at start goal. 16 oz = 1 lbs (16 x 150 = 2,400 oz).   
   1,095 / 2,400 = 0.45625 oz per 24 hours day is all I would have to lose.   
      
   Only question is how do I do this?   
   My solution, eat less. Each meal was looked at. What was I eating and how   
   much. I know if I went to fast then I would feel hungry and sooner or later   
   I would cheat. Very small step was the plan. Each change was to take several   
   days to several weeks. Slow change and my system would adjust with the   
   changes and not fight them.   
      
   I started with my breakfast cereal. Change one as each box of cereal ran out   
   purchase cereal that was not sugar coated. Step two adjust volume of cereal   
   being eaten. I filled the bowl as normal then empty it back into a measuring   
   cup. It was about 4 cups and then I would put brown sugar on top and 2%   
   milk. In reusable plastic container I made 7 bowls of cereal each 3 ½ cups   
   and I added ¼ cup of raisons I also started using 1% milk. Week by week I   
   continued to reduce the cereal I am at 1 ½ cups now with ¼ cup of raisons no   
   sugar and 1% milk.   
      
   Nothing is done fast it took time to gain all my weight it will take time to   
   change all my eating habits.   
   My breakfast would normally consist of 2 jumbo eggs, meat (bacon, ham,   
   sausages, steak) potatoes, and four slices of white bread.  Slowly I have   
   reduced that to 1 jumbo egg 2 slices of whole grain bread. Sometimes I make   
   an omelette all proportions have been greatly reduced. Next week I plan on   
   changing the jumbo eggs to large eggs.   
      
   If interested I can tell you about changes to my other meals.   
   I have even changed my dinner plates.   
   They were 10 ½ inches wide.   
   The new plates are 9 ¾ inches wide.   
      
   I think of my weight in block of ten pounds.   
   I start this weight lose program in the 290 lbs block.   
   I am now in the 280 lbs block.   
      
   So far I have not been exercising. Although I am not lazy when I go to the   
   mall I am the person parked on the far side of the lot not the person parked   
   next to the doors. I can use the walk.   
      
   I will let you know when I move into the 270 lbs block. It will happen.   
   Until then good health to all.
