something healthy

What's bigger than a muffin top? A soufflé? Popover? These are awful metaphors for my thickening middle.

But there I was: over 45, with a waistline marked by an expanding muffin top. I was so sick of tight pants, sick of buying only elastic waistbands, sick of feeling frumpy. I knew I couldn't look 25 again, but I wanted some waist back.

Last Thanksgiving, I promised myself that by this holiday season, I would be at least 15, if not 25 pounds thinner. I had almost a whole year to hit my goal.

But, by August I was in the same place, maybe worse.

Why? I picked the wrong diet. I did that low/ no carb thing, which made me cranky, tired and so bored with the all the protein. Good news was I lost 21 pounds in about 11 weeks. But by April I started to eat carbs again and gradually, I gained back all the weight and then some.

There are many important reasons we need to lose weight like feeling comfortable and elegant manner, but the main reason and the important one that we remain in good health.
Many of the doctors knew many years ago that the increase in weight causes many diseases including high blood pressure, heart disease, and high cholesterol in the blood and others.
