ITK, hunger is good. You should never eat so little that your body goes into starvation mode. The key to losing weight is to consume the right number of calories (from decent food choices) for your age, gender and body type and then to increase your activity. You can eat pretty much anything you want IN MODERATION! That means you can have bacon and eggs for breakfast but maybe only one slice of bacon and one boiled egg. You can have ice cream for dessert, but just one scoop instead of two. You can have Jack In The Box for lunch, but not every day. And you need to keep walking, so your body will use the calories you take in. If your body figures you need those calories, it will use them rather than storing them. If you don't put enough fuel into your body though, it will try to store every tiny calorie that goes in...and then you build up those fat reserves. Does that make sense?
copied this too because it is for me and I want to remember. Having that problem too, 'now what did she say?' If it isn't ONE thing than it is ANOTHER! Oh Alix, I count my blessings. Hear more bad things than good. Must be the universe trying to impress on me that I don't have it so bad. Been thinking about you and glad you are commenting on this thread. Some threads don't have time to read.
What you say makes lot of sense. I find myself getting so hungry and want to deny the food but if it is GOOD food than I must be wrong.
HOpe you and yours doing all okay and thanks Alix for your time and comments. Such priceless words on this site especially for me. Guess they'll send them with me when I go. But for right now, I want to read and reread.
Take care. Tell your man Ken, that is his name? hello from me. Isn't it great to have a good one? So many women I talk to married for more than 50 years. They all look like it too. Real good and happy.
