Dieting is no easy task. This is especially true for those who don't eat much. We need to evaluate what exactly is aiding in the pound packing. Don't misunderstand, however, that I fully appreciate the difficulty it is for anyone to lose weight. Healthy food is expensive which is one of the reasons this country is so heavy to begin with.

This past month my body seems to have accepted its fate. That is to say that I don't have a constant hunger. I eschewed the no carb diet in favor of one that simply limits calories. If you can stomach a slim fast shake, they are handy to have around. Limited calories and it's a full meal. For me, the shake does fill me up so I can go without worry. The other success for me has been ingesting fiber (Fiber One cereal packs 57 percent of your daily fiber requirement!!). I know this seems counterintuitive, but it really works.

I have lost 8 pounds in the last 3-4 weeks. I have much more to go but it sure feels nice to pull out the spring clothes and see them fitting. My budget won't allow shopping so it's good to have what I need.

Well, off to breakfast.
