Blogging About Losing Weight #3

I've been blogging about losing weight ever since I began my diet a few months ago. Actually, I don't like calling it a diet, since diets are temporary solutions to permanent problems, and we need permanent solutions.


I felt like Pavlov's dogs. At the sound of the word "diet," I'd get hungry! Nobody can be more surprised than me that over 22 pounds, ten kilo are already off, since I started Start Fresh. Even after going "slightly off" the diet during Passover, I lost almost a pound. If you cook, you should know that there are lots of low calorie foods which can be made in the oven. Ovens aren't just for cakes and cookies. And ignorance is not bliss when dieting. I finally bought myself a digital scale, so I don't have to go to a neighbor to weigh myself.

The Blogging About Losing Weight Carnival comes out monthly, hosted here on me-ander. Please pass the link around and publicize it on your blog or site.

And here's #3!

Send in your posts for the next one. Overly commercial posts or more than two from blog/site won't be included. Please stay on topic.
Rusty Moore presents How Much Water Per Day? Exaggerated by the Media! posted at Fitness Black Book, saying, "Have you been pressured to drink more water than feels natural? Are you constantly coming up short of the recommended 8-10 glasses of water per day? You will like this article! I'm going to examine current studies that question the logic of drinking 8-10 glasses of water per day. Newer studies are showing that maybe you should follow your senses, instead of sticking to some rigid drinking schedule."

Maureen presents Does Hypnosis for Weight Loss Work? posted at Weight Loss Hypnosis Hub, saying, "Hypnosis for weight loss can be just a bit misleading. Unfortunately, it’s not a magic bullet. However, it can help you to suppress your appetite which in turn will cause you to actually eat less. Of course, as you know, when you eat less you lose weight. Hypnosis for weight loss will also help you increase your motivation to exercise each day. Aside from your mindset, the two most important aspects of losing weight are consuming less calories and exercising more."

Thanks, Billy, yes lots of "healthy" foods are really full of calories.

Ilana-Davita, I don't send out reminders for this, since there are so many posts. I do have a "notice" list after it's posted. If you want to be put on that, please let me know.
