#4 Blogging About Losing Weight

I'm also trying to lose weight, and the Blogging About Losing Weight carnival is one of the methods I've chosen to keep my motivation high. This has been a very public diet. I've been on it for half a year, and I've lost almost half of what I think I should lose. My guess is that it will take another year, since the first half of the weight goes off most quickly.

I'm not on one of those temporary diets. I've changed my eating to something I hope and pray I'll be able to stick to until the day I die. Believe me; I eat I lot. Starvation isn't on the menu. At some point, I'll stabilize at a weight, and that will become my weight.

Most successful dieters reach a eureka point, when suddenly they realize that their bodies do look better. I experienced that earlier in the week.

I've established a diet support group, and it's really great to help others and learn from them.

Many people gain weight, or can't lose, because they find food preparation too difficult. That's why I believe in cooking for days in advance. There are those who will say that it's not as healthy as freshly cooked food, but it sure beats sandwiches, cakes and cookies.

Here are blog posts I received. Please don't send more than three, and if they aren't about losing weight I won't include them. I hope that I caught the irrelevant ones.

Please remember that I'm not personally responsible for anything recommended here.

Be Healthy, Enjoy and Good Luck!

Well you are certainly not alone as the typical American eats way too much fast food when away from home and at home they tend to gravitate towards those high sodium comfort foods."
robert galway presents Diet Pills posted at robertgalway.com, saying, "Diet pills are an incredibly popular method people use for losing weight.

Virtually everyone understands the concepts of reduce, reuse, and recycle in the context of being better stewards of the environment, but now “reduce” may mean reducing your waistline. An article recently published in the International Journal of Epidemiology, suggests that the prevalence of obesity in the population today significantly contributes to greenhouse gas emissions and climate change."
