Good Things, Small Packages
Why I’m trying to lose weight …
If ‘good things come in small packages’ is true, as the saying goes, then I want to be even smaller than I currently am! I’m not very tall, and don’t weight that much, being in my ‘ideal weight’ range. But I’d like to weigh a little bit less.
Here are six of my reasons for wanting this:
1/ Being closer to the top rather than middle or bottom of my ideal weight range, means an extra piece of this, or slice of that, may put me in the overweight range … Not that there’s anything terrible about that, unless it becomes so, and then dumping the extra weight can become important.
2/ My husband needs to lose more of his excess weight, for medical reasons, and I’ve taken on his revised dietary constraints, as a diet buddy. If I can lose a bit of weight with him, we’ll both be better off.
3/ Even though I’ve dumped around five kilograms in weight, there is still this tummy that is taking its time to fade away into nothing … I realise I don’t need a flat tummy, but I’ve been there before, in my not to distant past, and I believe I can have a flat tummy again, if only to prove to myself that I can do it!
4/ I am more aware at the moment, of what I truly want to eat, so when I limit myself, and only eat smaller amounts of various foods. Chocolate…
