Weight Watching

I'm hungry! It's true. Over the course of my life, I've never made any sort of serious effort to really improve my eating habits. By eating habits I basically mean I ate whatever I wanted whenever I wanted. Sure I had the occasional salad, but I also had lots of junk food and such awesome and tasty treats such as fried chicken, barbecue, Buffalo wings, macaroni & cheese, burgers, and lots of chocolate. You get the picture.

But beginning January 2, I started to make a conscious effort to reduce the amount of food I was eating and also to try to eat more healthful foods. It's been a struggle, but a week in, things have been going OK. I have lost a few pounds, so things seem hopeful.

I've also tried to step up the exercise just a bit. Unfortunately, I am hungry—a lot. And that occasionally makes me want to smack someone in the head. But we'll see what happens. Wish me luck. And with any luck, I'll never have to make such a painful New Year's resolution again.
