DAY TWO

Well Cactus is probably right, writing about food is not a good idea when you are battling its seductive charms. But thats the thing .

Weka, skin off would be a good red meat, yip its not white like chook. And trout, like all fish is a dieters friend.

And we think that portion control and exercise is the way to go.
In the last month we have had a big think about the things we do wrong. First is the size of the meals we eat. We can consumme enough to feed a African village for a month in a sitting.

And we are addicted to junk food - chips and since the demon menopause sat on our shoulder - we can do a block of white chocolate - which seems to us to be solidified condensed milk, with ease.

So our house will be a chip and chocolate free zone for a while.

And what may come as a suprise to many - no alcohol. Not for the first three months anyway.
We dont drink alone nor at home unless someone else is there - However we like to drink with restauarant food.

In fact we dont like to just drink - we like to eat and drink. We hate drinking without food. So gone is the drink. We also know enough of the restauranteurs around the place who will cook what we want so we will still lunch here and there.

We did that quite sucessfully the last time we lost 20kgs.

So yesterday on day one we consumed - some soup and some dry toast. that was all our tender little tum could handle.

Today we started with some porridge to put some lining back on our gut and we will sip chooky soup for the rest of the day.


But Cactus is wrong , Food controls us - has done for quite some time - we want to take back that control so running and hiding from it is the wrong way to go. We have to work on developing a healthy relationship with food and learn to enjoy exercise a bit more. We are pretty sure thats the key.
