Believe it ot not, when I was young I used to be as skinny as a rail. Then the fun of puberty happened and I plumped up right nicely. By the time I graduated high school I was pushing 190 lbs. Eeep. That summer I actually lost weight working at McDonald’s and dropped down to about 170 lbs. I hovered there for years until a couple of years ago I started gaining weight again. Imagine my shock to get on the scales and see that I was back up to 185 lbs. Eeep! So, I decided to be a little better. I am a major fast food (lunch every day) and soda (at least four a day) junkie. Last November, I cut out sodas totally and started taking turkey sandwiches for lunch. I have also tried only to have fast food once a week. I don’t feel like I am any thinner than when I started this “non-dieting diet” last year. So, imagine my surprise when I weighed myself this morning and saw 165 on the dial.
