Change Your Mind and Eat Healthier

Weight Loss, and a Lifestyle Change are choices I made with determination. I had to decide to change my mind and eat healthier. I also have to eat less. I'm not looking for a magic pill or a surgeons knife to help me out of my lifetime of poor choices. I've been overweight my entire life. Chubby child, overweight adolescent, obese teenager and morbidly obese adult. I put every bite of food into my own mouth. I ate for pure enjoyment without the slightest thought about healthy food choices. So, I should also do what it takes to make the great change. Lose the weight, eat healthier and do a bit of exercise myself.



I've decided that I'd like to share this Journey with anyone who is interested in reading about it. I'm not a professional writer, just someone who wants to share with others. I hope what I share is helpful.

I am not at the beginning of my journey. I'd say that I'm about 5 years into the journey. My weight loss journey started with me deciding to cut back on my food intake. I was so miserable, and having a hard time just taking the garbage to the dumpster which probably was less than 50 feet from our patio door. I didn't know my exact weight, but I was probably within 20 pounds of 400 lbs. The scale has never been my friend, and I haven't weighed myself in about a year. My weight loss has slowed down, but it has been pretty constant. My last weight was in the upper 200's. I had successfully lost over 100 lbs. Quite an accomplishment. I don't care how long it took, it's a great accomplishment for me. Something I'd never achieved in my lifetime. 

I want to share so much with you. This is the beginning of this blog. I hope you're around for the long haul. Thanks for your visit.

My First Meal of the Day

Hello everyone! I thought I'd share a first meal of the day with you. I usually eat my first meal of the day no earlier than 11 am. It all depends on my schedule and what I have to do that day. I have eaten my first meal some days like yesterday, after 5pm. Yesterday I had one meal and earlier that afternoon I ate a 100 calorie bag of dusted dark chocolate almonds. This meal is from weeks ago. I decided to take a photo of this meal so I could write this post.  This day I ate breakfast for my first meal. This breakfast consists of Egg Beaters and Baby Spinach, if I want to add cheese. I prefer Follow Your Heart Vegan Gouda Cheese Slices. The toast is White Smart Carb bread and it's covered with an half of a Avocado. I consider this a fairly healthy, low calorie and low sodium meal. It's quite tasty as well. I'm not going to put all the numbers in. I just wanted to share a simple meal that I eat sometimes. If I'm home I love to eat at least one salad a day, usually fo...

My 2025 Goal is Onederland

Hello everyone, It's been a while since my last post. So much has happened in my life. There have been so many unexpected occurrences, I find my daily peace, joy and hope in Jesus Christ. I hope all is well with each and every one of you! My main goal this year for my weight loss is to finally leave the 200's. Yes, no more mid to low 200's it's time to make it to Onederland. What is onederland you ask?  Onderland is a term used in the weight loss community to signify reaching a weight below 200 pounds (one hundred pounds). It is a celebratory milestone for individuals who have achieved significant weight loss. The scale is not my friend. I have disliked stepping on the scale my entire weight loss journey. So my first weigh in for this year will probably be the end of June because it is the 6th month of the year. I will step on the scale just to check my progress. I need to see how close to my goal I am. I believe I can meet this goal by December 31, 2025 I will firmly b...

Salad Anyone?

 Hello everyone! Salad has become a major part of my diet. I endeavor to eat a salad everyday if my schedule allows. Salads are wonderful and can be customized to your health needs. I choose vegetables that are good for helping to keep a healthy blood pressure level and for the kidneys. I’m 60 years old and maintaining a healthy diet is important to maintain a healthy body as well. In my latter years I don’t want to depend on medications and doctors. The issues I have with my kidneys was caused by the medication I took for years. That medication had a major lawsuit and is discontinued. If only I’d known that years ago. I followed the doctor’s instructions and now I have stage 3 kidney disease. I was taking a medication daily that was damaging my kidneys and I had no clue. So many medicines cause other medical issues and damage other organs in the body. I truly prefer using fruit and vegetables to help heal and keep the body healthy. The salad above contained many vegetables. My new...
