I agree Grizz. I have to settle down and know this is for the long term benefit. As long as I am going in the right direction (down) I can deal with it.
I saw Dr. Oz on Oprah last week and he talked about what your waist size is supposed to be in proportion to your height. I forget the formula, but I did it and I need to lose at least 4 inches in my waist!!! This kills me because I used to always be the person people complimented on how tiny my waist was. I may have had hips and thighs, but my waist was always small and my stomach flat. Those were the days. LOL. And they weren't that long ago either, which makes it even more troubling.
Everyone is saying that a large middle is a big health risk, so it is not just my vainity that is at stake here.
I'm still having very high protein lunches, just chicken or fish with a green vegetable. I'm having Healty Choice frozen dinners for dinner with a large green salad, but it is not very filling. I don't like to have processed food, so I am going back to cooking fresh food next week for dinner.
I'm going to fight not to snack this weekend. That's the time I am tempted to snack on yogert, pop corn, rice cakes, and grapes. Pretty healthy stuff, but I must learn to portion them out better.
I know how frustrated I was when I had my back problems and lega problems. I could not exercise and it was horrible. Thank G0d I am so much better now.....I now have no excuses. LOL.
Hope your knee is healing okay.
