1/2 inch

I’ve been feeling rather fat for awhile and the trip to Florida brought my weight into sharp focus. Looking at some of the pictures, I felt a sense of disappointment in myself that I’ve not felt for a long time.
It was time for a change.
I started thinking about diets, diet pills and the like. Then I saw an ad on TV for a new show ”I can make you thin.” I decided to record the series and the first night it was on Hubby was in the other room, so I started watching it live. 
Hubby came in the room as it was starting and sat down to watch it with me.  He never questioned what we were watching, just listened along with me.
It seemed pretty simple.  The show gave us 4 tenants to live by:
1. Eat when you are hungry
2. Eat what you want
3. Each consciously
4. Stop when you are full

We decided to go for it.  What could we lose?
The first show was 3 weeks ago.  Last night I had to tighten the safety strap on my weight belt for belly dance class by 1/2 inch. 
I think it’s working…
