—I don’t seem to get any thinner no matter what I do—

One doctor has me dieting, another puts me on steroids!

I got up at 11:30 one night last week and made biscuits, eggs and link sausage. Wife got up and come in “I thought I was dreaming, smelling sausage cooking” At least I offset that to a small degree by not eating till supper the next day. Yea, right, keep telling myself that! LOL

I will gain weight if I eat more than 1400 calories, and all the charts say I should be able to eat 1700 and lose weight even if I am sitting on my behind all day.

My Doc says the CPAP will help that. Most of his patients lose 25 lbs even with no changes to diet or excercise. As I do have a little more energy, I am beginning my excercise program, and continuing to tweak my diet so that it's healthy.

Now that breakfast you ate, I would have probably only had a half serving of the fatty foods and starches, and added a real lemonade and some citrus fruit. Plus some oolong tea.

The oolong tea supposedly helps block the fat from being stored. The citrus and lemon juice helps with digesting the starches.

I have broken my sugar addiction. The only time I have sugar now is when I get nausea, then I drink a little cola cut with no sodium seltzer water. I even love lemonade without added sugar.

My sweet treats are fresh apples, peaches etc. I do add a little maple syrup or honey to peanut butter for an extra special treat sometimes, but that's it. Reduction of white flour has been coming along too. Replacing it with oats, and brown rice or sweet potatoes. I figure if I can't lose, I'll at least eat healthy and get all the nutrients I can.
