the solution

i had retreated into my old world for a while, of counting calories...and the hungrier i got, the more i counted.  it's the way my head works.  t knew i was having some issues with this and while maybe not comprehending fully, he found an action plan that has worked.

on my old path of working myself to death (which I'm still doing), i didn't eat breakfast, and most times, didn't have time to eat lunch.  that means, I would get home, starving and intake about 500 caloires all at once, then go to bed.  funny thing was, i wasn't losing weight. 

tony pulled up a website on a kitchy eating renovation plan online.  i'll admit, when i first heard about it, i thought he was crazy.  it was all infomercially, but on a lower budget.  what it turned out to be was an eating plan and not an unmanageable one.  what i found out was that i was intaking less than 1/3 of the calories that i needed in a day, hence causing my body to grab onto every fat cell known to man and hold on to them for dear life. 

on this plan, it doesn't have you count calories and i am STUFFED, most of the time.  t can use it, even with his food allergies because it is wholly modifiable.  it doesn't involve any protein powders or shakes, only real food and most importantly, deals with the glycemic index, which is how we regulate our blood sugar. 

i've been doing it for two days now...i'm doing a 14 day start to the program and it's going well.  i'm following it to a T, because i want to see if it really works.  the only thing that is somewhat hard, is no white bread, and really not really wheat bread, but you do get to have sprouted grain bread, which really is so good anyway, i never have missed the former. 

i'm drinking boatloads of water, reduced my sugar intake by crazy amounts, will not touch a diet coke again after learning what aspartame does to our liver, and am actually feeling pretty good. 

and lo and behold, two pounds have come off so far!!!
