Cutting Back

Boy, sometimes you don't realize how much you are eating, until you try to cut back.  Pop got so hungry yesterday.  I tried to be creative and give him some low calorie snacks between meals, but it was hard for him.  He had back surgery in September and had lost down to 218.  Then his back and legs started to bother him again, so he stopped walking and is now up to 238.  We've got to get his weight back down, so it doesn't put so much pressure on his back.  His left side is not fusing properly and they may have to go back in and redo the graft.  I would hate that, because back surgery is tough!  He was a real trouper yesterday though and today will be hard.  We have got to shrink our stomachs back to eating smaller portions.  I think that portion size is the key! Reducing  portion size is just common knowledge, but sometimes we forget, and it becomes a hassle to measure out everything you eat.  However if you want to lose weight you must stay vigilant about, portion size, calories, fat content, and some form of exercise.  Thank you for stopping by my blog and have a blessed day.
