But keeping busy and eating less seem to do it for me. I just have to set out smaller portions for myself and hubby, and we can't eat out very often....too tempting!Linda Kayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17237332954767037400noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30399958.post-86511337687827739102015-09-12T10:20:17.165-05:002015-09-12T10:20:17.165-05:00Hello Jill, I have the opposite problem. I have to...Hello Jill, I have the opposite problem. I have to eat a LOW fiber diet and at my age everyone is trying to eat a high fiber diet. I have had 17 surgeries and now I have an ileostomy. I was born with ulcerative colitis now linked to back to my father having malaria in WWII. I can't eat apples or even applesause, or nuts, I even must peel my strawberries because of the seeds. Grocery shopping is a major pain trying to meet the hubs needs and mine together in one meal. I am required to eat 6 small meals a day and never a large one. Sometimes I give up and eat what I want but then end up very sick. I have to eat this diet to stay slive. Just a suggestion, but try looking at your weight as a cancer that is trying to kill you, then perhaps your mind will give it a higher priority. I love your blog and hope you find a way to stay motivated. Small steps are good, many small steps lead a path to your goals. Hang in there!Jackie Seehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01187407666309898021noreply@blogger.com
