Halfway, i think what the couple said just below your post is right on! I don't count calories, i do not go on diets. I have flipped the coin so to speak, I NOW enjoy being a little more hungry and I like that feeling! I have lost 26 pounds since June 1st, The biggest baddie was peanut butter and ice cream, oh how I love peanut butter, ice cream, and mountain huckleberry ice cream. Little portions, etc. if you don't want to eat it try not having it in the house! Winter will be here before we know it, this summer i ate lots of garden vegies. I will have to ramp up on my efforts, body stretching and mindfulness...... humm oh yea, i also ask Heavenly Father to help me daily. Ps. I sure do enjoy what you write, its funny and free wheeling.
