How did I re-gain this much weight? I don't eat meat!

My last entry to my blog I wrote how upset I was with Oprah for getting on the vegan bandwagon. This is a person who has had challenges with food, eating and lifestyle. I just felt she has such a responsibility since she is so much in the public eye. Anyone who puts their point of view out there does. This is why I try to clarify to people that while I do not eat meat, I do eat seafood, therefore, I am neither vegetarian nor vegan.

I was preaching about lifestyle versus just jumping on the bandwagon. I feel like such a hypocrite. I stopped eating meat for health issues and weight control. My keeping my weight down is crucial to my health.

Well guess what? I have gained so much weight! How did this happen?The short answer is obvious. I have been eating what I should not. So just today I started over. I am not doing a 21 day thing or anything with an exact formula. I will say what I have always said about diet, eating, etc., it is your choice. You must find what works best for you. Every ones body is different and responds differently. Talk with your doctor first, but most importantly yourself.

A famous woman said," ... point of discipline in eating is to increase your awareness of food, of your eating habits, and of the greatness of living. To follow discipline in eating, to make it a sacred ritual,...... Disciplined eating has nothing to do with being fat or thin. Once there is discipline in eating, your body will naturally and automatically look and feel the way it should."

I will begin my discipline of eating. Join me if you wish. I will share with you what I am doing and if it is working or not. I wish you well.
