Eating More to Lose Weight


My brother and I made a pact that we each would get down to what we weighed in college, by this coming November. Last year at this time I was about 20 pounds over weight (I was traveling for work and eating in restaurants all the time). I've lost ten since then. To make the goal I've set, I need to lose another twelve.

I've tried a few tricks that have helped. One is that I force myself to eat a couple pieces of fruit in the middle of the day, even if I don't feel like it. It cuts my hunger at lunch and dinner and I don't eat as much. Another nice side-effect is that it rehydrates me.

We'll see if I make weight by November.
