Changes

I think I have reached the point where my willpower needs a break. Time to ease up on the diet for a while. I'm certainly not at my goal weight, and I don;t want to do anything stupid that'll reverse my progress. I just need to widen my culinary/gustatory horizons for a while.

So I am going to go off diet. Dunno for how long. Month or two? Not going to go nuts- just going to allow myself to enjoy some potatoes from time to time, and maybe make my chicken dinners with some ginger sesame sauce that had 7g of carbs per tbsp, that sort of thing.

If weight loss continues as I attempt to eat like a real person & keep it reasonable, then hooray for me. If I simply remain stable, then I will at some point go back on the strict diet that got me this far. If I start to gain weight, well, that'll be the end of that.

As part of this relaxing of my diet restrictions, I will be blogging less often. I mean, this barely even interests me as far as reading is concerned, so it can't be a real page-turner for anyone else.

I'll check in here once in a while if anything interesting happens, and when I feel ready (or feel the need) to go back on the strict diet, I will resume near-daily blogging of my meals & such.

Right now, I am making some pasta. But I'll only eat a small bowl of it, and I made the sauce with shrooms & peppers to make sure I get my veggies. Here's to eating like a normal person for a while.

Cheers!
