Oh, as for your question Cilla... basically Ben explained it... I stopped eating just for the sake of eating and I started paying more attemtion to what I was eating
Instead of a bagel with creamcheese I have a cup of oatmeal and some fruit
instead of three teaspoons of sugar in my coffee or tea I have one packet of Splenda
I eat no pasta or rice and rarely eat potatoes, I when I do it is human portions, not the supersized portions I was used to eating
I am eating lots of steamed veggies, spinach, brussell sprouts, carrots, broccoli, caulifower, squash
I eat lots of fruit, strawberries, raspberries, blueberries, bananas, grapefruits
and lots of salads
I don't drink soda and don't eat cakes, pies, cookies, chocolates, ice cream etc while watching the teevee... I still have the occassional sweet...
and I try to exercise a little every day whether I get to the gym or not...
and I take "Silver" multivitamins.. supposedly providing me with 100% of the necessary vitamins for a woman of my advanceed years
