It’s not hard to eat well when there’s good food around. For me, weight loss success has a lot to do with my options. If I turn my weight loss efforts into a culinary adventure, it is a strong motivator for me to stick with it. Buckwheat pancakes and fruit compote for breakfast. Lentil soup, a piece of crusty bread, and a small salad for lunch. Snacking on fruit, hummus, tzatziki, whole grain crackers, peanut butter.

There are so many healthy food options, who would even desire to eat junk?

I used to think that coffee was part of a good food diet, same with chocolate. But I’ve elminated caffeine because of my adrenal glands and I miss neither.  My endocrine system, I’ve decided, is currently out of balance and is hurting my efforts to lose pounds.

So how am I doing? The scale is, quite literarly, stuck. I’ve lost a few pounds and now I can’t tell if my weight is haywire again because of my hormones or if those few pounds of weight loss have stuck. Meanwhile, I am still working on building my healthy habits.
