It has to work

While at the writers retreat I heard of a study were people take these antioxidants and they lose weight. I'm taking quercetin, resveratrol and soy isoflavones. The fellow that talked about it had already lost over twenty pounds.

Overflowing with hope, I picked up the pills at the store. The first two days I lost six pounds. From 260.5 to 254.5. This morning I'm at 255, gaining a half pound back. (Yes, I'm heavy)

It has to work, it just has to. Not only have I paid the money, but I've realized I'm not as content to be heavy as I once thought. Something needs to give, and that something is me.

I've cut back on my portions, but now I need to look at the type of food...Dinner last night was fish sticks. Not the healthiest thing in the world. I wonder if that made the half pound difference.

They say you shouldn't weigh yourself everyday. I've taken to weighing myself three times a day. To be sure the pounds I lost that morning haven't creped back. Insidious things.

I will continue to post regarding my progress in dieting and anything else that I change.
