Pizza
Since I was very young I've had a weight problem.
Not the less than desirable kind,
but the more than desirable.
It started happening right after I had my tonsils out.
Husky is what they used to call us fat kids in the 60s.
It sucked anyway you sliced it.
And speaking of slices—PIZZA!
All those great foods that EVERYONE else eats--
I had to learn not to eat.
Damn I could live on pizza, pancakes, salami and cheese sandwiches!
Heaven!
But if I didn't want to resemble a blimp—definitely a no no.
I studied different diets and learned what I could eat to maintain my weight
and what I couldn't.
I am so ENVIOUS of people who can eat whatever they want and not
put on a pound!
Unfair I say!
But my lot in life.
However…
It can have an advantage in the long run. I know how to manage my weight.
Most people who were thin when they were young,
but put on the weight as they got older—can't.
I see them trying all these crazy “unhealthy” diets to get the pounds off.
It rarely works and if it does they don't know how to keep it off.
That is hard to learn.
That's why you need to eat the right foods.
To not only get all the nutrients, but to satisfy your belly.
So you don't feel like you are depriving yourself of what you love—tasty food!
I also learned many exercise programs to try and keep the pounds off.
Exercise, if it's the right kind, can help a lot.
Right kind you ask?
If you are killing yourself with extreme forms you'll most likely:
A. Injure yourself sooner or later.
B. Tire yourself out and not be able to do this type of exercise when you are older.
You need to find a healthy active schedule to keep you in shape.
I look to eastern exercise more than western.
Listen to your body.
It'll tell you if it's agreeable or not.
Once you get things under control—then—
You can treat yourself once an a while.
Several times a year I have my guilty pleasures.
Yes, like pizza!
But watch it. It's like an alcoholic getting off the wagon.
Get ready to jump back on—and soon!
Good luck.
