It is now time for me to declare the new diet in progress.
It is now mandatory that I lose down to what I never should have been up to.
Befitting the spirit of the forum this will be a cave man diet. I thought that was only appropriate.
Let it be known that I have done this before and did not die due to the heavy meat intake. I actually thrived on the beef steak and bacon with lots of greens thrown in as forage.
Last time I lost 80 pounds but I have let it creep back up over the past three years, but not to the previous poundage, through the judicious application of bread, french fries, chocolate pie and icecream with the occasional waffle for variety. It seems that I simply convert carbs directly to fat and can no longer tolerate them in my diet.
Hopefully I will lose enough by summer to be back into some of my reenactment duds which will no longer lace and buckle. I am also hoping to make it to the mail box and back without stopping for a nap.
I am on day three and I am well into the icecream withdrawal stage with the accompanying anxiety and compulsion to jump into the Jeep and head for a large blizzard at the dairy queen. They are closed now, it's 1am, but I think I can get in through the little window at the drive through if there are no cops around.
