This postcard from PostSecret reminded me of my high school days.
There is a weekly pill box with a tab from Monster Energy Drink in the Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday sections. It reads:
I haven’t eaten since Sunday.
When I was in high school, I thought the way to lose weight was to just not eat. Back in the Eighties, they didn’t know as much about metabolism as they do now (even now, they have just scratched the surface of human physiology). I remember starting some new diet pills and I decided that I could drink as many Diet Cokes as I wanted, but I wasn’t going to eat.
That worked for three days and then I ate an entire box of discount Twinkies from the bakery thrift store.
Now I know that I have to eat OFTEN to lose weight. It doesn’t need to be a lot, but it really helps if I eat every two hours or so. I feel fuller with the same amount of calories and I feel like I’m eating all day, because face it, I am. I’ve finally found what works for me. To lose weight, I need to EAT!

I eat ALL DAY too! LOL I use to feel self-conscience here at work when I started doing that. I thought they were thinking, “How many times is she going to eat???” But seeing what I look & FEEL like compared to when I started doing that, I could care less. Like you, I realize what works for me! :o)
