With the new year comes a renewed attempt to get my weight down and get healthy. In talking with Jan, the DCI dietician, I've put together some goals and some new strategies for getting my weight down.
I'm about 20-25 pounds overweight, but sometimes these amounts can be the hardest to take off. The first strategy change is how I handle the times on my own. It's not often, but it seems like when I'm by myself, I eat like I'm going to the chair!
The time after dialysis is also a danger time. Since I don't eat breakfast before dialysis, I'm tempted to eat breakfast and lunch in one setting. This week I limited my breakfast to breakfast. Later in the day I had half of a meal, something bigger than a snack, but smaller than a full meal.
The new strategy says that once I'm done eating my breakfast on dialysis days, I need to move on to something else. Today that something else is writing.
So, once this post is finished, it will be time to get my half meal ready and get ready for work.
