I started a new diet plan yesterday. I got a Christmas gift card for Barnes and Noble, and I saw Dr. Joel Fuhrman's new book about beating diabetes. Since I am pre-diabetic, and have insulin resistance, I thought it would be a good read. I decided to try the diet as I could understand it. It allows for a lot of beans, which other diabetic diets said were too high in carbohydrates. I find beans and rice satisfying with some vegetables, essentially a macrobiotic diet I ate for years and taught.
I weighed 301 pounds this morning. I peaked at 305 pounds during Christmas 2012. Sausage balls. My goal weight is 250 pounds, which is still over the chart limit for my 6'4" frame no matter how large I say that frame is. I will see what life is like at 250 and deicide where to go from there.
My daughter turns 18 soon, and will leave for college next fall, so this is my last chance to demonstrate to her the power of natural foods. My son needs a diet plan too, as his friend Caleb said yesterday--he's tired of eating at fast food places.
This is the desire of my heart and I know that God will grant me the power to do it.
