my wife was right...

OK… as much as I hate to admit it, my wife was right. She tried for half a year to get me to go on the R&D cookie diet. I tried for about a week but gave up. I am a big man. Six foot and 260 lbs (at my worst) and I thought she was out of her mind when she wanted me to eat only 6 of those little cookies throughout the day and then one meal! I’ve been a quantity eater all my life and I needed more than that! I’m a big boy!
So I tried everything else to prove to her that I could lose weight on my own. I was going to prove that I could exercise it off! I was able to when I was younger. I bought the P90X program and started it faithfully but after 2 months I hadn’t lost any weight (I felt better but weighed the same). That was frustrating. I finally gave in and agreed to try the cookies again. I work at a location that feeds me and I don’t have a choice as to what they serve. I also work from 2pm to 10 pm so I used the cookies a little differently. I take a bag with me every day and eat 2 or 3 on my way to work (I leave at noon). Then I eat my meal at work around 4 or 5pm. Then I have 2 or 3 cookies later that evening and I make sure I eat 1 or 2 on my way home at night. Once home, I try my best to go to bead by midnight or 1AM and before I go snooping around the kitchen.
It took almost a month for me to break some of my habits. I’m doing really well now and I started the P90X program for the second time. I’ve actually lost 18 lbs in 2 months! I have been slowly going down in weight since then. I’m not real strict with my diet and I eat whatever is free at work. I usually eat more than 6 cookies each day (8 to 10). It took me about a month to get used to them. At the beginning I still ate a lot (and I mean a lot) at work but I have since tried to reduce it down to what a normal person would consider a single meal. I almost always no longer eat late at night when I get home from work and most of the time when I do, it’s something innocuous like a bowl of Fiber One and soy milk (my wife is a Vegan).
I keep a bag of the R&D Diet Cookies with me all the time now (usually in my truck). The diet cookie program has taught me portion control. It has taught me that I don’t have to eat all the time. It has taught me that I can stay satisfied simply on those silly little cookies! I never thought I would be on a cookie diet and I never thought they would actually work for me but here I am… living proof! My wife had super success on the cookies. I’m slower but I don’t try as hard as she does. But I now have a system (program?) that works for me and it’s easy enough for me to do without much thought.
I just wanted to share this with all of you in case you think it may help you.
