Eldon's Weight Loss

At Eldon's last check up the end of May, Dr. Athay simply said, "You've GOT to lose some weight." So he did! He's lost 20 pounds and is still dropping, as you can see by these before and after shots.

These are the lifestyle changes I've noticed he's made:

1. Whenever he's hungry he says, "Hungry is good," because he knows that's when the weight is coming off.

2. If he needs a snack he has a piece of fruit or some carrot sticks.

3. He doesn't snack after supper any more.

4. He limits himself to no more than one dessert per day.

5. He's noticing the labels on things, particularly the sugar and fat content.

6. He's eating smaller servings. He says he feels his stomach has shrunk so he gets full faster.

7. He read that keeping a log of what you eat helps you lose weight, so he's doing that.

8. He gets more exercise. He tries for 2 walks or bike rides or their equivalent per day.

He's more lovable even though there's less of him now to love!
