I Will Lose This Weight in 2021

After fighting and losing the battle of the bulge many times through my life, I’ve found myself ready to go to war once again with a New Year’s resolution to lose weight, get fit and stay healthy in 2021.

I know what works and what doesn’t work. There’s no such thing as a miracle weight-loss plan. I will not lose the 80 extra pounds I carry in one month. A reasonable goal is 12 months and I know what I have to do.

I love to cook and I love to eat. I also enjoy wine, cocktails and craft beer. My challenge is reducing the calories I consume on a daily basis. I’ve learned that it’s not enough to measure while I’m cooking – I have to keep those measuring cups handy for when I prepare my own plate to eat. It’s never been a matter of eliminating any particular thing from my diet but rather always a problem of how much I eat.

I am returning to my own “No More Diet Diet” that I let fall by the wayside over the last few years. It’s such a simple diet because there are no special foods to buy, no special place to go to weigh in and no special exercise equipment to buy. When I have lost weight in the past it was all a matter of reducing my daily intake and getting off of my butt and moving. And to reward myself, I play casino games via oncapan.com from time to time. However, I always make it a point that I spend money responsibly. 

In 2021, I will reduce my daily calorie intake by reducing the amount of alcoholic beverages I consume and increasing the amount of water I drink. I’ve never had a problem drinking water – I prefer it over soda. For me, plenty of water means I feel better.

I will succeed at my diet goals in 2021 because I will obsessively measure everything that goes into my body. As a cook, I’m great at eye-balling how much of something to put into a pot on the stove. As an eater, I can’t judge a portion size to save my life. And really – I am trying to save my life by losing weight.

I am trying something different in 2021 to reach my diet goals. I have joined an online support group. This isn’t a group of strangers but rather a group of people I consider co-workers who share a common goal – to lose weight and be healthy. In just a few short days I’ve been overwhelmed at the support that is shown to each other by this group of women. We will succeed because we can succeed.

I will reach my diet goals in 2021 because I want to live a long healthy life.
