Have I mentioned lately how great I feel?
I should mention it, because I do feel terrific. It’s nice to lose the weight – 21 pounds in 25 days, and 4 in the last week! – but it is even better to lose the weight and feel great physically.
I’ve done a lot of gimmick diets in the past, diets that were good enough to sell millions of books and good enough to knock off 10 or 15 pounds by getting people to eat some special combination of foods. Atkins, Scarsdale, South Beach, the Zone, Stillman, etc. The problem with so many of them is that after 2 or 3 weeks you feel terrible. Listless, or worse.
The key to Big Man Getting Smaller is that it is not a diet. What’s there to write a book about?
All I am doing is eating slightly less of a very nice, usually healthy balance of foods, and keeping track of it so that I go to bed each night knowing both that I had enough to eat and that I didn’t have too much.
So it is not surprising that I feel great. And it is not surprising that I keep losing weight.
Of course I would feel even better if I had finished my copywriting assignment last night. But it’s a West Coast company and I’ve still got over 4 hours before they are at their desks in Palos Verdes….
Corey Smith is here to sing today’s soundtrack, “Twenty-One.” Sorry, 50-Cent, but embedding was disabled on your track. Plus I kind of like Corey’s song about a baseball cap and a fake i.d. Reminds me of when I used to hitch-hike into Hyannis to chat up the summer college girls when I was 15.
