Hungry for a Healthy Weight?

June 21st, 2011 by Lori Kaley in Eating Well, Fitness and Weight Loss, Healthy Tips

As I hope we all know by now, there is no magic bullet when it comes to losing weight. The solution is simple, but certainly not easy to do. To lose weight we need to create an imbalance in the body’s caloric energy equation, or in plain English, we need to eat less (calories in) and move our bodies more (calories out). Many weight loss programs promise you won’t be hungry while you are eating less. From my point of view, I am not sure why feeling some amount of hunger is considered such a bad thing. Feeling hungry is a signal we can put to use to help us manage our weight.

I’ll even go so far as to say that wise indulging actually helps you maintain an ideal weight.

School Lunch 2.0

A couple of weeks ago I got to be a lunch lady, which was something I never imagined would happen but always secretly hoped would. I got to do it for a day, but real lunch ladies and gentlemen do it day in and day out. Honestly, I canʼt imagine how thankless that job is, especially in a high school where the majority of their customers are angst-ridden teenagers. Teenagers stuck within the four walls of high school. On a sunny day in June weʼre serving hungry, stuck, angst-ridden teenagers.

Operation Bridesmaid

This past year I found the love of my life. Quickly after finding him, the relationship weight set in. We ate out all the time and never went to the gym. The unfortunate thought was, “I have a manfriend, why would I care?” It was only in the last couple of months that I did, in fact, begin to care. As I said, I hated looking at myself in photos. During my friend’s bridal shower, my reality moment set in.
