Live Below The Line Challenge

Day 6...feeling OK today.


Zoe has learnt that food = happiness for her, and for me too. But what I have really learnt is that I can lose weight, and that the same science applies when you are in your 50s as it does when you're in your 30s i.e. put in less calories than you take out and you will lose weight.  Funny how I try to kid myself that it is harder because I'm older. 


So what has been different?  I think my motivation has been about raising awareness about global poverty and because this is not about me, I have found it very easy to stick to the task.  This has meant I have put a lot less in than the energy I need to live and consequently I have lost 2 pounds, that's weight not money!  So next time I think I need to lose some weight I must ask myself what my motivation is and how important losing weight is to me?  


If like me you believe losing weight gets harder as you get older....think again...it's more like losing weight is less important to you than that glass of wine, piece of chocolate, extra helping of pudding......


Anyway I'm going on holiday soon so the 2 pounds will most likely be found again!
