A few months ago they switched to floating IP addresses, so that has made it difficult to pin down. Well, today we are back online, but heard that they may not have found the offender. So, tomorrow we may go down again. Who knows?
Anyway, back to this topic: The "bite diet" is something my sister told me about. It is a diet in which you get to eat 11 bites of food (well-balanced) and a slightly sweetened drink twice a day and 21 bites of balanced foods with a similar drink twice a day. I cannot get the foods that they recommend, but I do suspect that limiting the number of bites eaten per day cannot help but limit what I eat and hopefully allow my stomach to shrink so I can lose weight long-term.
As far as what I am hoping we could avoid, it is everyone telling everyone else how to lose weight. I think that most people are like me, I just want to run and hide when someone says that they lost X number of pounds doing X. I feel frightened that I will do X and fail to lose, or worse yet, that I will start X and fail to persist and feel like a failure. So, I see nothing wrong with someone's saying that they are trying such and such a thing because we will all just watch to see if it works.
I confess that I have not tried very hard this week. Starting up teaching again has been difficult and we have had students here constantly, so it is hard to do. However, that is not an excuse, so I will try to do better through the coming days!
Thanks for being here to listen!
