I began the WFPB diet 4 weeks ago today on 24 February 2014. I then weighed 412 pounds. Today I weighed me and I now weigh 392 pounds. This is a loss of 20 pounds in 4 weeks for an average loss of 5 pounds a week.
When I began this diet I resolved to stay on it at least 3 month, no matter what. Then I would evaluate it based on 3 factors. First, will I lose weight on this diet. Second, do I have more energy and is my overall health improving. Third, will I be able to stay on this diet for the rest of my life or will the food be so bad that I can't adjust. To date I can give a resounding YES!!! to all three of these criteria. Thank you, thank you, thank you Jane Birch for helping me find the solution to a problem that has plagued me all my life. I really believe my diet dilemma has been solved.
Last Wednesday, March 19, was our 55th wedding anniversary. I told my wife I would take her out to eat any place she wanted and I would try to find something on the menu I could eat. She loves pizza so she picked the Pizza Pie Cafe. They have a salad bar so I took my bottle of fat free balsamic vinaigrette dressing and had a really nice salad. They also have a pasta bar so I had some whole wheat pasta and marinara sauce. Yummy, yummy.
Yesterday I had soup for lunch and again for dinner. It was Dr. McDougall's vegan soup. I had minestrone for lunch and chunky tomato for supper. They were both really good.
It has been a great month and I have a lot of hope for the future. Thanks everyone for your encouraging comments and prayers.
Forever strong in life,
Larry Strong
Great job, Larry!
