Weight Loss Stories

 
Weight loss stories is a fun place to share your success or lack of success in losing weight. There have been some bumps in the road, for those of us who have tried to lose weight. The biggest problem, for most, is a mental acceptance to lose weight. We generally want to eat when we think of food. It must be bred into us. Food...eat. Dieting can be stressful for many of us and when we become stressed, we eat.
Do you have a humorous story in your struggle to lose weight? Why not share it on Oldie Newbie? It may help someone in the same situation. 
WE have added an e mail link where you can send your story as well as your weight loss goals and successes.. 

Choc"o"holic

Most times, she didn't get hers because I ate it. Someone told me,that admitting your problem to others, was a start to a cure.
One night I was in a large group of people and we were given an opportunity to share. Nervously, I stood up and said
I'm a Choc"o"holic (is there such a word). People laughed, but just admitting to others that I had a longing or an addiction to
chocolate has helped me deal with my over indulgence.

Dark chocolate -- not white chocolate -- lowers high blood pressure, say Dirk Taubert, MD, PhD, and colleagues at the University of Cologne, Germany.

Their report appears in the Aug. 27 issue of The Journal of the American Medical Association.

 

 

Dark chocolate is naturally rich in flavonoids (or more specifically, flavanols, a sub-class of these antioxidants). These compounds are thought to lower blood pressure

and help protect against heart disease—among other things....
