Food

I love food. Unfortunately, it makes me fat. I've also got food sensitivities that have plagued me my whole life. I'm allergic to milk and yeast, at least, which makes eating out an adventure sometimes.

Before starting my diet, my wife and I had many favorite restaurants. Houston is a great city for eating out, which is one of the reasons I'm now on a diet. Fortunately, I can still usually find something to eat at most restaurants.

Atkin's Diet

I've recently started the Atkins Diet (around July 1, 2001) and have so far lost about twenty pounds (as of July 23, 2001). I'm extremely happy about that as I've tried diets and exercise and nothing has really worked in the past. Unfortunately, I have little will power, so restricting calories enough to lose weight is very hard for me. With a full-time job and a full-time baby, I don't have a lot of time for exercise. Anyway, Atkins and exercise when I can is working like magic. Try it, it's not just for weight loss.
