Donuts will set you free!

So many people these days are very anti-junk food. The reason = too many Americans are extremely overweight.

Junk food is not the enemy. Moderation is. Most people that suffer from a weight issue can't control themselves. I put extremely thin people in the same category. They diet excessively and drop too much weight = walking skeletons. This is just as bad as obesity.

I'm someone that likes to indulge in a few donuts each week. I'm not the size of a small house with legs. I also like to have hamburgers and pizzas. You can have junk food regularly and not have an obesity issue. The main thing that you have to remember is moderation. Don't overeat. Stop when you are full. Don't finish your plate. Don't bring home leftovers.

Delete from your mind that old saying = "Finish your plate! There are starving people in Africa!"

When I helped my mother drop 40 pounds = that old saying was the first thing that I had to erase from her mind. I had to condition her to stop when she was full and throw away food. It was difficult but she eventually broke the habit of cleaning her plate. She lost the weight and kept it off. With the weight off, she can now enjoy walks around the park and other outside activities. The extra weight was making outside activities difficult for her. She is much happier now.

The main thing I stress is that you don't have to give up certain foods. Everything on the food table is essential for your body = including sweets. You just have to watch your intake. Don't overdo it.

Donuts are one of my favorite foods. I would never give them up. I have a local donut shop in Louisiana that sells the best donuts in the whole area. If you are ever in Louisiana, visit Terrytown Donuts. Their donuts make me very happy. I've enjoyed their donuts for years. Nothing like a nice HOT donut to make the world seem less crappy!

Take care,
