Finding health through lifestyle changes after decades of bad habits is not easy. Generally, for a 60 year old, I’m in pretty good health. My big issue is high cholesterol and needing to get some weight off my me (and my knees).
I’m investigating options. I’m leaning towards plant-based, whole foods. I’ve given up beef and most pork (still love bacon). I’ve limited chicken to rarely but not ready to give up seafood. Giving up or cutting back the sugar habit I think is going to be the hardest part. I may have to give up coffee cause I only really like it with cream and sugar and I think that’s what gets the sugar craving started every day.
I do well most of the day but evenings and social gatherings sabotage me all the time. Is it that willpower gets tired? The social aspect of fitting in with friends? Watching TV? Not enough crafting time to distract me from food?
Thoughts or suggestions anyone?
