Way to Go!

A friend was telling me about her weight loss.  She had lost 47 pounds ("three to go," she said), in nine months and had gone from a size 18 to a size 8.  Intrigued, I asked if she'd followed a special program.

"No," she said, "I eat my normal food.  I just made these changes:

 I eat less, about half as much as I did before;

 I don't take seconds;

 I don't eat late at night;

 I quit associating food with emotions -- ever;

 I drink lots of water."

She looked great and felt great.  Sounds like a fine plan to me.
