cut your portions in half

Not too hard to figure and guaranteed to make a difference. Well, actually, I'll let you know.
I'm now reading a quirky book called "Mr. America" by Mark Adams, the true story of early 1900s health advocate Bernarr Macfadden. O.k., I couldn't resist the cover which comments on salad, sex and the starvation diet.
Talk about pulling yourself up by your bootstraps, if this guy made it..well..we'll see...
So, I managed to walk up to the mailboxes (1 mile) and then eat half portions of yogurt and fruit and nuts.
Let's see how long this lasts.
That's always the problem. I cave after a couple days of hunger.
Plus I have the grandkids today. while they automatically provide exercise, they also beg to make cookies and such. So, we'll make energy bars but I saw a recipe for chicken and waffles (sweet potato waffles!) in Bon Appetit magazine. ah, so, here come the portion control.
Good luck with that.
Hanging in there. Still trying. Hope springs eternal.
