Again, I Am Touting The Wonder Of Sauerkraut

Hello weight losing fans....

Today I stepped up onto the Magical-Mystical-Digital-Scale weighing in at 175-pounds.

Are you surprised? You aren't nearly as surprised as I am. It's an unexpected pleasant surprise for sure.

I am thinking what has contributed to this success? What in my eating formula has changed that I have found myself suddenly at this weight?

I have to say I really believe it's because I have added in the sauerkraut to my diet. I eat at least one cup of sauerkraut each day. I try to eat more than that. On some days my schedule doesn't permit it.

I am not doing anything different than I was. Oh, I do some exercises. I really think my success is because of the sauerkraut. When I started eating this fermented vegetable, I noticed it acted like a natural hunger suppressant.

I don't know the scientific explanation for it. Perhaps it's mainly because it acts like a big hulk of bulk in my stomach that takes up space. Perhaps there is a little known chemical that the fermented cabbage has that aids in food digestion. Perhaps it has a chemical that helps suppress hunger. I don't know for sure.

I do know this. When I started eating the sauerkraut I found: It was easier to keep to my 1,500 calorie target. It was doing something for my appetite. I felt full after eating it and some other food. When I consumed the sauerkraut, and the other fermented vegetables, my 180-pound target started changing. I started seeing myself dropping below 180-pounds more often.
I began hanging around below 180-pounds of weight, instead of hovering over it.

I honestly don't know all the factors that the sauerkraut contribute. However, with a lower calorie intake of food, along with the sauerkraut, I got the changes I am looking for.

I am encouraging you to add sauerkraut to your diet. Oh, when I was growing up, I used to hate when my mother served it. However, as an adult, I have gotten used to eating it.

One thing I do recommend though: Keep your toothbrush handy. Yeah, I have had people ask me about my breath as a result of eating it. Ooops...

And believe me, I am very, very aware of my breath, and brush my teeth often. Along with that I rinse my mouth with mouthwash often as well.
I also carry around a packet of low-sugar gum to freshen my breath.

Controversy Arising About Me Losing More Weight
Today I called and told one of my family members the good news that I had hit the new bench mark of 175-pounds. She guessed it right away I hit this weight.

I asked her how she knew. She said because I have been talking about it so much. She also noticed that the last time I visited, I didn't dive head long into all her goodies. (Not while she was awake I didn't.) I call her house the "Den Of Chocolate." It's because every food cabinet in the house and the refrigerator has chocolate in it. It's the good stuff that I like so much.

Anyway, she guessed my new weight. Then she said now stop there. She said that I would look awful if I lost more weight. She exclaimed my eyes would sink into my head, and my face would look gaunt.

She isn't the only person who seems to think I have lost enough weight. Some of the people that I work with think I have lost enough weight. Like their opinion really matters to me? I have other family members who have remarked the same thoughts: I have lost enough weight.

So, I am in a quandary here. My height and weight charts say clearly I should be 160-170 pounds. I can see on my tummy a roll of fat that must go. There is no other way to get rid of it, except to diet it off. Oh, I used that word diet. Bad, Bad word.

So, what do I do? I don't know...
