We’ve all been
there, done that……when you can’t decide what to eat, instead of eating a good
square meal, one resorts to impulsive grazing in the kitchen. In this manner, without
noticing or meaning to, we can consume large amounts, not to mention those nasty
calories that relentlessly hug our hips and other areas where least desired.
The saying “what passes the lips ends up on the hips” may sound cliché, but
true it is!
Ever find yourself
standing with the fridge door open, just staring inside? You know full well
what’s in there, but somehow you hope that inspiration will hit you, or some forgotten
delicious goody will magically appear and jump right off the shelf and smack
you on the nose. Eating for comfort is common place, but when your mobility is
compromised, one can ill afford to carry extra weight, which puts unnecessary
strain on joints and limbs.
Burning off extra
calories isn’t always possible when chronically ill, but to deny oneself
favourite foods or the occasional special treat seems harsh. Life is hard
enough without being punished by making small pleasures, such as certain foods
exempt. Exercise of some sort should be a regular part of our daily routine,
but like myself you may have neglected this important activity. Only recently I
began swimming on a regular basis and regret not having started this a long
time ago. Better late than never I guess.
