Summer eating not what it seems

Everybody says summer is the easiest time to lose weight because of all the fresh vegetables and fruits. Well guess again! Its a terrible time for me and always has been. There are too many back yard picnics. Summer means potato salad, macaroni salad, hot dogs, hamburgers, ice cream etc. What's easy about that? Yes, I'm complaining! I ate 300 calories over my limit yesterday and I am bummed!

  1. When we were little, my mom used to survive the Summer months on a diet that mostly consisted of tomatoes and corn on the cob. I wouldn't suggest that diet though. Looking back at pictures of my mom at that time, she looked anorexic.

  3. It might not be too bad with some small amounts of other foods added in. I'd imagine it would be pretty rough on one's system though.

  4. I totally agree - even though one always thinks that during the summer, one will be more active, eat more fresh fruits & vegetables...the reality is that I keep going on vacation to places with great beer, pasta, pizzas, bagels...yummy restaurants to try...and I've already gained back half the weight I've tried so hard to lose during the earlier part of the year!
