The experiment has ended. I tried going through the holidays eating as I thought a "naturally slender" person would eat -- really tried! I did not track or keep count of calories, but I was mindful. I did lose some weight at first, though, honestly, it was because my throat was so sore I couldn't swallow! Now the wine quantity has slowly crept up and a carb or two is slipping in "between the slats." I think I have to accept the fact that, at this stage in my life at least, I am NOT a "naturally slender" person! So, back to the slog of tracking -- the most difficult part of it being trying to estimate calories when I haven't cooked the food myself. Regrettably, the need to track will be part of my life. . .at least if I want to lose weight or at least stay stable. Sigh.
