I love to bake. I love to eat what I bake. And my body has paid the price. Last summer I finally decided to get serious about losing the excess weight I've accumulated over many years, and that meant baking less frequently. I haven't done anything drastic to lose weight - no pills or surgery or crazy low calorie diets. Just upped the exercise (a lot!) and tracked what I eat to stay within a reasonable calorie limit. So I do still bake, and I do still eat yummy stuff - but I had to cut it down a bit! I will be posting more delicious treats as the weather cools and I'm able to use the oven more comfortably, but did want to share the difference a year of mindful eating and steady exercise can make. I'm about halfway to my goal weight now:
