Once again I find I'm disgusted with myself.
I'm very nearly as heavy as I've been in my life.
When I reach this point, I take drastic measures-
I (we) resort to "The Sacred Heart Soup Diet". (Lazy this morning... you'll have to google it.)
This diet works for us. We both lose 10 pounds in one week when we adhere to it.
We've modified the diet in this way...
We add more vegetables, figuring that more variety and more color add vitamins, minerals, texture, eye appeal, and fiber. We add cabbage, yellow squash, water chestnuts, bamboo shoots, and zucchini.
Yesterday I went shopping for soup ingredients and found everything I needed... EXCEPT the zukes.
I'm looking at a produce section with all we've come to expect... apples, oranges, onions, spuds, etc. in the section that does not require refrigeration. I'm also reviewing a "cool" produce section about 40 feet in length with all sorts of green, red, orange, and yellow stuff that gets "spritzed" down with cool water every few minutes.
I find NO zukes.
And I'm slightly pissed.
Where the heck are the zucchinis?!!
I ask an "associate"...
"We don't have any right now".
Frustrating.
And then it hits me like a 2X4 upside the head...
Unbelievable!
I live in a world where people stand for HOURS, hoping there will still be a loaf of bread available by the time they reach the head of the line to purchase one, and I'm upset there are no zucchinis available to add to the thirteen other veggies I'm gonna add to my soup.
(And I'm at least 25 pounds overweight.)
God forgive me, please.
I/we are SO blessed.
Now, where is the arugula?

May I suggest something that I have worked on for a couple of years.
Two years ago I gave up soda and received as my reward a 35 lbs drop in weight in just under 60 days. It literally fell away.
This last September I took the next step and entered into the "real food" movement which is essentially no sugar, no starch (or very little), and avoidance of processed foods.
The result has been an additional loss of 45 lbs, a blood sugar that has returned to normal and a blood pressure that has returned to a level that once required medication to achieve.
My two cents.
