I have spent most of my life obsessing about my weight/diet. When I started biking, I started thinking about food as fuel. And then with the wakeup call regarding my heart/cholesterol and having two stents put in, I got very serious about it. DH and are eat mostly organic, heart healthy recipes and it really is inexpensive to cook healthier alternatives once you get the hang of it. We have saved a lot not eating out - we go to one locally owned restaurant and they cook our meal to our specifications - we look forward to our once-a-week eatout at our favorite place! The rest of the week I cook our meals - that way I can control what and how much we eat and keep the food healthy. I still have a long way to go to get to my ideal weight, but I feel 100% better!
