Don't Worry About Loosing Weight
Don't worry about loosing weight - you'll eventually find it. Speaking personally, this has always been my experience.
There are a number of causes of this "feature" largely related to eating too much and exercising not enough, but one of the causes is portion control. This Saturday, I make my standard recipe of spaghetti, which I ate with a salad. I had leftovers, so this week I had two meals of spaghetti and salad.
Except my recipe makes enough for 4 people - 4 hungry people. In short, I ate 33% more than 1 serving of spaghetti.
This is in part because I like my recipe, and in part because, when looking at the 3rd spaghetti dinner of the week, a 4th dinner is not that appealing. There is a solution - namely freeze say half of whatever I cook, thus allowing me to eat the other half in a more portion-controlled manner.
I've been reluctant to do this, in part because it's what old people do. Then I noticed the gray hair in the mirror (it's above the size 2X gut). Hello, freezer.
