After so many years minding my food and my workouts, and still finding myself not as thin as I liked, and with discouraging and confounding fluctuations, I was finally seeking help to answer the question “What is the least I need to eat to meet my nutritional needs for my height, weight and age and be done with this, already!”  I’ll do it!  I love vegetables!  I’m well trained to eat them!  Of course I love mocha coffees and french fries, too, so just let me know how to squeeze it all in and boom!  Let me be ATAP. As thin as possible! I don’t want to exercise to stay thin, I want to eat as little as I need to melt away to my natural weight eating the least food I need.  Let me differentiate nutrition and exercise into their respective parts.  What do I need to eat for my nutritional needs ~ What is the least I need to eat!?  That question drove me to a nutritionist ~  I had worked with one once before, when I was pregnant, so that I ate super well for me and baby ~ And I have had my eye on the calories and scale since after my high school freshman year, I gained those 15 pounds (oh, delicious high school cafeteria chocolate chip cookie, who knew!?  Not like I was eating a box of cookies, just one thin delicious brick-shape a day! every day!  Oh, dear Weight Watchers, with thanks for making tomatoes and zucchini a meal) ~
