    I didn’t have much money, and my doctor told me I was eating twice as much as I should so I figured I’d cut my grocery bills in half. One trick I learned was that if I was hungry I’d drink a big glass of water and wait fifteen minutes. If I was still hungry I’d have more water and wait another fifteen minutes. If I was still hungry I’d have a small bowl of pasta or rice with vegetables.

    Got down to my ideal weight in about six months, alongside a lot of manual labor getting and keeping a house ready for sale. It also helped that I didn’t have a significant other, so mealtimes weren’t social.
