Summer is in full swing in the garden. Many of the flowering plants that bloomed so lushly in the spring have dwindled, although the geraniums are doing well. Last week I had to pull out the wilting Morning Glory vines, and I had to cut back the Cherry Sage so the mosquitos couldn’t hide under it. The garden looks better now after a good trim.
And then there’s my diet. Over the last few months I have been cutting back on how much food I eat. To my surprise, it is actually possible to lose weight. There are times when I feel HUNGRY, but for the most part, cutting back feels better than over-indulging. One thing is certain. I won’t be over-indulging on tomatoes.

As much as I really don’t like to diet (self restriction/yuck), when I am really working a program and it is working, there is something liberating to that feeling of hunger and to eat because I am really hungry and not because I like to eat. I am in control of my body, not my body in control of me. It sort of gets things in the proper balance. I love that feeling. Make sense?
