Good Food Dilemma

So, I stepped on the scale today... poor thing just about popped a spring. I've been eating better foods for over a month. Not a long time I know but the damage so far has been amazing! I have gained 15lbs! What the Hell is that about!

Since I am longer have being fed through a window (like a modern human example of feedlot beef.) I am eating more often. Well actually I am eating more....I feel much better, my joints do not hurt and I feel lighter but the scale disagrees about the feeling lighter. This causes my dilemma.... if eating better is leading to weight gain what do I need to do to reverse this?

The easiest answer is to eat less and exercise more..... True and very much a doable solution. That does not fully address the situation however. I refuse to give up foods that I enjoy and if eating better is going to require me to use restraint then I must. What I am finding "interesting" is that fast food is supposed to be so bad for us. It is I know but one of the by-products should of been weight loss when I stopped eating it right?

Just because one is eating right does not mean one is eating the right amounts....

Here's to my weight loss!

Best wishes,

Hmmm...
Why is this having the opposite effect on me? I've lost weight and improved my health at the same time...Is it because of my diabetes and perhaps my bod needs the calories differently?
