The blog concept

Hello everyone!

I apologize to anyone who was misled by the blog URL... this isn't going to be about the Filipino diet, but rather, about my journey as I go on a diet, and I just happen to be Filipino.


Of course, being Filipino (Canadian, actually, but with a Filipino background), you will get a glimpse of what I eat, so I guess it will also be, albeit indirectly, about the Filipino diet.  :)


So how did this blog come to be?


I was texting with my sister-in-law yesterday, and we were whining about how difficult it is to try to lose weight, especially as we grow older.  So, I decided to test whether my journey would be a bit easier by documenting my experience.  And then thought... why not document and share it with the world?   My sharing this will hopefully help with my motivation, and perhaps also contribute somewhat to YOUR motivation, if you are also on a similar journey.


Dieting is tough because eating is so pleasurable!  


But I still stand by the concept that it is not necessary to stop eating pleasurable foods to lose or maintain weight.  Hypothesis must be put to the test.


So, here we go.
