Cabbage soup? Oh no, the scales couldn’t be right! My weight just seemed to be going up again. I’ve always had to watch my weight. I lost weight as an adolescent when I stopped eating four homemade biscuits with butter at each meal. They would melt in my mouth. It was like a little taste of sunshine, but the sunshine put the pounds on me. Now I was in my early 30s, a home economist and a mother of a young daughter. I wanted to shed about 10 pounds, so along came the cabbage soup diet. It sounded simple and easy. Just eat cabbage soup for one or two meals a day. I knew I could do that. I cooked up a big batch of soup to have in the refrigerator to eat after a hectic day at work. However, the cabbage soup diet only lasted a week. It tasted awful. Finally, I couldn’t eat anymore, and I threw it in the ditch. The dog wouldn’t even taste it either. At age 57, I have found that the Curves diet plan of sensible, balanced nutrition and exercise works best for me, and I feel good! Mary Kay Cox | Four Oaks | South River EMC
