The internet can be so rude at times.

I’ve never been one to deny myself good food, even if it’s said to be bad for me, though I don’t over indulge. Lately however I weighed and measured myself and the internet declared me to be overweight. I was brought up to not comment on people’s weight, appearance, pimples etc so I was a bit put out being told that I’m overweight, though to be fair I did ask. I’ll not make that mistake again. And then maybe the scales are off - that must be it. Anyway I got an app (all the best people seem to have apps for everything so why not me?) and I record my food intake each day. All that I’ve changed is to cut out chocolate, fizzy drinks and potato chips which is no bother at all, but it seems that I’m ingesting fewer calories than the internet wants me to consume, not more. So what gives? My suspicion is that my problem is a lack of exercise. I’m doing only about 2000 steps a day so I can increase that, but maybe I’m just meant to be how I am. I’m certainly not going to deny myself when I go to Italy in September, nor on my trip to England next week - good food makes a holiday for me. If my diet is fine, what do you suggest I do to shed 10 pounds?
