200 Calories-worth of Bagel

I’ve been on a bit of a diet recently – trying to drop about 20lbs or so before my 40th birthday in May.  So far I’ve been keeping it simple – mostly portion-control and smart food/drink choices.  I’ve been laying off the booze (although that’s partly a function of being busy in other aspects of life), sticking mostly to water rather than iced-tea or soft drinks, I have been keeping cookies and other snacks out of the house, and generally trying to eat lots more vegetables and lots fewer carbs.

I’ll write more about that and my progress separately, but because of all of this, I found this series of photos interesting.
