Happy days!

I have no idea of what your weight situation is, but I'll pass along one
thing from my experiences.

I was having some BP problems, and went on medication.

A year or so later, I decided to lose some weight, but I resolved to do it
without a diet, but just eat smaller portions of everything.

It worked. 5 months later, I had gone from 195 to 175. No exercise
increase, no cutting out certain foods. Just less.

Guess what. No more BP medicine is necessary, now.
