Shut my mouth
While I would not consider or refer to a friend who is the same height/weight as I am @ any given moment as a "fat cow".... no matter where I'm at, I still can view myself that way....... and I'm beginning to understand how I personally help perpetuate this CRAZY MENTALITY OF what's *acceptable* and what isn't........ for…

Thanksgiving- Just isn't the same without___________
Aside from the main course, what ONE side dish do you consider to be a MUST on your Thanksgiving table (family tradition)??? For me, it's kluski noodles and gravy. I could skip everything else and just have them and SMILE :) ( but they're MUCH better with mashed potatoes)

Missing Disclaimer on Exercise Videos
Dad: " Gee thanks for the exercise video, Kiddo, but I had to return it to the store." Me: "Why? Was there something wrong with it?" Dad: " YEAH...did you know they expect you to actually PARTICIPATE?" [groan] :tongue: on a side note: he did say the pretty girls in the aerobic tights did get his heart rate WAY up :laugh:…

Are foggy memories a common occurrence?
I've been having *flashbacks* lately- little *snippets* of scenes popping in my head, like clips from a movie- except I can recall emotions and even some smells- not just sights & sounds. In all these, I am drowsy- almost in a fog-and I wake up to the abuse going on- but I see the voice/face of someone I always loathed-…

Feeble Attempt @ compliments
Something the world needs to know: I just may have this tattooed to remind them- No matter how well intentioned you think you're being, telling someone how great they look cuz they've lost a TON of weight is about as stupid as saying, "yes, you look like a cow in that dress." What bass-akwards compliments have you…

Proud member of the NAOF club
Not An Old Fart I am beginning to realize that the OLD FART mentality is NOT based on chronological age, it's attitude. It's apathy about getting older, and resigning oneself to sitting on the sidelines, being a SPECTATOR, rather than a PARTICIPANT- because it takes too much energy ( often accompanied by a neglect of ones'…

FOOD for thought
I keep trying to lose weight, but it keeps finding me. Most people gain weight by having intimate dinners for two. . . alone. The toughest part of a diet isn't watching what you eat. It's watching what other people eat. There are two things you should never eat before Breakfast: Lunch and Dinner.
