I could eat whatever I wanted, and I still do, unfortunately. And like you, I can't pass up the bagels and cakes people bring into the office. I think if someone put heroin in front of me, I'd be like, "Sure, why not?" Not the picture of willpower.<BR/><BR/>Damn that metabolism! I've never lost weight in my life. It's been a slow climb; I've put on 10 pounds in the past 5 years. At this rate, if I live to be 100, they'll have to bury me in a piano case.Vegas Linda Louhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17653067016683159930noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2769421174915183360.post-37380937751066662592009-03-10T16:51:00.000-05:002009-03-10T16:51:00.000-05:00When you find out let me know pronto....I hate the...When you find out let me know pronto....I hate the damn muffin top but have NO motivation.Wunderwomanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11375389330934161968noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2769421174915183360.post-1635456654218232862009-03-10T16:07:00.000-05:002009-03-10T16:07:00.000-05:00I'd tell you my secret...but since I weigh 300 lbs...I'd tell you my secret...but since I weigh 300 lbs I don't think I have one!nikkicrumpethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06127473424859610429noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2769421174915183360.post-54659890655945517352009-03-10T15:56:00.000-05:002009-03-10T15:56:00.000-05:00Hi, stumbled upon your blog right into the DIET t...Hi, stumbled upon your blog right into the DIET thing. I used to do ballet dancing, was thin as a stick as long as I can remember, now I am in pre-menopause and had to add - very quickly actually - new words to my vocabulary: law of gravity and weight loss. Had to completely change my eating habbit and work out every day for 20 min at home. However alone the thought of food settles on my hips. Guess I have to learn to love me as I am now.

Since I've married him, I've had to work harder than ever to keep weight off (some times I do better than other times).<BR/><BR/>And I jog/walk three to five mornings a week (seriously, I get up at 4:30 a.m. just so I can get some track time). <BR/><BR/>I may not be winning the weight war, but I'll go down fighting!<BR/><BR/>P.S. It probably helps that I busy as hell at work and I'm doing good to eat a protein bar for lunch.

My belly button hasn't seen the light of day for the past two years. <BR/><BR/>My only motivation is not being fat, and even that comes and goes depending on the day.<BR/><BR/>My husband snores and I just got finished reading an article about how losing sleep actually makes you gain weight. <BR/><BR/>I KNEW I'd find a way to pin this on a man!<BR/><BR/>P.S.

I never do it on purpose, and like you were, I'm not happy with it, but for some reason people think it's ok to tell a person they look too skinny. You would never tell someone they look to fat! <BR/><BR/>Sorry, rant over. <BR/><BR/>Anyway, judging by your pic, I think you're gorgeous as you are, and if you want a treat, you should have a treat. <BR/>I swear, guilt adds calories. <BR/>If you're really worried about it though, a general rule of thumb is you can be bad 20% of the time, as long as you're good for the other 80%. <BR/>Another thing is to set aside a "treat day". So say, Sunday, you eat whatever you want but stick to your diet the rest of the week in the knowledge that you can have cake on Sunday.Anna Russellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01950324339154028297noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2769421174915183360.post-53558423918019661862009-03-09T19:27:00.000-05:002009-03-09T19:27:00.000-05:00I sure as hell doesn't mean we're going to give up...I sure as hell doesn't mean we're going to give up El Merado for lunch. <BR/><BR/>Bikinis are over rated.
