Sunday Weigh In....Pictures of Us


Another Sunday and another weigh in.....

How bout' this picture.....How many times have I looked into the mirror and done this!

Only to capture a glimpse of myself in a photo, or a store window, and be shocked at that person who is staring back at me.

I wonder why my mind play those funny little games?

I also have become memorized by the concept of fat. Its such an insidious substance...

When exactly does it come, at night while I sleep?

How does it get there with out being noticed?

Why can't I see it until its too late and by then I have this big roll of fat hanging over my pants?

Then when I finally accept the fact that its really there and I have have to do something about it, why does it stick to me like glue and I can't get rid of it?

And the biggest question; WHY JUST BECAUSE I"M OVER 50 DOES IT HAVE TO BE SO HARD?

Seriously, I think about this a lot, to me, fat is a fascinating subject.

I have a Eastern Nutrition class and each of us is to pick a topic to write a paper about, and then we have to prepare an Chinese meal based on this topic, and then serve it up to the class as we discuss our paper.

I of course picked the subject of obesity....

Can you imagine what the dish I'm going to prepare and what it will taste like? How can you cook a meal that is tasty to treat being fat? Trust me, food to get rid of fat is never good, no matter what anyone says.

I'm going to do a fat loss soup recipe which I posted awhile back on my blog, but I am going to do the fat loss fast for the week before and take pictures..HA....I'll get an A for the effort...I really have never fasted, so it should be interesting.

Anyone one to do it with me?...probably not.....

Did you know the Chinese say that fat is the accumulation of Phlegm and Damp? If that statement interests anyone as it does me, click the link and read about this fascinating subject.

Enough of myself already....here we are this Sunday. I am afraid that I'm stuck at 17.2% body fat. I can't shake it off.....Its sticking to me like glue. But I am seeing this thing through, I am hanging in there.....Here we are for our Sunday Weigh In and Pictures of Us!

Sorry you're stuck! You still look fabulous to me, I can't see where you can lose anything else unless you lose muscle. But I know nothing about the subject.
Glad to see Daisy is better, I think it's funny that on Sunday morning you're up and around and the dogs are still sleeping in!

You're doing something right!

Thanks so much...this is a three month quest....its been really difficult, but it is soon to be over.....at least for a while.

My goal is to get in tip top shape and keep the weight off through moderation and exercise.

Would you be so kind as to share your diet details with me? I've skimmed through your site and seen some references to soup and the picture of the tortillas with egg whites and salsa (looks good!), but I'd love to know exactly how you're achieving your weight loss. I did Weight Watchers a few years ago and lost 35 pounds (along with exercise) but have gained it back. I need a new plan!

Thanks!
