Weight used to fall off when we were younger, now it takes a blasted jack hammer to budge it.<br />Proud of your 26 pounds loss. You go girl.<br />Bok choy those last pounds away.<br /><br />Too funny Barry. All my mirrors have signs above them that say, "Clothing required." You are a jogger, you should be in fine fettle.<br /><br />Peter,<br />Funny as always Peter. It is usually the portly that insist we pile on the plate and push dessert on us. Misery does love company.<br />Being polite has pretty much gotten me where I am also. Some where deep in me there has to be a rude soul that can just say "No thanks" and not worry about offending.Arkansas Pattihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14156004753267665579noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1509736677359366469.post-77023747243781784362009-07-19T23:59:48.290-05:002009-07-19T23:59:48.290-05:00Good luck with it Patti.

I know I should be more diciplined about what I eat, and realise that this is my own responsability, but funny thing is, I still seem to end up with extra portions of this and that when I go out, given to me by people who "should not eat an extra potato", or who's doctor has ordered them to "cut back on calories". I was brought up to eat what is given to me, and do genuinly find it hard to say "no", because it seems ungrateful and might give offence... silly isn't it! For some reason people think that what will hurt them, will not hurt me..., (or maybe they are trying to kill me!)

I discovered Colgate Wisps, they are cute little tooth brushes filled with paste and have a dental pick on the end. They work great, are itty bitty, and you don't have to spit. Besides, I've tried the window washer fluid and that stuff could kill you, tastes like sheeeit, too.<br />For the exercise program I use my itty bitty* Slot Radio by SanDisk.<br />*These are the only itty bitty things around here.Brighidhttp://brighidsplace.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1509736677359366469.post-91598376646601206572009-07-19T11:08:00.622-05:002009-07-19T11:08:00.622-05:00Patty,

Maybe I just need to find where they buy their mirrors and stay away from cameras.<br /><br />Abe,<br />Thanks, it is alway good to know you are not alone.<br />Good luck with pick a peck. I am now following.<br /><br />Nancy,<br />How funny. Can just see me using the windshield washer as I breeze down the road.<br />Actually you do have a good idea. No reason why I can't brush in the rest room while everyone else is getting dessert. I have come across people doing that in restrooms. I just always thought they were really fussy about their teeth.<br /><br />Betsy,<br />Thanks for making me feel OK. I never had a weight problem till I quit smoking, that is when I discovered food had taste.<br />I don't want to lose it all back to my high school weight for I think we older folks need a bit a of extra weight in case of illness. I call it money in the bank. However, there is a happy medium here.<br /><br />Linda <br />Thank you so much. Comments like yours brighten my day.<br /><br />robin,<br />I just saw his book on the best sellers list this morning and wondered about it. Glad to get a personal review. Sugar, fat and salt are my triggers though I am not sure what is left to eat.<br />Seriously, my library doesn't have it so I may just buy it.

In fact there's a new book out by David Kessler, former head of the FDA, called <b>The End of Overeating</b> that addresses the kinds of food we eat and why it adds the pounds. It takes a whole new way of seeing food and nourishment, but it really is worth the effort. Good luck with it, and dance on!robin andreahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13390482190562312928noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1509736677359366469.post-20116815333728389762009-07-19T10:06:05.892-05:002009-07-19T10:06:05.892-05:00I love your blog.

I gained 60 pounds with him--and have struggled since. I used to be able to lose easily and could drop ALOt of weight quickly. BUT--I'd always gain it back plus some. My yo-yo way of living and eating has killed me. NOW--no matter what I do (eat healthy and exercise), I have a hard time losing any weight. I guess I just have to realize that God didn't make me to be skinny. I needed to learn to love myself being FAT. AND--i've tried to do that... BUT--I still wish I could get that 50 pounds off I have gained since 2001.

But there is nothing to stop you from brushing in your car on the way home. Here's how.<br /><br />Pre paste your toothbrush and bring it, along with a paper cup, to the luncheon. Say goodbye to the girls and rush to your car.<br /><br />As you drive out of the parking lot,turn on your windshield washers and they will spray enough water that,if you hold your toothbrush out the driver's window,it will get suffiently wet.<br /><br />Brush thoroughly,then hold your paper cup out the window, hit the washer button again and get enough water to rinse. But DON'T SPIT.<br />That would be gauche.<br /><br />Let me know how this works out for you.Nancynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1509736677359366469.post-16625537096062836742009-07-19T07:20:26.560-05:002009-07-19T07:20:26.560-05:00I laughed a couple of times, reading this post, an...I laughed a couple of times, reading this post, and have some idea of what you are saying. I tried to cut out snacks and that helped as did cutting out carbs for the most part. But some things get the best of me.<br /><br />Now, you and your friends can help me Make History.
