Okay, this blog is for those of you who rely on a jump-start from reading other blogs. I am on a lunch break and sped-read some of the blogs, so I have less time to write.
First of all, I'd like to say that I think diets make people crazy. Technically, the word 'diet' is to refer to the regular regimen of food you intake. ie. A dogs diet consists of dog food...or the occassional shoe. We, as worriers, have abused the word diet. Diets, as we know them, are not diets. They are visible moments of temporary insanity and paranoia. Changing one's diet is feesable, but not going on one. You are already on one. It may not be healthy, but admitting that is the first step.
Secondly, I don't think people should pay unGodly amounts of money to have a bell rung for each pound you lose. A woman at work has signed up to lose weight with L.A. Weight Loss. You have to pay for all the weeks they have scheduled you to show up and buy their snack bars. PPHHTTT!! She returned from one of her appointments saying she lost 3 pounds and they ring a bell for each pound. I must confess, in my head I am hearing the loud gong like on the Gong Show. (I just showed my age, didn't I) I can imagine people in the next room waiting for the gong and hearing nothing but air and excuses lingering in the atmosphere. That can be humiliating if you hit a plateau and everyone else gets a chime or gong or whatever.
Thirdly, the rapid loss of weight could lead to psychosis. Another lady at work is on the program. She has lost considerable amount in a very short time. And, it just so happens that she has a thing for men in uniform. There is one particular police officer that she is interested in. She hasn't made her move yet, but she has friends spying on him for her. When she loses a little more weight, she plans on stalking him. I told her that stalking was against the law, to which she replied with a big smile, "I knooow." Crazy!
So, for all you women out there trying to lose weight, don't start a diet. Change your diet. Cut out the stuff your body doesn't need. God made everything your body needs. If it doesn't grow on a vine or tree or from the ground, it's probably not good to indulge too much in that cuisine.
Junk food is okay, in moderation. You all have an advantage over the other ladies... you're already moving. If you haven't lost weight, don't worry. You're not any larger than you were and I don't recall anyone needing an 'I make wide turns' sign on their back.
We're Women, We're Curvy, Get Use To It!
After all I have said, if you still feel that you don't like what you see in the mirror, may I suggest turning off the lights and viewing by candlelight. (Have you noticed that Dove chocolate commercial has a woman in soft lighting...huh? Seeeee.)
