Today I stepped up onto the Magical-Digital-Scale weighing in at 186.4-pounds. Hey, I am pretty happy about that. This makes it five days in a row that I have weighed in under 190-pounds. Perhaps that's the last that I will see of 190-pounds. Well, maybe it will be.
Tomorrow I am going to a friends for a party. There will be food there to temp me. I will want to eat, and eat. I just might.
Will I kick myself if I do? NO, I won't kick myself. I don't make it an everyday thing feasting like there is no tomorrow. If I did that then every pound that I have so painfully lost would be regained; and maybe more than that even.
What I am going to do though is be proactive, act positively in my eating habits. I am going to tip the table over and say oops. No one will want the food after it hits the floor; not even me.
Oh, I make myself laugh.
No, I think tonight I will check myself into the emergency room and demand that my stomach be made smaller tonight. That will fix my problem. NOT...
I could go on and on about what to do when faced with temptations to eat. I could write about silly stuff like I just did.
The truth is am I going to realise that I am in a life long battle with my weight. I haven't lost "The Battle Of The Bulge" by eating a lot on a special day.
The "Battle Of The Bulge" gets lost when someone like me, who has already shed 54-pounds, forgets about the battle. If that will happen, then I will go back to where I came from.
I can't forget the sore knees. I can't forget the poorly fitting clothes. I can't forget my slogging around and huffing and puffing. I can't forget the lethargy.
I was far more frustrated being over weight than I am having to deal with hunger, and the bad habits that provoked my over eating. And, I don't want to have to re-master the skills that I have attained this far in my weight loss season.
- I have learned to look at food and estimate by sight just about how many calories is there.
- I have learned to overlook the bad commentary I get from people as they watch me pull out a paper and pencil to record my food consumption.
- I have learned to deal with gnawing, agonizing hunger pains, in the middle of the day, and at night when I wake up.
- I have learned to walk away from large meals set before me. Well most of the time I do.
- I have learned how to live on way less food than I used to consume. In the past I could eat a frozen pizza in one sitting. Now, I will eat one slice and call that a meal.
I have to continue to look at food under the eye-of-scrutiny. That will be as long as I have my wits about me.
I have beat this drum, and beat this drum to ad-nausea: Eat Less Food.
Don't kill yourself to try and lose weight. Don't play the martyr and fast yourself into oblivion. For goodness sakes learn to be patient with yourself, you didn't put that fat on overnight (Well, maybe you did.) you won't get it off overnight either.
And to hell with the so called experts that you will run into. These are the side liners that have a tummy and fat fanny who try to hand out weight loss advice.
Finally, I am starting a subscription to my special diet-sight on the Internet. It will be filled with diet advice on how to lose weight. It will be cheap compared to what's out there. The only reason I am going to charge anything is because I will have to pay maintenance fees to run the site. Otherwise I wouldn't charge. There will be a money back guarantee for your results. I am throwing in free stomach-by-pass surgery for the really tough cases once I have enough subscribers to the sight.
Also I am starting a new food line. Yep, I am going to manufacturer a new cereal. I have some people working on the process now. I will be using the money I get from subscribers to help fund the project.
The new cereal will be made from cardboard, which is really high in fiber, and low in calories. I am having a special hard, sugar free coating put onto the cardboard cereal. It will be delicious. Just wait and see.
I am now making an exercise video called: "Lose The Fat With Exercise." In the video I will have tight-bodied woman who never struggled with their weight exercising alongside of me for eye-candy. I am going to offer that video at a special price for my online subscribers to my diet sight.
Of course this is all non-sense. But, I think you are getting the gist of what I writing.
It's all sarcasm on my part. It comes down to one thing: Too much food in, and you'll see it on your fanny, legs, face, chest, and stomach.
You, like me, will have to lose weight the old fashion way: EAT LESS FOOD.
Bye for now...

That is very very funny. Did I miss it or do you also offer some magical piece of equipment I can use to carve 6 pack abs in 12 weeks guaranteed? That should also be part of your program...
