It was not put into so little words but it meant the same, technically. Have u had anyone say to you that you actually look better with more fats? Well, I have.
Let me put it down on record that it’s the most insulting thing I’ve ever heard of from some auntie-in-law. More insulting is that it was conveyed to me through to my hubby. It’s like stab first then twist the knife for the full effect… Oouch!
Yes, I’ve put on a fair amount of weight since my pregnancy days and it is all my doing. I’ve quit gym after freezing my membership for eons, finding no time to go back. Demotivated, with no hope of reforming (pun intended), I’ve let myself slip. Not a lot, 4-5 kgs max, but enough to start the ball rolling.
I spent most of my life controlling my weight, thought about it constantly but today, at thirty plus, I’ve decided to be more lenient on myself. It’s a tough battle which I am not going to sweat out …well, yet. You see, a certain lady at the gym used to get my attention. Now, don’t get any strange ideas, I’m straight. Yet, she inspires me a great deal. She’s probably in her forties, and her body is magnificently fit. I would say, better than most of the young cikus there.
So yeah, I’d like to head that way too. I believe I can do it especially when it comes to regimes like these. Diets are not listed in my vocabulary but thanks anyway.
How do you shed your pounds, anyway?
Hey, don’t feel insulted. Lots of people want to lose weight.
I would say that if it’s affecting your self-image or health, lose the weight. Otherwise, don’t even worry about it.
If you do decide you need to get in shape, just make little changes. There really are no shortcuts. A lot of people write books that promise a miracle cure, but there is none. You eat less and lose weight. It’s that simple.
I lost some weight recently (I still want to drop a few pounds to be honest) just by cutting back. Eat smaller meals… skip snacks entirely… don’t eat at night. It sounds simple, but you have to want it badly enough if you’re going to stick to it.
I think we all know how to lose weight, we’re just looking for a handy shortcut. There are none. Eat less and the pounds melt off.
Best.
