I don't think many of the folks who have lived to a healthy ripe old age somehow escaped some indulgences or poor lifestyle choices along the way.

Let's try again.<br />I don't know about weight loss, but I keep my beautiful six-pack (well, maybe 1/2 pack) by reading your blog. Wait, I have to wipe away the tears. Incidentally, I totally blame you for my laugh lines. On the other hand, there is that 1/2 pack so...never mind, it all gets balanced out. <br />Now, a little bit of off-topic musing: I've often wondered if the "desperation" factor, the type of strange, weird, attempts to lose weight, differ among those who had a weight problem most of their lives, vs. people for whom weight gain was a later development. I don't know about anyone else, but my occasional experiences with weight gain, came later in life and felt "episodic". It seemed like I was "off" for a bit, but I'd get back on track and be fine. For this reason, I was less likely to try extremely bizarre interventions to get back to normal. <br />I wonder what I may have been willing to do, were I to suffer from a lifetime of image...issues, from feeling insecure, criticized, laughed at or ridiculed. I just don't know. Cotton balls may have seemed like a reasonable way to quiet the screaming (in my stomach and my brain). dlambhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16499771234654872541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1704170106558126102.post-91093726319222221212013-12-12T12:53:56.353-05:002013-12-12T12:53:56.353-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.dlambhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16499771234654872541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1704170106558126102.post-80108538557075425742013-12-11T19:12:24.824-05:002013-12-11T19:12:24.824-05:00Well, Crabby - I happen to think that ingesting la...Well, Crabby - I happen to think that ingesting largish amounts of healthy stuff like spinach with tons of those wonderful micronutrients is a GOOD thing and that anyone so inclined to chow down should do so with complete abandon!! AND I think it that's what they do - absent some serious straying into other areas - the weight stuff will settle itself out just fine :)<br /><br />That said - I have gone through many, many a silly scheme with myself as lab rat. If you can imagine what the Little Rascals or Three Stooges might have come up with, that's pretty close to what I've probably tried or at least given serious thought to through the years. <br /><br />And then there's the Fran Lebowitz High Stress Diet which she wrote about decades ago (so - don't be expecting anything remotely, conceivably healthy). As I recall, the basics were you could eat whatever you wanted in whatever quantity as long as accompanied by equal number of cigs and cups of coffee and preferably a call to a high-pressure not so supportive parental unit.<br /><br />What I did for a few years (decades ago) was pretty much exactly that! (No breakfast; lunch was usually a Snickers bar or something along those lines; cigarettes and coffee all day until dinner which was simply one giant plate of food. <br /><br />Oh yeah... I was thin. AND any more time spent doing that and I probably wouldn't be here to write this pathetic little reply to the post. Plus, I'm sure this likely resulted in long term impact/consequences that I now choose to ignore. Or just tell myself that current virtuous efforts have magically 'erased' some of that. Did I mention I also believe in Tinkerbelle and magic pixie dust???<br />AnonAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1704170106558126102.post-49698339676104698042013-12-11T15:23:57.510-05:002013-12-11T15:23:57.510-05:00Your judgy pants make for entertaining comments, T...Your judgy pants make for entertaining comments, Trabb's Boy. :-D I agree with you, though. So many people don't realize the reality of keeping weight off once it's been lost. It is depressing. And I miss the BBC Channel.<br /><br />Crabby, the thought of a blog named "Cheerful Fitness" completely cracked me up. I'm trying to envision such a thing and can only come up with snarky parodies of cheerfulness.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02257801154779844668noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1704170106558126102.post-73156692347436824802013-12-11T15:18:35.642-05:002013-12-11T15:18:35.642-05:00Our Intervention Cat works quite well, but he'...Our Intervention Cat works quite well, but he's a bit too selective. He'll happily relieve us of fish, chicken, and the occasional potato chip. Other than that, we're on our own.<br /><br />The weight loss soap is my favorite of these lunatic methods. I wonder if it's made by the same people who make First Date soap (not kidding, we have a picture). How does that work? *scrub scrub scrub* "Look, honey! Muscle tone!" LOL, I wish. These weights are damn heavy. :-P<br /><br />Regarding goals for the month, I've been doing another challenge, hence the whole forgetting to comment thing. D'oh. Mine were to burn more calories, move more often, dead lift more weight, and cook a different dinner for 28 nights in a row. I've met almost all of them so far, but had to cancel the dead lift goal due to joint issues. Still managed to drop 19 pounds since June and greatly improve my blood work, so yay! Everything's coming up bunnies. :-)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02257801154779844668noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1704170106558126102.post-85008602480746094002013-12-10T20:57:48.056-05:002013-12-10T20:57:48.056-05:00I like my plan where I only eat fattening, unhealt...I like my plan where I only eat fattening, unhealthy foods, on the second Tuesday of every other week.

I've seen so many people say "Why did I eat that much [whatever] when I knew I would feel bad [physically] afterward?" Only foods I'm allergic to do that to me, and it doesn't take a lot. And "You know you've overeaten when you can't exercise right away." Either these people are exercising WAY more vigorously than I do, or I've never overeaten in my life. And I'm talking about eating two twelve inch pizzas for supper after a long day with no time for lunch (while traveling): that was not a problem. I walked briskly back to the hotel from the restaurant. <br />So I guess I don't do anything, weird or not, in the weight loss line, except occasionally think vaguely that I should stop eating two bowls of ice cream for dessert and only eat one. I did manage to take off about thirty pounds over the course of two years by thinking vague thoughts like that. <br /><br />Mary Anne in Kentuckysolarityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03606487180967915130noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1704170106558126102.post-81577181137808220612013-12-10T13:27:19.740-05:002013-12-10T13:27:19.740-05:00The Cranky Edition could even come pre-flattened!
