Dieting is...Hello and thanks for visiting my blog. Dieting is yuck! My suggestion and something that worked for me is "stop eating white food"! Pasta, rice, chips, potatoes, etc. At my age my metabolism doesn't work anymore and can't process all these carbs and they seem to go to fat instantly (like in 2 seconds) ha ha ha. Once I gave them up the pounds just fell off. Maybe you will try it! When I looked at the photos of me at my daughters wedding at 143 pounds I couldn't believe how fat and bloated I looked.......I now weigh 115! I swear it worked for me. Good Luck.......BrookeZion Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11306621634684429685noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-703409033829423952.post-988536772561957622011-04-06T22:12:33.573-04:002011-04-06T22:12:33.573-04:00Yes, you are definitely a writer!

Dieting is not fun, but sometimes it's easy and most times it's really hard. I lost 9 pounds recently by counting calories, and now I'm trying to find the way to equilibrium, i.e., not losing and not gaining. WAY harder.DJanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07152183871573797791noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-703409033829423952.post-15631288729516147942011-04-06T19:02:21.589-04:002011-04-06T19:02:21.589-04:00Your comment today about my daughter who can't...Your comment today about my daughter who can't walk: Jen said, what a lovely lady.

The only diet that seems to work for me is the one I'm on now, and the only reason I'm sticking to it is because I'm trying to avoid pain. <br /><br />I could so relate to the stale sugar wafer tucked away - those of us who adore sugar have an uncanny sense about where to find it.Deb Shuckahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03439395710731341021noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-703409033829423952.post-40195298943360964752011-03-31T09:29:59.667-04:002011-03-31T09:29:59.667-04:00I didn't lose a single pound before DD1's ...I didn't lose a single pound before DD1's wedding.

Oliver means Peace - I assume it is some kind of derivative of Olive (as in the tree) because the Olive tree has been used as a measure of peace throughout history ie to extend the olive tree branch. <br />Have a lovely day.Pollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17237061502041133837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-703409033829423952.post-46720556290729858482011-03-30T15:02:31.202-04:002011-03-30T15:02:31.202-04:00LOL Sam.

It's not because I watch what I eat. I've hopefully learned to eat a bit healthier through the years but I have a real love for sweets, esp chocolate. Yes, Janet, Hershey's Kisses. They're the best. And so small it's okay to eat several. Finally at this point in my life weight is in my thoughts the least.<br />Blessings. Thanks for reading.B.
