Well I might feel a little bad---fish are pretty cute, too! But it wouldn't stop me from eating one. There are some ugly fish out there, probably. Large tuna are pretty ugly--I remember being at the Monterey Bay Aquarium and imagining myself on the back of one with a fork and knife!

Ooooh yeah! Cadbury is The Devil. Thanks so much--stay focused and don't forget to weight train--it helps make you more muscle and less fat, I swears it! And don't be too had on yourself:eek:
 
Oh I'm sure you will! But one big point: we can't spot reduce and we can't control our genetic disposition to where we carry fat. I love my body, don't get me wrong--but I've always wanted two things: skinny upper arms and a skinny lower back. BUT that is where the most stubborn chub on me is--and I'm not 100% satisfied with those areas. What make it more difficult is I feel like my pelvic area and collar-bone area, and upper back are getting too thin--almost body. What a bummer! Ah well hardly anyone is 100% satisfied with her entire body :rolleyes: Looking forward to your pictures!

It's true - most people will probably never be completely satisfied. I think I'm one of those people. I have tons of self-confidence, but there are always those problem areas. Personally, I hate that most of my tummy is pretty toned but I have this little pouch of fat around my belly button. Somebody once told me the only way it will probably ever disappear is with lipo. :( Ah well.
Don't worry... your upper arms and lower back do not look fat at all. And your collar bone, pelvic, and upper back areas do not look too thin. You look very healthy and very well-proportioned. As I said in the before and after thread, you look fabulous!
 
Thanks Sunny! I appreciate it--it's better to get different prespectives than my own, you know? Hmmmm, lipo--yeah probably a bad idea.
 
lipo is bad for two reasons:

1. if you don't take care of your health and regain, so maybe you won't gain it where you got vacuumed but you'll get like old lady arm bags and stuff. It's inevitable the weight will be gained in new and odder looking places.

2. The serious complication rate is now 1 in 346 cases in lipo.

It really can't be worth it for you really young peeps who have a sportin' chance working it off - ilbeit, the hard way but hard work usually is the more rewarding path, eh ??
 
Yeah, better to just accept genetic predispositions--also nice if you find a mate who has a thing for whatever shape you're sportin'.

Exactly! I carry most of my weight around my middle but I have to accept that I never had a defined waist and always had a poochy belly! I don't mind that but I do want to firm up what is there so I can walk on the beach in a bikini without doing the truffle shuffle! :eek: I love the Goonies :D I have embraced the fact that my shoulders and arms are never going to be slim, but they are toned and I am strong! They need more work but I'd be happy if they didn't change that much.

You are looking great and you are so right when you say that perspective is good! As sunnydee said, you don't look unproportioned at all.

Oh and Cadbury's eggs are heavenly! I can eat way too many of those!!! I might have to make my reward for hitting 130lbs, a Cadbury's cream egg! :D
Okay now I want to work out and eat right for those 2.5lbs!!!!
 
OH crap I'm coveting my neighbor's lower back...rats, I take it back! I'm not religious in the traditional sense but I agree that most of the sins are a bad idea....nothing wrong with healthy lust though!
 
Good news, though:

190 calories for TWELVE eggs (minis). That's pretty damn good! As long as you can stop there...or at 18, that's cool too; )

Yeah, not all of us can have Jennay's midsection *she said jealously*

That's not bad. Heck I could incorporate that into my healthy diet! I am a bad person for resisting things though! I'm going tough on myself this week and I'll let loose a bit more at the weekend :D

And yeah Jennay! I just checked out her diary and she looks fab!
 
I just ate my apple too :) I'm curbed for now but did have some dark chocolate last night! You've reminded me how good that stuff is, plus it's good for you (they say in moderation but what do they know!).
 
WOW I haven't had one chocolate thing today!

OH I'm a liar--I just realized I had 4 of those chocolate covered Pinot Noir cherries from Edna Valley Vineyards--I gave the rest of the bag to my co-worker. The choco-cherries aren't like real fruit with chocolate--they're lumpy, big, and red with a white-chocolate type chocolate--and the cherry is candied and sour. They're usually around, around Xmas time. I have no idea what the caloric content is--just glad I got to have some and glad I gave some away. Hmmm, but my co worker is overweight--like maybe she weighs about 240 lbs or so....well it's her choice to eat them or not--she was happy and grateful because she knows I know she likes them. She has never expressed any desire to lose weight, publicly. The only thing she said was she was upset when a little girl in the women's b-room said that she was "too fat for the toilet stall" and how she almost said something to the mother. I felt bad for her.

A little bored, might as well mention

Today is more slow than anticipated--what's up wine world? We only made 86 Grand today!! Well that's actually not bad.

SO I will babble about this for the hell of it. I ramble on and on in here about what I think about my body and blah blah blah, but in real life I don't mention it to anyone, really. In real life I like to pretend that I'm super confident and not at all hung up or even very concerned with my body. Everybody has a dark side, huh? Well it's either this or porn, and since most internet porn doesn't cater to heterosexual women very well IMO, this forum is my guilty pleasure ;) Either way, I suppose a part of me in real life is trying to set a good example of the ideal: a healthy person, fit, and active, who loves her body and doesn't obesess about perfection. That's probably about 90% true right now, despite all the blah blah blah about it in my diary. It's a great release, anyway!

So last night I came home from SLO at about 8:30pm. I live with my BF, and two male 25-year-old housemates, although one of them is never there. The other--we'll call him B.--is always home because he doesn't work--he's an artist, ceramics, and goes to school for business and ceramics. Anyway, he is very nice, polite, easy-going, somewhat quiet, peaceful, single, and an alcoholic. Hey--we all have our things. Like me he had an interesting childhood--his dad's drug of choice was heroin whilst my dad's was methamphetamine. Anyway, he is a naturally stout man, probably about 180-200 lbs and about 5'10". He's very respectful of me and we all (BF, me, him) get along wonderfully and do things together like play Bocce or go shooting.

Anyway, he was exhausted from a day of drinking and playing Disc Golf at the park for 8 hours. My BF offered to pick him up a burger and get toilet paper for our bathroom (I'd asked him to and he forgot over the weekend). When the BF left, we were chatting and he mentioned my shorts being short. I argrued that they were not particularly. I said my ass was not at all hanging out. He said, well I could wear shorts like that if I wanted to. I stood up and stomped my foot:

"Hey, I just have to ask you, have you at all noticed that I've lost almost twenty pounds?!"
He looked at me, hesitated, and then said, "Well I didn't say anything because I didn't want to inflate your ego." I said that was fair enough. He went on, "But yes you have recently transformed your body, although it was fine before, but now you're a sexy bitch."
I thanked him, a bit embarassed, but I respect B so I broke down and said, "OK I'm planning on losing another 9 lbs. What do you think about that?" He started to talk about ceramics and art and aesthetics, basically beating around the bush--in a nutshell he was saying that curves are more pleasing to the eye than straight lines. I told him that my body will always curve, that's how it is--he said I should probably stick to maintaining it's shape now. I thanked him and told him to please not mention to my BF my plans. He said OK.
I'm just writing this because I'm bored--and wanted people to know that in my house, my weight loss hadn't been even uttered and I finally had to vocally point it out. I think I'll ask my BF f he's noticed, soon.

Man oh man I wish I was fishing with Steve. And drinking beer!!! What a good time.
 
umm wait a second....you haven't talked to your Bf about this? And he hasn't told you that you look amazing? Hold on, so you're saying that your bf doesn't know all of the hard work you have been doing?

Honey, that man needs a good excuse for not telling you that you look amazing. And why haven't you talked to him about this? I would be bragging to my bf non-stop. And he would be cheering me on!

Not so fast--he did say one thing, after I lost about 8 lbs--"whatever exercise you're doing, keep doing because you look amazing--I'm smitten" were his exact words, and since then he calls me beautiful and sexy everyday. Don't worry--but because I was merely in the high end of a healthy weight (not quite BMI of 25) and wanted to get to the mid-lower (21-20) I didn't want to emphasize it. He has always told me he loves me how I am--and at 155 lbs he insisted he didn't care either way if I was 10 lbs more or less than that. So I decided not to tell him--just to see when he'd start to notice.
