My weight fluctuates and have been up and down 15 or so pounds and I definitely have much more confidence and feel happier in general when I'm thinner and at my ideal weight.

Happier when thinner
Because it is easier to buy nice clothes that fit well.
Much happier without than with. (nm)
Mine look better when thinner, that's for sure.
The best way to slim down is actually by jumping rope because you avoid building your thigh muscles. You are mostly using your heart, lungs, feet and lower half of your calves and some tiny shoulder and wrist muscles. That's why it slims you instead of building muscles where most girls don't want to gain inches.
Not sure how long any of the self-tanner lotions or sprays will work if you are going to be in water a lot.
Once I hit my mid-40s, it got noticably thinner. Keep it
s
its different for everyone. i've been thinner,
and heavier and I still know I look good, and I feel good. BUT, doesnt mean plump people dont watch what they eat...the weight just comes on too fast if you let it all go, which could be scary...the bigger ya get the harder things get like, walking, exercise..things like that. I have never really had the choice. I just YAM WAT I YAM...
I have been a much happier worker since...
....moving the bird feeders to in front of my office window! I just love watching them all and seeing what else comes out of the woods for some seed and suet. Lots of red squirrels and chippy's, the occasional cute grey mouse, and I guess even deer, but I never see THEM, just the tracks and the "raisinettes" around the feeder. Our neighbor gets tons of wild turkeys at her place, as well as racoons, flying squirrels, and skunks! She goes through about 50 pounds of black oil sunflower seeds as well as 25 pounds of dog chow (for the skunks, racoons, and larger critters) a week! Can you imagine?!
My other neighbor has a wild Merlin falcon (a girl named Helln Fury), who he caught and trained himself. Very cool bird. Can't say I've ever seen one 'round here but I guess they do exist, you just have to know what you're lookin' at when they are up in the air.
Love the wild critters and glad so many others on here appreciate them too!
Nothing made me happier when a neighbor...
was driving by and saw me outside when we first moved here. She pulled in the driveway, got out of her car, went back in her car and pulled out a bag of carrots, walked over to me, and introduced herself as my new neighbor. She of course brought the carrots for the critters and it was the nicest gesture. She said she had them in her car for almost a week but she had no idea what our schedules were (I worked 3rd, husband worked first) and didn't want to bother us.
I'd leave maybe a little box of Milk Bones or some other fairly benign dog treat and a "welcome to the neighborhood" card with your name and maybe even phone number in case of any emergencies and let them know how much you like their little pooch. Ambassador of good will kind of thing. I can't imagine the bread did any harm but it's always best to check first. Personally I wouldn't mention it though, just in case of some bizzaro coincidence with the dog's health status.
Hope all goes well with your new nay-ba's!
Skinny versus Plump - who is happier?
Well I reckon this will start some fires...Hope I don't get burned.
In your experience, ladies and gentlemen, who is happier? Skinny people who are afraid of a calorie/carb/fat gram? Or plump, curvy individuals?
Having been skinny once upon a time and now having more curves than a country mountain road, I have to say I like myself so much better now that I weigh more. It has been an experience, I tell you that much.
So what do you all think?
HC.
Need opinion on blood thinner experience sm
Have someone in hospital on the drip, but will come home in a few days with the pill form. She says "no dietary restrictions" and I am worried. You know how this profession is with the so-called "little knowledge" which is damaging. I've worked for many hospitals and have heard a lot in my day, but I am just an "in-law" and not considered "family" by her. I want to be helpful but nor buttinski, so I just say to be sure to speak to the doctor and perhaps a nutritionist before she leaves for home. Am I worrying needlessly? Just need another's opinion with this problem. For now, I am just shutting up. I really do care. She is lucky to be alive IMHO, don't want her to suffer anymore than she already has, legs to lungs, filter required. I know the warfarin is a very slippery slope and heard things like garlic and vitamin K cause problems. I know blood checks are a must. Perhaps I should just shut up and listen and mind my own business.
I'd totally trade the wrinkles in favor of being thinner.
I'm an adipose tissue roller coaster...I start to pack on the pounds come fall and then start to drop it all come spring. It is so hard to stay active during winter...even everyday chores in winter aren't enough to keep my body type trim, and then there's all that glorious comfort food that shows up around those shorter, colder days that are of absolutely no help either.
Almost time to get that BBQ grill cleaned off and prepped for grillin healthy things like veggies and fish. Now, if I could only hide the blender on myself so those pesky Margaritas stay away....
MMMmmmmm....summer!
I completely agree with you. Cats much happier inside. Hard
