I Wish I were that Fat Now!

I came across a fat picture of me taken on vacation in Florida, before we bought our condo, several years ago. At least I thought I was fat then. Having looked at it now, I wish I were that fat again! I could stand to lose a good 10 pounds, but would be happy with 5. And you?

Yeah, you were really overweight there weren't you? I could probably do with losing 7 pounds but I've been saying that for over 10 years now!!! If I really put my mind to it I could do it in a couple of months but I'm not too sure I'm prepared to deprive myself in order to achieve it.

@DianneN Food has always been my downfall. I used to think I could exercise away the excess but that only works to a certain extent and definitely gets harder as you get older. Cutting back is essential.

I know I eat way too much. I will cut back drastically and step up the walking. Ugh!

I've lost around 8 kgs since about Christmas so am pretty happy with that. I am hoping I'll lose a bit more over the next few months.

That's wonderful, Judy. I decided to begin a diet on Monday. I already walk.

@JudyEv it isn't as bad as really exercising and helps tone up the bod!

@DianneN Walking (or any exercise) seems to be my sticking point. :)

I had been skinny for most of my life and the only time I was happy with my weight was when my son was three years old. I tried to maintain my weight but I failed a bit coz i became 49kg again. But now i'm slowly gaining back my weight and i'm now at 54kg. My ideal weight is 55kg. I stand 5'4".

@DianneN that's a very common concept for us all but I think real health is when we eat the right kind of food and have the right kind of nutrition.

You look so nice and healthy looking in your photo. My father always struggled to gain weight, but I think it's healthier to be thin than overweight.

I think you look quite lovely and like you don't need to lose a pound but then most of us are a little hard on ourselves.

You look good. As we get older, it is harder to keep the fat away. I could lose 15 pounds but it probably won't happen. Maybe, if I start walking again but it is so much work.

@miniam I was walking with a friend. She had to go home to another state because of a family emergency. Don't know if she will ever come back. It is boring walking by myself.

I think you look far from fat silly girl. :) I could lose some pounds. Increments of 10 would make me happy. But then sometimes I look in the mirror and think I like the way I look! I think sometimes we are hard on ourselves when really, we're all beautiful. :)

Wise words. I can tell by my clothes that it's time to cut back and step up the exercise. I would croak if I was out and split a seam. Lol! They say every five pounds is a dress size. I could open a store in my closet!

I need to take in less calories than my body burns. I gave up all fast food years ago, except for Five Guys every once in a while. Oh, to have a faster metabolism!!!!
