I'm amazed. I feel really fat, flabby. But I'm not. I'm weighing alot and wearing a loose 14... but I'm smaller than I feel or thought I was!

I went through boxed up clothing and pulled out a sweet little dress that I lamented over wanting to wear it for a dinner coming up.. in April or May? And thought, ah, try it on anyway. It fits! It's an 11-12. So I tried on some shorts that are 10s... yep they fit.

I wish I could "just" do crunches or such to tone up ... but I can't... now I'm not sure how to look better. I wonder how if I don't do this now, I will look as I get older.. and more skin you know? Time to tone it now.

I'm eating oatmeal with walnuts or oatmeal to go squares for breakfast. And a piece of fruit each day. That's an improvement.

I heard again... what I read a few weeks ago... about high bad cholesterol not being the big problem for women, but LOW GOOD CHOLESTEROL is what causes heart trouble. I'm eating the walnuts to increase my HDL, as it's only 9 and should be at least 40. (My LDL is low, but that's ok.)
