Ugh, went to a swimming party with women all my age. Ugh, I bought my swim suit when I was just recovering from anorexia. It still fits but I sure don't look good in it.

A friend from college & his wife are doing weightwatchers & stated how much they lost (we keep in touch through Facebook now that I moved 2100 miles away)....I calculated that if I lost that much I would be back to being categorized as anorexic. It doesn't mean I couldn't afford to loose less than that though. I find that if I just cut out all junk food, the weight comes off easy being as active as I am. 2 hours of ballroom dancing a week is good & work outside on my farm even on my lawn tractor adds to my activity. I trail ride one or 2 times a week. Will see if my knee can tolerate the mini trampoline I just bought....mostly to control blood pressure naturally.

Have to admit, I've been lazy about cooking this week. I went out to lunch on Monday for my friends birthday & had a healthy salmon meal that was delicious. Then had the pot luck pool party after a morning of trail riding. That pot luck lunch was my meal for the day with a few bites of my left over pea salad later in the evening.

My friend is keeping me supplied with fresh over ripe cantaloupe (soft enough I can eat it). I cut it into bite size pieces & eat it with cottage cheese or vanilla ice cream

I am so picky about using natural foods without preservatives. Real butter, cream, which inspite of those calories, they are healthier for the metabolism so just cutting out my favorite BBQ potato chips, I can usually loose most of what I gain & since gaining some, my blood pressure has been inching up where it was always low when my weight was low & I refuse to take meds for it because of the bad side effects I always seem to get with any meds I take.....trying to control growing older more naturally than MD's would like us to.
