jamesqI've been saying for years that I've been aging backwards. Here's the proof. The first picture (in black and white) is me from ten years ago, when I first started at my current company. The second (in colour) is the updated picture we took last year. Damn, I'm looking good. Of course that was at about my all-time lowest weight.
Speaking about weight, I went to weight watchers (one of the few who did, there was hardly anyone there tonight. Chickens) and discovered that Christmas really nailed me. I'm quite a bit up again.
Rather then bitch and moan like I usually do, I'm simply going to redouble my efforts. You can all give me a hand too. I'm looking for suggestions of short term rewards I can give myself for when I hit 50, 55, 60, 65 and 70 down (my goal weight-loss).
My biggest "sin" in the weight gain department is finger food at parties and gaming and such. I find I simply cannot resist it. One or two cookies soon grow to ten or twenty and I balloon out again. If I'm in that sort of situation, feel free to remind me to STOP and THINK about what I'm doing. If I get pissy, remind me that I asked for this.
Looking at the "recent" picture I realize I have to get my hair cut.

Date: 2007-12-28 02:34 pm (UTC)Also peas make a great snack. I snacked on them once for a whole week and discovered the joys of fiber. After that I realized I had to go easy on the snacking. Also fruit trays work well, especially strawberries and grapes, but they are cheaper to cut up yourself than buy said fruit tray.

Why not ...

Good Luck!
