Oh how can I count the ways. There are days when I look in the mirror and go “Ugh!”…and then there are days when I can’t help but say, “Hey hot stuff!” I’m always in a constant battle to lose weight. Always! And I’ve done it. I’ve lost anywhere from 5 pounds to 35 pounds depending on how motivated I was at the time. I’ve done my own thing…I’ve joined Weight Watchers. My weight loss has always depended on how tired I got of not wanting to eat what I wanted to eat and when I reached that point…I stopped dieting…I stopped exercising. So, I do realize it’s something I have complete control of. However, what I have come to realize is that, I can’t rush it. I can’t make a goal of losing..say…15 pounds in 2 months because I always drive myself crazy trying to do it. I’m at the point now that I know how to eat in moderation..what I want to eat…and I exercise at least 5 days a week. And I’m losing. It’s not major…but it’s coming off. I’ve resigned myself to the fact that as long as I’m losing something…1/2 pound or 3 pounds a week….then so be it. As long as I can get up on that scale and see a smidgen gone…then I’m happy.
Ok…now…to what I like and don’t like. Hmmm..let’s start with the Don’t Like! My knees. My shape is EXACTLY like my grandmothers…from head to toe. Small waist. Huge hips. Knobby knees. Too much extra skin flapping over. Drives me nuts. If….and that’s a big IF..I ever decide to have some plastic surgery..it’ll be to remove that extra skin off my knees. Weird…I know…but it’s the truth.
Likes! Breasts. Butt. The hubby loves them. 
So those are a keeper. I have nice feet too. I keep my toes painted and get pedicures year round. And I have nice skin. I’m a lotion fanatic. I hate dry skin. So, I lotion every inch of my body after a bath and I keep a small bottle of it in my purse at all times for my hands.

I know what you mean about the weight loss. Between moving and my husband being a chef and then injuring myself-oh and my husband being a chef LOL-Here I am with less then 3 weeks to conference trip and thinking-Maybe I could lose 70 pounds before I go.
Maybe I can find a super duper proto-type girdle instead…hmmm
