That as well plus looking at the photo I posted on me at the Chinese Restaurant the other night my arms looked huge, contrast the one of me 6 years ago and I am a blob.

whoa... now that is one sexy pix you haven't showed us before!

Yes, it is so easy to pile on the extra pounds. I am 40 lower now than last year at this time. I too became disgusted & decided to get busy. The weight loss class I taught helped. NOT a good idea for the teacher to NOT be a positive example.

I don't really feel I eat less but I am so very physically active. If I ever have a med condition that slows me down I will have problems w/o modifying food/drinks that go in.

Because I am a vegetarian I do eat a lot of "other things" LOVE pasta dishes & cheese. But also have a lot of veggies/salad. I don't use ANY low fat anything. NOR do I do substitute sugar. I just dont think those products are healthy in the long run.

I am selective in my treats/sweets.

You look fine snugs! no worries :)

snugs, you are no blob. With a similar haircut, and probably a week or so of stress free living, you would look exactly the same as the earlier picture. You have been doing such noble and wonderful things for your Dad. Remember, you're dedicating a large portion of your life to his well-being. I think you are doing the right thing and have your priorities in the right place...and again...you are no blob.
