Not happy about the way I look or how I feel, I have gone on Weight Watchers and am now down 16 pounds. But to do that I have had to stop eating out. I weigh my food and make sure I eat a lot of veggies low in calories. It's an on-going battle. I can't avoid all unhealthy foods. If I did, I'd be anti-social. So...I have to be cognizant of what I eat and stay true to where I want to be weight-wise. It's not easy!
As for the slim and trim...I tell myself they are born that way. I have to believe that or I'd go crazy!

I agree. Most activities have food stuck in there someplace. When I first moved here I gained 25 lbs. I went on low carb and lost it. Now I'm back where I was when we moved here but still need to loose more. Eating out definitely contributes to weight gain, but it is a social thing which I love participating in after golfing.
I am still in better condition that I've been in years living here. The stress from not having a job does me good for sure.
