It IS harder to lose the older you get. Metabolism and all. I should lose about 10. But the next copd attack will take care of that.

Few weeks ago I had to go find a belt. Damn pants kept wanting to fall off my ass.
Wanna lose weight, get to the point food disgust ya and trust me, you will lose. I been having that problem since probably early June. Yesterday afternoon I was getting hungry and digging thru the cabinet for something to cook. Cheesy melt hamburger helper looked good and I have fresh ground chuck in the fridge so I got the box and put it on the kitchen counter. Couple hours later around 6 pm I went in the kitchen to start dinner, took one look at that box of hamburger helper and the thought of it disgusted me. Put it back in the pantry and Rascal and me ended up sharing a couple of those silver dollar size sausage biscuits and around midnight I had an apple. Thankfully fruit dont bother me. Leave it to me to drop around 45 lbs in a couple months without ever trying to go on a diet or even think of dieting. I never could do things the way others did
Being forced to eat when it grosses you out is some circle of hell or another. I should just be happy that my weird digestive issues force me to be careful what I eat, and already know better than to keep much baked type food in the house, other than double-fiber bread... and those delicious Chips Ahoys. There are some Poptarts and blueberry breakfast bars too, and sometimes I indulge in those; I figure if I'm gonna splurge on calories, I should get some kind of nutrition with the sugar and fat.
That was the problem I had when I had the flu, just zero appetite; 2 bites and I felt a bit sick at the thought of a 3rd... and I fucking hated it, because the mate and the spawn kept FORCING ME to eat "just one more bite!" like I was a fucking 2 yr old or something.
But chocolate chip cookies are just too damn easy to hunt and capture.

Yet I never really liked them myself. Occasionally some iced oatmeal cookies I like and oreo's at times but usually I seldom by any of that for me.
I always have tons of chewy chips ahoys here. Thats Rascal good boy treat
One easter told him repeatedly to not eat that whole big solid chocolate bunny. He ate half of it and went down the road to play with his friends. Hour os so later I seen him running up the driveway crying. Looked and the back of both legs was shit brown. Chocolate is poison to both animals and people if eating too much of it. But moderate amounts is fine.
I use to believe the same thing until I seen one of our dogs years ago get into a 3lb box of chocalates and ate half of it while we was out. She had a massive case of the squirts but was just fine. Seen that happen to my nephew too.
Never ever ever give a dog grapes or raisins. That will kill them.
Cats with brainfreeze get the most hilarious expression on their widdle faces.
There are several things that are quite toxic to cats -- onions particularly, and garlic slightly, and they can't taste sweet (though they CAN smell it!), so giving them anything sweet is a really bad idea, because they CAN become diabetic.
I saw my parents give our longhaired dachshund every kind of food that they ate... and she developed liver cancer at the age of 10 and had to be euthanized to save her pain... so I'm pretty strict on what I permit my husband to give our cat; we discovered when she was 2 1/2 that like many cats, she does not possess the genetic mutation that permits digestion of milk and milk products past infancy/childhood, but he does give her just a taste of ice cream sometimes -- she likes the creaminess I think, though only a lick or two, it's so cold.

I lost her this winter after 24 great years with her. She spent most of her life eating people food and living in a smokers house. Didnt hurt her longevity at all.
My girl tigger was well fed with people food. She always ate can food. Had a bowl of dry that she seldomed touched and when we ate, she believed it was her right to have some or turn her nose up at it. More than a couple times I would be sitting at the bar stool at the kitchen counter eating and feel a paw with claws grabbing my arm with the fork. She would be on the couch behind me highly perturbed that I haven't handed my plate to her yet.

That explains my love for sweets!!!! I'm telling my coworkers. They always tease me cause I can eat 4 chocolate covered doughnuts faster than they can eat one. And, I had 15 pieces of fudge one day.

ROTF!!!*best Brooklyn Jewish accent" "Oh, you have an ass? Lucky you."
I seriously have what I call a no ass, ass. There's no hump back there to my butt. It's just this flat area with a hole. Weight I gain seems just fine lugging itself up front instead and make look preggers. Figure if I cut out half my intestines I'd be better off. But then you got all that mess I'd need to mop up, and if the wife saw it well, more mess.
Actually, I have a fair idy of what I need to do in order to get my weight off. "Drop, and cycle!" I need more PT for sure. I need the discipline to PT though and me and discipline any more don't fare well together. Something about being a peaceful anarchist does that. *grin*
I chuckle at advertising surveys. I don't fit into any bracket for them, wind up with "Sorry, we got no survey for you." Proof that have a no ass, ass keeps you out of trouble. Ha!

OMG you are cracking me up this morning. leap through doughnut holes higher than a hurdleYep, you like me are an addict. I used to be able to scarf down Reese cups faster than a speeding bullet, leap through doughnut holes higher than a hurdle, stop cakes with a hearty gulp. I was Silly Man but don't tell my alter ego of Derk Knit, his glasses would steam up and fog over.
I have a big ass.
I decided to purchase one instead of adopting this time. Because it will probably be the last dog I ever get. 
Run 'er slow everybody, need to go piddle. Got myself worked out of housework, yet again. Even boraxed our carpeted floors to kill fleas for Shrek who seems allergic to even a bite.
I like scary stuff.
Naah that response will get you into trouble as well.
Meh. I don't mind people saying it like it is. When I was young I guess I cared more about my appearance. Now that I'm older, I just wanna be healthy.
When women ask that question they want you to lie thru your teeth while smilingWhen I was a younger man and actually kinda cared, I would run from that question and lie thru my teeth when cornered.
Today, screw it. If you dont want my opinion then dont ask it.

I can't tolerate it when there's just too much of me, it's not comfortable at all, and I really don't get how people can stand it when they get more than 50 lbs overweight. Just 25 extra lbs put much too big a strain on my hips, knees, and feet.
-- I'll sweep around my own damn back porch (drinking, drugs, smoking, sugar, fats), and cordially invite them to do the same, or go fuck themselves, or whatever else they like, as long as they LEAVE ME THE FUCK ALONE.
SAY IT SISTA!!One thing our country, which is supposed to be the land of the free, seems to have forgotten in most respects, is that people ARE free to go to hell in whatever way they choose -- drugs, drink, sex, sugar, whatever floats their boat. Our country, founded originally by conquistadores of the Inquisition on the west coat, and puritans on the east, seems dead set on negating that freedom in any way they can get away with, and the idiots in this country let them get away with it. Now we have morons in the liberal hotbed of NYC telling people how big a soft drink they're allowed to have; liberals on both coasts telling people that it's fine to smoke because it enriches the pockets of the 1% but god forbid they should save their own lives by vaping instead.
And now you want to add sugar to all the verboten substances? Shame on you. If people have so little self-control that they eat themselves to death, it's not the country's job to stop them -- they figured out that it wasn't their job to stop them drinking themselves to death, but they seem intent on playing out the identical scenario with smoking, vaping, sugar, or whatever else the head motherfucker puritans in charge decide is bad this week. To all those puritans, I offer a rousing two-fisted
And I will continue to use plastic straws, too, as well as plastic grocery bags -- which I recycle.

Wow that's crazy! I dreamed about pancakes last night. I don't think I've ever dreamed about them before.
Not sure if I was craving the smoking or the warmth outdoors. And that someone who worked there was sexually harassing me, and someone else was coercing me into spying on someone else there. 
OMG. Twilight Zone? I had to wear a jacket on Thursday it was so cold in my building. I had to sneak out to get a vape breakI had the WEIRDEST dream last night, er, this morning... That I worked someplace so air-conditioned that I had to wear long sleeves in the summer (not really a stretch to imagine), and craved going outside for a smoke-break.
Truly weird.
Andria
And most homes are much too heated in the winter -- the colder it is outside, the lower the furnace should be set, or it dries out your nasal mucosa too much and sets you up for viral apocalypse. As for grocery stores... I ALWAYS take a jacket. It's goddamned freezing in those, no matter the season.
Nope do not want to get sexual predator status!Thats one way to keep the kids off the lawn
Or wind up with a vast followingExactly my feelings... one can always put on more, but there's only so many one can take off and not be arrested.
