LITHE OR LARDY

A SLIMMER’S DILEMNA…. want to eat but want to stay lithe!

Having my hair done, you know what it’s like..trapped in the chair, the questions start like are you going somewhere nice for your holidays this year, this Christmas, this summer, yardayarda… and then it’s on to the weight concerns!

I have a wonderful hairdresser and she like me is sort of rounded, not obese but maybe could lose a pound or ten, ok maybe a stone or two! or possibly three, there I have said it out loud…

We were chatting about the various diets we have both tried over the years and came to the conclusion that the best way to stay slim and I quote her ”don’t put stuff  in your mouth!” we both have realized that with every pound lost, on which ever of the MANY ways to lose weight, when you try to eat a ‘normal’ diet you put two pounds back on and then the older you get the more  it starts to look like lard and it’s much harder to lose anything at all.

Lardy or Lithe ….it’s hard to get shot of the lardy leg look, not so much cellulite more egg box in texture, by the time I looked like a blond goddess I could feel her pain and she felt mine! we had a good giggle, mainly to cheer ourselves, over the fact that we were indeed ‘lardies’ now.

As I left I saw a stunning tall slim trim young lady, possibly about 24/25yrs old… would it be too cruel to tell her one day she would probably have my shape !

    I agree with you that diets really, really don’t work – unless you enjoy eating like a buddhist monk and want to do so for the rest of your life!
    As my wise mother regularly points out, if you want to stay slim (and she is slim yet eats well), you have to burn off calories equal to the amount you eat. Very simple. Eat well, move more!
    But easier said than done, and harder to keep off the flab when older, for me it was turning 40 and having a last minute baby when the challenge started… cycling and pilates help, but best of all is running around like a blue-arsed fly after my family!!
