[QUOTE="New Leaf, post: 677720, member: 19522"] Back from my walk, oh man the moon was just exquisite. Be sure to get a peek at it tomorrow, Full Wolf Moon....... People are[I] mean[/I]. If someone makes a comment about my weight this is my reply "Hellooooo, I have a mirror...." While it is important to maintain ideal body weight, I don't buy in to the whole BMI thingee. It just doesn't make sense to me because there are all different body types. My doctor feels the same way. BMI is unrealistic. I don't like to weigh myself when [I]I know[/I] I am too heavy. It becomes self defeating. That may seem counter weight loss, but the numbers are depressing, I am heavy boned, and tend to weigh more than the average person my height. What I do is go by how my clothes fit. So, not weight only, but fitness, getting back into moving, then eating better comes more naturally.....When I pull down some, then I will step on the scale and go from there. That works for me. Back to body weight and image. My mom, is fat PHOBIC. She is a very conscientious eater. When we went to visit in the fall, she was appalled at the amount my boy could eat, well, he is 14, in shape and an eating machine. I think mom, at 82, eats very little and forgets what it takes to maintain a 14 year old boys growth. My brother at that age ate us out of house and home. I think she forgets. Mom made the kids feel very uncomfortable about eating, which made me reflect on my own eating problems. At the same time, HUH, when we were growing up, we had to eat everything on our plates, the goal being dessert, EVERY NIGHT!!!!!! So, that is a bad habit instilled. "You can't have dessert, unless you are a member of the clean plate club!" UGH. Food as a reward, bad, bad, bad. I lost a bunch of weight three years ago, training for paddling. I ate lean cuisine and I think its called Healthy Choices. Then, I realized the difference really, was smaller portions. So now, I am using a really pretty smaller salad plate for my meals, and eating less at dinner time. Wish me luck, guys, on a mission here. Fitness, range of motion and flexibility being at the top of the list....... Have a great day! (((HUGS))) leafy [/QUOTE]
