I am a great bush beater

I am a great bush beater

umm, that is something I didn't need to know

I need to start doing some more of certain things on that list

[Marilyn. 340]

Here are some new diet rules you can actually live by! Start losing all the weight you ever dreamed of losing!

1) If you drink a diet soda with a candy bar, the calories in the candy bar are canceled out by the diet soda.

2) If you fatten everyone else around you, then you look thinner.... So encourage others to eat more... and more often...

3) Broken Cookie pieces contain no fat - the process of breaking the cookie causes the fat to breakdown before it is actually eaten.

4) Great "Meal Replacement" with little or no fat content, low in calories, lots of fiber, protein, and other nutritional ingredients.

5) Foods that are frozen have no calories because calories are units of heat. Examples are Ice Cream, Frozen pies and popsicles.

6) Foods that have the same color have the same number of calories, e.g. spinach and pistachio ice cream; mush- rooms and white chocolate.

Note: Chocolate is a universal color and maybe substituted for any other food color without increasing caloric content.

7)In food used for medicinal purposes the calories NEVER count, such as hot chocolate, brandy, toast, and Sara Lee Cheesecake.

8) Movie related foods (Milk Duds, buttered popcorn, Junior Mints, Red Hots, Tootsie Rolls, etc.) do not have additional calories because they are not part of one's personal fuel... merely entertainment.

9) Things licked off knives and spoons have no calories if you are in the process of preparing something. Examples are peanut butter on a knife when making a sandwich, ice cream on a spoon when making a sundae.

10)When you eat with someone else, calories don't count if you don't eat more than they do. (see above, encouraging others)

If those were true I'd weight 95 pounds

[ChristinaM 0]

As much as 95?! I'd be like a beanpole!!

I am a great bush beater

more like a toothpick!

haha

[Marilyn. 340]

at 95 pounds you wouldn't be able to see me

I just want to be around 150/160 lbs but according to some men out there, that is considered overweight.... anything over 140 lbs according to them is overwieght but for my height that is the perfect size, I think... I have been skinnier but I really looked awful, I think... my face was too skinny etc.... besides hubby likes a few curves

Bless my hubby he always tells me I am not overwieght

I was just reading that Marilyn Monroe wore a size 14, imagine that.. she would be considered overwieght by today's standards

yes but sizes were different then.

I don't care how much I weight - i just want to be a size 10-12

[Marilyn. 340]

maybe but she still was bigger then most of the women today that men find sexy....

I think a women looks better with a few curves... aren't men afraid they are going to snap those skinny women in two when they hug them ??

[CarolineM 0]

i'm all for the curvey woman thing - i'm curvey and my husband loves every curve

[ChristinaM 0]

I am ALL OVER that curvy thing!!!

My hubby has just refused to get involved, so maybe he's into the "toothpick" girls.... Time to panic?!

Bless him, I know he loves me really!
