Have you ever seen a beautiful thin woman in a restaraunt eating like a horse? Polishing off her food,a proud member of the clean plate club, and then ordering the warm, mouth watering tower of chocolate lava cake with a big glass of of icy cold, whole milk? Of course, you have. If not you've seen the little thin teen waifs in the blossom of their youth pigging out like there's no tomorrow.

I don't begrudge them. Really, I don't. I have never been that way. Ever. I am the first born child of a Hawaiian Dad and a Japanese Mom. They live to feed people. If you don't eat their food, you are insulting. Being young inexperienced parents they did what most first time parents do when their baby is fussy...stick a bottle in the mouth. I weighed like 30 pounds when I was 1. I looked like a baby sumo. I had baby fat until I was 31.

Needless to say, I've battled with weight issues all my life. I've tried just about every diet their is in the universe...low carb, no carb, South Beach, Pritikin, Atkinson, Slim Fast, Weight Watchers, Volumetrics, Paleo, Jenny Craig, Nutrisystems, Cookie Diet, Juicing...you name it...I've probably done it.

None of the above really matters because the bottom line is simply this, "Eat less, move more." So, I'm following my daughter's blog, Getmefit2, and at 53 am back at it again. Yup! And this time with a commitment to train for the Tour de Tucson Century Ride! I'm not going for the pencil thin look. I just want to look and feel healthy.

This will get interesting, so follow the scribblings of a starving scribe...just kidding. I'll be eating, just less.
