Me too!
So.

Allow me to submit Wee Zard's 5 point plan.

1. Borrow brightly colored hula hoop.
2. Put shoes on.
3. Go outside. (bring dogs)
4. Place hoop, and begin to run. (Try to hula while running.)
5. Any self respecting dog will then promptly drag your embarassing ass back inside where you both can pig out on tasteless, 1 calorie puffed rice cakes and puppy love.

Cereally! Give yerself a break.
Every body has a blueprint in it's genes.
There's a size and shape that is "normal" for each particular body.
Constantly fighting one's genetic building plan can't be good for you, physically, or emotionally.

Chowing down on real food.
Home-grown, whole grains, fruits and vegetables, and getting a resonable amount of exercise will let your body, do it's thing.
Whatever that may be.
Then, it's about acceptance, ya?

Walking and swimming are prolly the most balanced and productive exercise for staying healthy.
And if you just don't feel like it, some times, then don't.
I'm willin' to bet that Mr. Hound, and your critters, love you "warts and all."

Geeze Weedy! You seem to bring out the "Dutch Uncle" in me.

Never mind.

Aloha,
Weeze
