Cause and Effect

Camille here again with one of my Me and my MOMents teehee

“Look, excess baggage.” My mom complained as she stood in front of the mirror holding onto her saddlebags which were noticeable in the tight shirt (mine) she was wearing. Her tummy wasn’t that big before. It’s because she kept going to her old high school classmates’ get-togethers and eating too much, I said.
“Hmph. I’ll just use the slimming wrap your aunt gave me,” she huffed.
A final brush of her hair and some last-minute instructions, she left for another one of those reunion thingies. I asked her to bring home doughnuts.

It’s in the Jeans

Camille here again! woot woot!

I need a new pair of jeans. Most of my old ones barely fit me anymore. And jeans shopping is absolute torture for me. I can’t seem to find ones that fit my body type (small waist, broad hips). I absolutely don’t like skinny jeans, which unfortunately are the ones most stores seem to offer. “It’s because your hips are too big. You should try to lose weight,” my mom once commented. I refused to give up food for dieting, and even with the option of having the safest diet pills that work, I still won’t do it. I don’t look good skinny.

Maybe I should try looking at skirts now..

Weight Lost and found

… somewhere else in your body, is that possible? Methinks that this is true. Case in point, hubby. Since he started becoming more “health” conscious (not “weight” obsessed LOL) he started swimming as regularly as possible. But one of the things that I noticed is that although his waistline was noticeably getting smaller ( hello, ‘ga ) his chest area was expanding and his weight was still not decreasing. So while he was losing fat in certain places it was being replaced by muscles in other areas. I’m not a nutritionist or a health professional and I can’t say if my observations are absolutely valid but if you are somehow wondering why you seem to be gaining weight even if you are on a regular exercise program, it’s probably because you are gaining muscle – which is actually good. Even the best diet pills, no matter how much you take them cannot produce a single muscle in your body except through regular exercise. So don’t despair if you step on the scales and throw it out the window because you think it’s lying to you about your weight. You might have gained some muscles after all.

Now streeeetch!
