Well one thing I've got going for me is that I already look kinda like Kate Moss, well at least on top. I do admit she does have better looking nipples than I do. But if she'd grow some nice gray hair we could be sisters. Well I do also admit her ass is way better than mine so maybe half sisters.

I gauge my age reality on Men's magazines.
When I started looking at them the centerfold was way older than me. The fantasy - I grow up and I'd have girl friend just like her.
When I was about the same age. The fantasy - I find one just like her and she'd want to fuck my brains out night after night.
When I was slightly older. The fantasy - Sure would be nice to be tappin that once in a while.
Now the reality - I have a daughter older than she is and if she found me naked in her bed with a hard on she'd call the police instead of joining me.

I can't respond from a womans viewpoint thank goodness. Luckily men are less under the social and media magnifying glass than you girls.

But from my own experiences.
Healthy eating. Why is it so hard? I think it goes hand in hand with why is it so hard to be positive. I'm not the expert you are but have read quite a bit. I do feel a lot of the medical field are out of whack in their advice and solutions. They are giving medical advice, sometimes outdated, instead of what I would call life advice & help. They just look for something to cut out or give you a pill for, not to change your life.
I'll give you an example. I had some heart problems a few years ago. Found after many thousands of dollars it was a slight electrical problem. The heart Doc says, no medicine needed, lose some weight, get some exercise, you have any questions, any problems give me a call, bye.
Well, the problem I still struggle with is that lose some weight and get some exercise concept. The problem is that we belong to a HMO. I thought they were supposed to want to keep me healthy. How come that doctor didn't say - I have set up appointments with a dietitian and an physical therapist. We have to change your outlook and attitude toward your body and your health. We have to get you trained from killing yourself to getting a healthy lifestyle? The problem is I go out the door with the same knowledge I've always had and that's how I got there in the first place. So where am I now. Oh I've lost a few pounds and I yoyo on the eating healthy. I come from a meat and potatoes way of life. It's so hard to change. It's not that I don't like or enjoy eating fruit and veggies, but 50 years of habit are damn hard to turn around.

Last year I came across the acid-alkaline connection, read a few books, checked the web (as dangerous as that is) and find it makes sense to me. Again, it’s just hard to maintain the lifestyle. Last fall I was walking 4-5 miles, 4 to 5 times a week and was down to 198 pounds. But winter came, I strayed and now this week I had trouble walking two miles and I weigh about 213. How come they don't have a "New Attitude with Will Power" pill? Have you come across that in your research? We could get really rich on that one.

I do look out for other people's health also. I'm hoping to get Unbearable Lightness to come and do my lawn work for me the summer.

Until Next Time.

OK, Lin, here's this model's secret to staying thin: all by yourself, no cheating--no husband, buy a half acre of land and take care of it mostly by yourself (lawn service to apply chemicals allowed). Let your brother-in-law help you lay two and a half tons of sod, but mow your own lawn, pull your own weeds, shovel all the snow from the 90-foot driveway.

This is guaranteed to keep the pounds at bay and to keep up muscle mass. Not only that, this former wimp can now haul 40-lb. bags of mulch around the beautiful green lawn she herself created.

Then let your hunger be your guide.

I am serious about this, by the way.

You are absolutely spot on about our relationship with food. I think there's very few models who have a "normal" relationship with food (ie. eat when you are hungry to nourish your body). I think in this day and age, we don't eat to nourish our bodies anymore, we eat because the ads tell us we should eat this or that, and it all looks so tempting, and it all is so easily available. And then, at the same time, we need to be **really** skinny. No wonder so many of us do the yo-yo thing.
I try to focus on a healthy diet, but I find I'm failing miserably. Mostly because I live life on the run, it's so much easier to grab for ready-made, processed foods versus cooking something from scratch. This is my major goal for myself right now: finding a better balance in terms of what to eat - not just for myself, but also my family. Thanks for sharing your advice - I'm inspired by your attitude.
