That's progress right? <br />to your coworker who loves butter, tell him to skip the popcorn and just eat the butter- he'll eat less of it and end up with less calories overall. If he eats popcorn without butter, he'll just inhibit fat mobilization and be hungrier later. I watched myself in amazement piling butter onto a few slices of bread with dinner tonight (bread is a luxury since we are nominally low carb/paleo). Way more butter than I would have eaten on veggies (but really good). (BTW, your eggs benedict story sounded really good- I adore hollandaise).<br /><br />I wouldn't have pictured you as the sort of person who cares what others think - maybe it's all bluster. Hey, a dog like that would drive me crazy too. <br /><br />One of my kids wants to go into counseling. I'll point him to your blog so he can see what he's getting himself into. I think it must be a very taxing job.<br /><br />I know what you mean about the different sizes of clothes. Some of my favorites are just huge on me now but I can't bring myself to get rid of them. I do some of the same calculating about how much I *should* run because of overindulgences. Unfortunately, injuries and time constraints can interfere. From what I've read, you might be better off keeping the exercise moderate and watching the diet more closely. You might enjoy Lyle's series on weight loss and how to be a personal trainer. http://www.bodyrecomposition.com/fat-loss/training-the-obese-beginner-part-6.html He's got some good ideas and is very readable.<br /><br />CynthiaDrs.
