Seamonkey is just too cute! I know you are busy but you should be writing books about this stuff. Your view of things and your word choice is hysterical. <BR/><BR/>I'm with ya on the weight thing. It seems like it should be easy right? I don't get it either. I think some people have to put twice as much into the excercise than others and that sucks!Danahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15092598131408657961noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23114430.post-5265962500565030752007-06-03T19:58:00.000-07:002007-06-03T19:58:00.000-07:00my goodness he is gorgeous...have sent you an emai...my goodness he is gorgeous...<BR/><BR/>have sent you an email...hugs...Jillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04275708537867627681noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23114430.post-2022589137993529332007-06-02T08:10:00.000-07:002007-06-02T08:10:00.000-07:00I have a pretty good diet that really works.

Orchids in your armpits!<BR/><BR/>OMG - that is terrible that Jenny costs so much. When I just re(for the billionth time)started working to lose weight I was as frustrated and disgusted with myself as you are writing about.<BR/><BR/>2 weeks in I found some things shifting. 8 weeks in I am finding I am liking the healthier food and not enjoying my older food choices when I indulge a little (not ALL of them, I still love the pizza and ice cream MMmmm)<BR/><BR/>I am going to Weight Watchers - I know that costs money too, but at least you don't have to buy their food. If your schedule is too busy for meetings you can join online - it works great too. I did it 2 yrs ago and lost 65 lbs -- ah, those were the days.<BR/><BR/>I am also part of a knit bloggers Weight Loss Challenge. Feel free to join us - we would love you to.<BR/><BR/>SeaMonkey looks totally in his element on the beach. Gorgeous, gorgeous boy.
