Found another Dukaner via a comment she left on my blog...very nice...I needed that this morning...as I was watering my plants and eyeballing my husbands whole grain bread...and repeating in my head, "I choose, for today, to follow the plan..." Who am I kidding, if that is in this house, I'm going to eat it.
So, I'm going to throw it away (relax..there's only 4 or 5 slices left in the bag...not that I've counted or anything...) and not buy him this kind of bread again. Because I'll eat a piece. Or two.
Anyway...back to the nice lady...which happens to be the name of her blog: L.A.D.Y.
And know what? I'm not alone in struggling.
Yeah. Seems obvious now...
Anyway...read some entries in her blog. Seriously teared me up. And then I looked at the blog links on the side of her page...and found a funny post...you can see it in it's original form here: doesthisblogmakeuslookfat
.6 – That’s not a typo - sometimes the scale says you’ve lost POINT-SIX – or some other miniscule number. This is NOT what you expect if you’re eating right, working on your fitness, and positively envisioning your rightful TWO POUNDS per week. This is the amount of weight you’d expect with say, a good burp.
Shows like The Biggest Loser make you think point-six is craptastic, diet-fail, ridiculous. But it is not. It’s a loss. Whether it’s because you burped, just exfoliated, or used a Ped Egg. It is a loss.
It’s not a Biggest Loser amount it is a Smallest Loser amount. But guess what? We’re going to put things in perspective and feel good about less than one. Here are a few things to think about if you had a teeny tiny loss recently.
1. It’s a loss dufus – how many times have you gained? Lotsa.
2. The average sized hamster is five ounces. Losing MORE than an entire animal is impressive.
3. A hockey puck is between 5.5 ounces and 6 ounces. Imagine the disaster if Wayne Gretzky lost a hockey puck? That’s big trouble.
4. A chicken breast. You’ve removed a chicken breast size amount of fat from somewhere. Perhaps overall? Certainly we hope it was point-six distributed evenly. What if we lost point-six from ONE arm? Odd. Hoping point-three from each.
5. Multiply point-six by 52 and you get 31 pounds in a year unless that’s only point-six ounces. Than we have no idea.
