Day 314 - On the road to Planet of the Thin
Me: Are you sure this looks OK (pointing to my waist)... tucking
my shirt in?
Wife: Yes it does
Me: Are you sure?
Wife: YES!
Me: You know I am not use to this. It feels weird. You would tell me if it didn't look good, right?
Wife: You bet I would!
Me: I know you would too. You would cut me down any chance you could! LOL!
Wife: LOL!
This dialogue has been taking place in one form or another during the past month. I guess for me it is the equivalent of the "Does my ass look big in these jeans?" dialogue that women have.
It is weird how I feel self conscious about this aspect. I never had this issue when I was a lot heavier and wore the shirt out over the pants. There was no issue - I was overweight, obese. This is how we dress - shirt out, period.
I still like my baggy XL shirts even though I am a size Large. Although a lot of the weight in the gut has been shed, *something* remains behind in its space.
Pre-Exercise Snack: 1/2 bialy toasted with marg.
B- (after workout) 3-4 oz thick slice of ham, 6 oz FF yogurt with this mixed in.
L- (2:19 PM): Lean Cuisine - chicken with fettucini noodles, fresh carrot
3:20 PM - effin Lean Cuisine!...my stomach's growling. Down boy, down...yes, that was a meal not a snack!
4:45 PM - 1 SF Jello and . 5 oz (airplane size) pretzel bag (total: 70 calories, no fat)
Snack (5:30 PM): 4 oz 2% cottage cheese, Melba Toast
D- too many sirloin tips, yellow rice, 1 brownie
Late night - 2 Milano cookies, 1 snack size bag of cheetos, 2 bowls of cereal (Crispex)
