What 1 pound of Fat looks like compared to 5 pounds of FAT!

 Yes, enough wine drinking to celebrate my 50 th!! It comes to an end today! Last week we had a few toasts, and this weekend was about the same! Its ok to celebrate, BUT, I really must celebrate with out the drinking!!!! Last week deep down I was dissappointed that the skydive was cancelled due to the hurricane, so I felt I deserved the wine a bit more than just 1 glass of wine. I totally understand why our WLS dr. want us to steer clear of it. You really become uninhibited (duh) , and I find it really opens up my appetiate (sp?) alot! The buzz is nice, but the hummmmm is problematic! Not to mention the sugar!!!!! Besides, skydiving with a hot Italian hottie is it's own celebration!

I came across this image on Pinterest!

This is what 1 pound of FAT looks like! This is 5 POUNDS!

(me holding 5 pounds! my trainer used this for an illustration)

So if I gained, oh, 5 pounds, this is what 5 pounds looks like! OUCH! Its about the size of my one thigh! Thats why my jeans feel so damn tight in my thighs! But damn that 1 pound is pretty impressive too, I will NEVER complain about losing "just 1 pound"!

Time to watch the sugars and those BADDDDD carbs "good bye"!

Oh yes, this looks much better on me, than those 5 pounds do!!!!!

 

happy birthday!!! you look great!

You look amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  What an inspiration!!  MB

Thanks for that image. Of course in addition to being warned about the implications of one pound or 5 pounds of fat now I am so grossed out I don't want breakfast! lol
