Since I've been on a visual food kick for the past few days, I thought I needed to visually diet some. In truth, I am not a dieter, never have been. I was one of those lucky women who remained thin throughout her twenties. And then 32 hit. Suddenly, I could NOT shed that last ten pounds. I even managed to keep the same ten pounds when I delivered my last baby. All my usual habits showed after 32. And the drag is, I cannot stand exercise. So I only walk/hike a little, I do only a tad of aerobic-like workouts, I chase around the kids. I gather and nest and make beds and clean floors. And there I stay at the one forsaken weight. I know, I know, we shouldn't pay attention to numbers. Because it's what's inside that counts.

What is it? This is a lunch bag that our local supermarket was giving away. The red bag is wrapped in plastic. I figure this photo tells the story of a how the literal body is holding the thin woman back - or is it commentary on the plastic nature of faddish diets - or is it a reflection of light, signifying the concept that we never really see others, we only see ourselves in others - or is it...just a lunch bag advertising a corporate product that depends on our believing in our obesity in order to make money?

BTW, I've got a horrible cold-flu again which is why I'm not touring PBase as I usually do.

Sigh. I guess I need more vitamins and more exercise.
