Keeping weight off

[djm]

So, what type of bowling balls do you prefer to carry around, Lamby?

(more bounce per ounce, I say)

Some of the weight I lost has already started to come back. A shirt I bought one day on my trip, after I had done the highest Sierra portion, feels tight. I guess the trip didn't speed up my metabolism but instead slowed it down. I suspected as much while I was out there.

Since being home I have not eaten anything with sugar, corn syrup or white flour. Salad and fruit have been my staples.

It may be that I can never be thin.

I agree that weight gain is not a medical issue, unless it comes about because it is a side-effect of some medication or something like that.

And I don't think weight loss requires a doctor visit, either, although you could bring that up at your annual exam if you wish. I'm certain your doctor would just steer you away from fads and toward level-headed advice about diet and exercise.

For people like me, being a tad padded may be as good as it gets, as my experience seems to suggest. A daily marathon and all I got was a healthy weight? I guess it was silly even to entertain the thought of the weight staying off.
