10. Only thing you read: takeout menus. 9. You've had a garage door installed in your bedroom. 8. Got cable just for the Food Network. 7. You skip your son's wedding because you don't want to miss Blimpie's 2-for-1 sale. 6. Red Cross changed your blood type from "O" to "Pancake batter." 5. Scientists won a Nobel Prize for measuring your gravitational field. 4. Blinking leaves you winded. 3. You buy ham by the square foot. 2. Southwest Airlines makes you purchase 3 tickets. And the #1 sign you're too fat... 1. You start every day with a nice, steaming cup of gravy. Start your day with a smile, and then remember the moment when you feel stressed! Baking Bud

Oh No Carnation, tell me it is because you look like Dolly Parton, and not like Dom Deluise?!! Well, I can still look down and see my feet, but if my head were on backwards my angle of view would trail 'behind' me ;D! I might think I was a twin! But I am trying to exercise more. Just really isn't much fun though! If I had a mall that was closer, I'd probably join one of those mall walking groups. Walk 12 feet, stare in next window to see what they have on sale! YEP, that is my idea of torture! And to make myself feel better I'd join the 70-80 year old group, so that I'd be the young, good looking one! There are methods to my madness. Always My Best, Baking Bud

Hi Carnation!, Yes, exercise I am convinced is the key, for dieting alone just gets you no where fast. And I DO understand what you are saying about it not being any fun to walk alone. I have 3 friends who I could walk with, except that everytime 2 of them decides they will do it again on a regular basis it isn't long before backs are out, legs are hurting, or one of the 'womanly complaints'. And there I'd be, dressed, hair and make-up done (for when you walk around here, everyone seems to go by that you know and has to wave and stop to talk!), special tennies on, and then the CALL WOULD COME. That would fry my nerves! Now, on the other hand, my other friend would LOVE for me to walk with her, but I'd be dead if I did! That woman thinks nothing of walking for a good 3-4 miles at a fast pace, and if you didn't keep up the WORLD would hear her describe your huffing and puffing at every chance she could get. I know this for a fact, for I've heard about all of her other friends who would whimp out and not walk like she can. Geesh, one friend of her's fell on the hilly incline and twisted her ankle, and my friend had to go home and get her car to come and pick her up. And don't you know it would have only been another 1-1/2 miles to make it home > coming back UP the hilly section! Yep, I'm not putting myself in place for ridicule! (But I do have to say that she is the FUNNIEST person on this earth, and the laughs are great! She can keep the straightest face when saying something that will bend you over in laughter!) We do lunch together a lot! My hubby has said he will walk with me, but what fun would that be? He isn't funny like my friends are, and his 'back' talks to him alot. I'm afraid he'd feel the need to share those conversations with me! Might have to put him out of his misery when we'd get home! Now my 8 month old puppy does run me around the backyard chasing him to get the sticks, leafs, rocks, and other items he finds to terrorize me with. He'd be a great walker, except there are SO MANY dogs around and traffic, that I'd fear what might happen. See many of the avid walkers around the loop carrying golf clubs, a walking cane (and she doesn't need it), etc., so that says to me that they've found the need to fend off a dog. Well, if you live out in So. Ca., come on over and we can walk together! Otherwise, maybe we could come up with an exercise challenge, and then if we didn't do what was on the list for that day we'd have to feel guilty! ;D Hey, it could work!!! Always With My Best, Baking Bud
