The skinny behind the sum'thin...

    Already clarified the advancing to not advance in years when I discussed "30 Something", now to deal with the other part of the title ..."the sum'thin". No real mystery here just an endless journey, circle, quest...I don't know can't catorgorize it as a path or destinaition cause the would infer that there is an end. I'm not sure there is an end in my case...
  The Sum refers to the mass of muscle, ligaments, skeletal, plasma, epidermis and let's just deal with the elephant in the room ( pun intended) fat that make up ME! The " thin" refers to the destination, path or end if you will that I have been trying to arrive at for the past 20 yrs. I have tried every fad diet imaginable even those that are just to illogical to work such as the lemonade and syrup diet. I should have known this one would not work because I became to excited when I read about it and started buying the ingredients. Lemons and syrup...hmmm...let's see my vice is the consumption of sugar...carbs...sweets stuff!!! Sugar make me crave more sugar of any kind. Needless to say I didn't lose a thing from that diet which uses sugar/syrup. I've tried the Cambridge , Dick Gregory , Herbal Life, 7 day grapefruit, 7 day cabbage ( I could have powered a car on this one), South Beach, Adkins,Weight Watchers ( just watched my frustration grow cause at the time one had to weigh everything ...b4 the point system). Tried the powders, liquids, pills ( even ones named after Bee's), shots. Funny thing about the appetite suppressants is the thought that people who are over weight are always hungry...not true in my case...more like greedy. I didn't eat all day just that one item I ate which could be a box of Krispy  Creme doughnuts ( hey a box counts as one item,) would have the carb equivalent to 2 wks of needed carb consumption.
    I go to the gym, lost 75 lbs last year did pretty good combining everything I learned from the past several fad diets. Problem... once I stop the 3 times a day regiment , once I go out for drinks with the friends, BBQ during the summer,  consuming beautiful summer fruits...it slowly creeps back...not all but just enough to annoy. I can never move on to the next phase for back tracking to get the last 5 or 10 pounds I just put back on after every weekend...Arghhhhhhhhhhh!!!     
   I try not to fall prey to the conspiracy theorist but durn it the Government, food manufacturers ,doctors, even television show host are all in on it. That's right I said it...THEY don't want you to lose weight. Think about it if everybody became weight conscious what would those Keebler elves do, the Kool Aide guy would have no building to crush through. The shows like Dr Oz and Fit  Club  would have no guest. Why is it that every guest on many shows that come on saying they have lost a mountain of weight when asked how they did it they give you a blanket answer...will power, hard work and exercise and they give you 1 or 2 recipes but no R E A L answer or regimen. The Government let's products that take away your appetite stay on the market when research has already proved that eating more often promotes weight loss not losing your desire to eat. Have you noticed that diet food cost more than regular food? I don't get it...you get only enough food to feed a toddler, no flavor but it cost more. I guess your paying for the ascetically beautiful color illustrations on the box. Ohhhh soooo pretttyyy... Kind of like how I don't get that organic food is food that uses no pesticides, injected dyes, chemicals which would suggest there is less work put into this food but it cost twice as much as food that is filled with stuff that's suppose to kill ya. But that's another subject right there.
   In a nut shell the Sum of my mass is always changing , subtracting, adding trying to reach that "Thin".
