[GoneGirl]

I never bothered about losing weight as a full-time man. It's true that I don't tend to put on lots of weight, but having a bit of a belly didn't faze me.

Now, as a part-time woman, I'm thinking about my weight a lot, and trying to slim down for appearances' sake. I think my femme side is a bit vain!

Part of the problem is my wife tends to show her love for me through acts of culinary kindness, and, I, a boomer, having grown up at a time when there were starving children in China, I can't seem to avoid cleaning my plate. LOL

Anyway, in addition to aerobic exercise, I'm trying to mentally associate hunger with the realization of my feminine aspirations. Would I rather have that glazed doughnut, or have my budding breasts beat out the belly for first place finish?

Congratulations losing the five pounds, Samantha. You're looking good!
