On Losing Weight and Empowering Your Sex Life…

I’ve always been rather dead-set against diets. Aren’t they all notoriously silly gimmicks called ‘die-its’ promising unreal before-and-afters? I’ve been lucky, because I have never been too extremely overweight and I certainly never let a few extra pounds get in the way of having a great sex life.

What Changed My Mind?

It wasn’t a sudden thing. It was more like the ‘drip, drip’ effect - gaining a pound or two a year - which I just couldn’t seem to shake off. It was so gradual, I had little reason to ever consider dieting. But, after 20 years and 20 unshakable pounds, ‘Presto!’ My body just wasn’t as light and bouncy as it once was. Those bulges nagged away in the background of my thoughts and on the forefront of my belly for years and years.

So, one day I did the unthinkable. I ditched the ‘I can do this myself’ theory and signed up for a program supervised by a doctor. I ‘just’ lost 20 pounds on this program. Along with doing the Tigress Exercises and Willow Waist… I have to say, being the weight I was during college definitely makes me feel sexier than ever.

While I don’t think being overweight should affect anyone’s sex life, if you are one of those individuals who lug along an inner tube wrapped around your waist or your thighs, you know it can and does simply get in the way. I know that self esteem is supposed to come from deep within, but it sure doesn’t hurt when you catch a glimpse of yourself walking by a window saying, “who’s that sexy chick?” It’s me!

I don’t know if it will last forever, nothing does. But, I learned something very interesting about how this relates to shopping habits by gender. A friend mentioned that when she asks her husband to get some bananas, he comes home with… bananas! This just doesn’t happen with women. When we go shopping for bananas we usually end up shelling out $50 bucks for a lot more than a bunch of bananas - lucky if we can even remember what we went in for!

Before I went on this program, I thought grocery shopping was about browsing around for whatever caught my attention while being pulled every which way by all sorts of possible delights. Usually that included the vegetable clerks. I love those guys. Fondling fruit all day, not a bad way to make a living.

The other day I went in for mangoes (one of the things I can eat), and I left with… you got it, mangoes! Is this how men do it? I still think going in and coming out with only what I intended to get is just shy of a miracle. I still flirt with the guy at the counter - seems he likes my mangoes, too…
