it's all about the ratios

it's true, women. according to science, men of science, a waist to hip ratio (WHR) of .7 is good lookin'. audrey hepburn, marilyn monroe ... .7s. which means their waist circumference is 70% of the hip circumference. 

my WHR is indubitably not .7.  i could measure and see what it is, but i just don't think my tender emotions are ready for that. 

let's get real. i done went and got fat on myself.
i'm not happy being heavy.
it doesn't suit me. 

so here i go. inspired by a friend, and determined to be damn sexy again, i will eat food that doesn't taste as tasty as the food i'm currently eating, and do things that burn more calories than the things i am currently doing. 

here here!
and can i get an 'amen sista'
and maybe a 'woot woot', too.

I am so excited that you started this blog! And I'm so glad that you were motivated by my blog. That makes me feel great! I'm excited to see your progress. Losing weight and getting fit is the best feeling. Its hard, but so worth it.
Oh, and I would definitely recommend reading the book. The author is a hardcore health freak, but I'm just trying to change slowly. Its easy to get overwhelmed when you're trying to change habits. Good luck!

I'd say you're a "little dash of extra"! You're amazing! Way to go getting this far, it definitely takes some commitment. Take it slow. And I'm here for ya whenever. Do "free nights and weekends" include HI? We should chat sometime.
