I just don’t understand it, I tried and tried often and still I
got no results. I have been trying to lose weight for years, and it just won’t
go away, it is like trying to diet to lose an arm or leg,
I have made some observations in my attempt to be
successful, trying to be scientific about it, maybe think out of the box, and
have applied these conclusions.
Thinking out of the box means eating out of the box. This
concept comes from the old-fashioned idea that you sit at a table to eat. My
thinking is if you don’t get too comfortable, you won’t eat as much. Eating
right out of the box means you are probably standing, and that should help
reduce the amount of calories. This concept comes in handy for cookies and even
Cakes. Again, to take the concept even further, that is why drive-in food is
better than going directly into the restaurant. If you do stand and eat, try
pacing back and forth, a great workout and calorie buster!

Other calorie busters that have come to mind are the idea
that if you eat light, that is better. I have taken this old-fashioned idea a step further: Eat everything in the dark! Wow! You must be saying,
“who would have thought!” This concept has been proven time and time again. As
a young child, when I was skinny, I used to sneak cookies into bed, under the
covers, and I was a skinny for a long time, maybe a week! Sometimes the solutions are under
your nose and you don’t see them, or in my case: under the covers.
Opposite-hand eating. You are right handed? Eat with your
left hand, this makes it uncomfortable and annoying, causing you to slow down
and wanting to get up and go. But don’t stop there, you sit on your right hand
the whole time, this makes for an uncomfortable seat, where suddenly, yes, you
are standing, see above! Not only is your butt sore, but your hand is fast
asleep, and the tingling of your hand, combined with butt pain will help you
lessen your intake and take your mind off of your appetite! I know, “who would have thought!”
TLW (The Little Woman) has a technique that I am envious of:
I call it ‘the alarm dump’. She is eating, realizes that there is too much on
her plate and dumps the rest of it in my dish! You can actually see the calories vanishing
from her. Then she says: “It is a terrible thing to waste, and a lot of
starving Armenians out there.“
My last observation comes by my ability to deduce things
that no one else sees. There is an old saying: “What you don’t see won’t hurt,”
That is true, especially in dieting and weight-gain. The simple act of closing
your eyes while eating, will help.
Indeed.
What is happening is these are calories that you are
ignoring: unnoticed calories are ineffective and by their very nature, will
have no impact. After all, YOU didn’t see them. Now put this all together, eat with your wrong hand, sit on
the other, after the pain sets in start to walk and pace with your eyes closed.
If anything: someone will come by and escort you out of the room for your own good,
leaving all those potential calories behind!

your house while relaxing.’
