On Get-togethers, Food Indulgence and Weight Loss

The long weekend is over but I still can’t get over with the fantastic get-together we had with my sis and her family.  Her navy man son and his family arrived home for a short visit from their home base in Seattle, Washington.  They took advantage of the limited time to have their new US born baby be baptised here. They chose to carry out their baby’s baptism here  in the country because they wanted their families and close friends to join them in celebrating the special occasion.  Fortunately for them, they achieved what they wanted.  It was indeed one great day of celebration and bonding as well.  It became a reunion of sort, although our own clan wasn’t complete.  But still, it was one remarkable day of get-together and bonding!

And what is there to expect when family reunions take place?   Always, there’s fun and laughter, endless updating, and food, food and more food!  Yup, there was endless eating with no control at all. Lol!  And pig-outs continued until yesterday when we met again in the cemetery, ordered pizzas and other snacks  then ended up in an “Eat all you can” dinner in one popular restaurant.  I’m a bit glad I hardly gain weight despite voracious eating habit. (blush!)  Everybody’s teasing me where am I depositing all those calories I am taking.  But it’s a question the answer of which I could not find.  It’s a different thing nonetheless for my daughter.  She gains weight so easily after just few “Eat all you can” indulgence.  She is very conscious of this but she can’t control her eating habit when she sees sumptuous food.  Quite given where she got it!  Lol!  Nevertheless, she would remorse over  excessive eating when she starts to notice her waistline getting big. Then she would start doing some rigid fitness exercises to lose weight fast.  But I could see it is not an easy feat for her.  She could be exerting full efforts at the start but would ultimately quit in the end.  A bad typical practice indeed.  She obviously needs those weight loss tips from the health buff site I’ve visited.  Like, finding a friend to walk with, set the alarm thirty minutes earlier or maybe engaging in something new can be more fun.  Also stocking up on the Bodytrim ultra low carb snack range so cravings will be diminished. There are many other ways to keep fit.  Exercising in front of TV is her favourite but seems more interesting when I am joining her.  

Get-togethers and food indulgence aren’t much of a problem to me. But to those who easily gain weight just like my daughter, you only need to be aware of your body’s needs.  The route to fast weight loss is being active and eating the right things.  Any form of exercise will get the job done as long as you guard against excessive eating.  And this I’m sure, daughter is well aware that next to get-togethers and pig-outs are weight loss training.
