That's a term I learned a long time ago. If you are portly or slightly thicker than you should be, then you may be "pleasingly plump", a nice way to say you are a bit overweight. I wished that I had the fortitude to stick with a plan but I have no will power. I don't know when to stop. If you put food in front of me it will be devoured, gone in an instant. During the winter, bulges can be covered by bulky winter jackets and fleece liners. During the summer the bulges become visible as during the warmer weather, jackets are discarded for the simplicity of T-shirts, tank tops & shorts. Every year I think that I should start my reduction plan in advance of Spring but procrastination sets in and progress is never made in the reduction department.
I noticed another unflattering photo taken a few days ago. It makes me think that I should do something about it
but I am weak and I love food too much. Just when I think that I should be strong and not deviate from my plan, a tray of cookies suddenly appear . . .
The temptation is too great, my mouth is drooling and again, I find that I can't stop eating these delightful morsels
I resemble that title :-(

Deletecan't say with certainty, haven't seen you since July, 2010 and you don't post any self portraits wearing a T-shirt so we can decide for ourselves. With all the walking you do I imagine that you are really fit
It is what it is... We will either prevail...or not... :)
ReplyDeleteLori:
DeleteYes, we are what we eat. lots of sugar and ice. It all started with changing over to fruit juice where before I used to drink water. I try to eat less but then I get so hungry I end up eating much more. I wished I had a trim body, like you . . .
i resemble that title too :(
ReplyDeleteomg i bet those cookies are devilishly good! mmmmm.... :)
Ms M:
DeleteNO, you look great ! at least the last time we had lunch in Moss Beach. Can't wait to do it again. If you lick those cookies, they last longer
Those cookies are so awesome. What a great idea. I had not seen any like it before.
ReplyDeleteI think we are all a little 'pudgy' or at least have the perception of it. What is life without a little muffin top? Just pull your waistband up higher to cover it.
Trobairitz:
Deletespeak for yourself, from my perspective you look "just right". I have to start puchasing tops with vertical lines to trick your eyes. As we age we don't realize that your system processes food differently and we require less calories. Now you've got me craving for muffins. I passed by a muffin shop the other day and you would be proud of me, I looked at them then walked away
Take it or leave it, the older I get the less I care what others think. But I do love these cookies, they need to be cream filled like an Oreo so you could twist 'em, lick 'em, dunk 'em and suck 'em. Wait, what?
ReplyDeleteTroubadour:
DeleteI know what you mean. Just close your eyes and imagine; dunking them, licking all the icing off and caressing those petite morsels, and sucking . . . ooh aaahhh, feels good . . .
err, I mean, these are much better than boring Oreos. Oreos don't have any "lust" factor
I feel your pain. On the bright side, I have stopped gaining weight since I retired. I know that eating lunch at work, which usually meant fast food, was a huge problem with me. I know I eat better now, no fast food, and easier to control quality and portions.... That sounds good except for lacking will power to cut back more. I keep telling my self that when I get to the size I want to be, I can buy leather riding pants and a leather jacket.. It hasn't helped. The panty/boobie cookies look interesting!
ReplyDeleteErik:
DeleteYou don't seem old enough to be retired ? I know what you mean about a non working day. On Saturdays I seldom have lunch because I am running around doing things but then I get fatigued, probably because of blood/sugar issues. This is when I have to eat something fast or I feel a bit faint, sometimes a dizzy sort of feeling. I don't have much fast food and we are tending to eat out less. You are supposed to stop eating BEFORE you feel full as it takes 20 minutes for your brain to engage. I should also be retired, except for the economy so I am working a bit longer. I already started to collect my OAP. I'll bet if someone shoved a tray full of these cookies you would start munching on them too
Bob, save some of those for me!! I might try licking too.
ReplyDeleteDavid:
DeleteI've got no willpower, I can't help myself. I've already licked all the icing
(roll eyes) This is gettin' way out of control... ;=)
ReplyDeleteHey, Muffin, more padding to protect us all when we drop the bike! LOL
Deb:
DeleteExtra padding can be good, and bad at the same time. Love handles are hard to get rid of, I've been trying for years and getting nowhere
Think I am going to borrow that plump saying. Its perfect! I, myself, am going to bring turtlenecks back...even in the summer for that darn turkey that is starting to hang around.
ReplyDeleteAnd, wearing the turtleneck in the summer will help prevent dehydration. It will be healthy for you :)
DeleteKaty:
Deletedon't sweat the small stuff. I find that as you get older things don't bother you as much and you care a bit less what others think and what you wear, as long as it is comfortable. We are what we are
Keith:
in the heat of summer I like to wear less. I think a turtleneck would be too hot & sweaty
Being healthy is much more important than "looking healthy". Establishing healthy habits has been an ongoing struggle for me. I do really well for a while, then I slip back. That said, I do think a case could be made that being able to turn away from these cookies would itself been unhealthy.
ReplyDeleteKeith:
Deletewe try to eat healthier foods, prepare more things at home rather than fast food but you have to indulge sometimes, after all we are all human and are subject to temptations. Don't you ever feel like having a piece of dark chocolate ? sometimes I crave for a hamburger, all is okay in moderation
oh my!!!!! Kinky cookies. Gotta love it.
