Long time, no post

I did go and weigh the last two times. Perhaps I shall even transcribe the results onto this blog, at some point. However, they are not very inspiring. What I have learned is that I must not spend too much time with my neighbors or my sister, as they all attempt to influence me into eating and drinking high caloric things that are not good for my health.

I had lost a goodly amount of weight, but, between running out of fresh vegetables and having a very hard time getting anyone to help me get more and all the shenanigans with fudge and beer, I gained some of it back.

Today is Friday, the 18th. I measured my waist the other day and it was 48" . Now, I shall commence to taking safflower oil, every day, to see if it is true that taking it helps to shrink your waistline significantly  There are other good benefits that are claimed, but, I cannot measure those from at home.

I  was going to post some other links, that I had seen before, but, all I can find is regurgitated versions of the above.Perhaps I shall try again later. At any rate, the recommended dosage is generally 1 tsp - 2 tsp.  As I am poor, I shall try 1 tsp per day for one week and then measure my waiist, again. Though, I guess I should do lower abdomen, too.

Okay, these are sitting down measurements, at the edge of couch, so that my belly is definitely pushed up. This makes it easier for me, in my crooked arsed state, to find my waistline and measure it .

So,I measured around the area that was definitely a wastline indent on the left side and as in as straight of a line around as I could muster. 50-1/2"

For the lower abdomen, I measured down on the hips, right above the crease, in the back, where the leg and hip join, and, of course, all the way around in as straight of a line as possible. 59"

Due to feeling ill, I did not use Safflower oil today, and I have decided to call time on this experiment, after 5 days of taking the oil. Today would have been the 6th day.

I measured my waist at 49" and my lower abdomen at 57". Now, I did not definitely use 1 tsp. of safflower oil. I did not know where my measuring spoons were; but, I am quite sure it wasn't enough for 2 tsps. of it and sometimes it was less than 1 tsp.

So, yeah, it appears to work. After all, I was gassy and a bit bloated when I took the measurements. That's still 1-1/2" off my wait and 2" off the lower abdomen.

Wow! I forgot what the measurements were, and I thought I had gotten fatter, but, I guess I was wrong. For, today, I measured my waist and lower abdomen in the same manner, and the measurements were: Wasit: 48-1/2"  Lower abdomen - 56-3/4". So, a little improvement and, this time, not using safflower oil!
