A perfect figure
We’re all on a spring time diet in the house, including Susie-Belle, in fact it’s mainly Susie-Belle and I who are dieting. When I say dieting, it’s more the cutting down than cutting out kind of diet. Dieting is never a highly successful occupation in this house of gluttinous foodies, but we’re giving it a go, again, for a few weeks.
I’m keeping our goals realistic, Susie-Belles is to lose a kilo, not the two kilos the vet last week suggested. There’s no point in having a super slender Susie-Belle, but neither, I know do we want a super tubby one.
I happen to believe that she has the makings of a perfect, hourglass figure, much like another renowned and admired foodie, whose love of culinary pleasures leads to curves to be coveted.
The hourglass figure used to be a lot more acceptable and desirable than it is these days, shame really as the round and curvy shape with a well defined waistline with fuller hips is a brilliant one for females like myself and Susie-Belle to aspire to whilst living with a chef, it’s the most realistic one at least.
I take comfort from hourglass shaped women from the past, before the stick-thin madness became the norm.
So whilst I realise neither Susie-Belle nor myself should be chubby fatties if we’re to live the long, healthy, happy lives that I wish us to, I am content that a bit of cutting back is all we both need do over the next few weeks.
And then Susie-Belle’s curves will be joined by a well-defined waistline, and voila, a perfect figure will emerge, it’s there, below the surface, I can see hints of it๏ปฟ.
Oh Susie-Belle I remember when I was put on a reducing diet about a year ago and it’s no fun when you really LOVE food. But right now I am having to gain weight as those pups of mine are taking their fill of my energy. Don’t diet too much – maybe an extra run round the garden or the beach would help instead ๐ woofs and licks from Magic xx
Thanks Magic for the encouragement, we both need it as we do LOVE our food. Yep, we’re increasing our walking and I’m hoping we’ll all be sea swimming soon together, in fact that’s a good hobby for the fuller figured amongst us, the extra natural insulation helps ๐
Only yesterday I laughed when I heard a comment on the radio…it went something like this: …” I always thought that a “stick figure” was how you draw people when you have no artistic talent…..now it is the figure our people are trying to aspire to!!”
Go Nigella!! I come from a long line of short round people. Stick is something I will never be. Rubie and I are always trying to lose a few pounds!!
Wish you well, Rubie’s mum xxx
