Tummy Tuck???

I had the biggest laugh yesterday!  My friend, who has been one of my best friends for over 30 years, told me something yesterday. She and I started out together a few weeks ago.  We worked out for several years together when we were younger.

Last Friday, we worked out, then her sister-in-law, met us for lunch and shopping.  We spent the afternoon shopping, I wrote about it here, The 100 Diet Is Paying Off.  That's the day I bought a size 4 skirt.  Anyway, after I left, apparently her sister-in-law told her that I had gotten a tummy tuck.  My friend disagreed and said "No, she hasn't!"  Well, it got into a long discussion and the sister-in-law says "there is no way she could have gotten her stomach that flat without a tummy tuck!"  "You'll never convince me she hasn't had a tummy tuck."

When my friend told me yesterday, I laughed so hard!  I told her maybe I should show her the naked stomach and she would know that I didn't have a tummy tuck.  Now, I have been thinking, maybe I should just let her think that.  What do you think?  And will she ever believe me?

I have been amazed at the changes in my body since I gave up most processed foods.  My stomach has truly melted away.  I have written about it in previous posts.  Have Your Cake And Watch Your Belly Shrink.

I have been following The 100 diet.  I don't want anyone to be confused.  After the first 4 weeks I increased my sugar calories to 300.  Now, I don't really count the sugar calories anymore.  I just stay away from processed foods. 

I have increased my vegetables and fruits as I have gone along.  I am still losing 1/2 to 1 pound weekly.  I usually eat an apple each evening.  I eat lots of squash and zucchini since it is in season and I can get it locally.  I ate tomatoes when I was picking them fresh from my garden. I still am getting a few.  So I eat meat, eggs, nuts, cheese, fruits and vegetables. I eat beans occasionally.  I don't feel like I am on a diet at all.  I feel like I eat whatever I want.  I just don't want processed foods anymore.  

I did have pizza last week when my family got together after the Colts game to celebrate my birthday.   All it did was make me hungry!  I really didn't think it was all that great.  I used to be addicted to pizza.

I love my eating plan and it is working great.  Here is how I started out on my plan.  Detailing the 100 Diet Plan

I think my stomach is in better shape than it has been in over 20 years.  I turned 59 this week.

If you would like to see some of my progress pictures here is the 30 pound weight loss picture.  Those were taken 6 weeks ago.  I see lots of changes since then.  I haven't taken any lately.  I am at 36.5 pounds lost now.  When I get to 40 I will take some new pics!

  2. Take it as a compliment! {P.S. I'd let her know you didn't lose it the easy way, with a tummy tuck. You put in all the hard work. Shout it from the roof tops!}

    XOXO,
    Meredith

    1. I told her exactly what I had been doing. Then afterward she told my friend this so I don't believe she will ever think I didn't have a tummy tuck.

    1. Thanks Frances! I don't think I'll bring it up with her. I will wait and see if she says anything else. I just though it was so funny though!
