Good vs Bad - an expose into the lighter and darker side of losing weight

Good: When you step on the scales and it reads the same weight as yesterday and you think, 'Oh well, I will just try harder tomorrow.'

Bad: When you step on the scales and it reads the same weight as yesterday and you think, 'Damn! Where are the chips?'

Good: When you succumb to eating that delicious wedge of cheese and think, 'At least I will have strong bones.'

Bad: When you succumb to eating that delicious cheese and find it 'wedges' itself to an unsuspecting part of your body.

Good: When you try on that new dress, take in all the angles, notice your breasts are spilling out and think, 'Hey, these puppies of mine look mighty fine.'

Bad: When you try on that new dress, take in all the angles and not notice you're treading a fine line between 'buxom' and 'slutty.'

Good: When you spend $300 dollars on that jacket you just had to have and find buying it gave you the best orgasm you had all year.

Bad: When you spend $300 on that jacket you had to have only to find your husbands so furious you're not likely to get another orgasm all year.

Good: When you finally get up the nerve to try on a belt that has been sitting in your cupboard for years and give yourself a mental high five when it does up to the last hole.

Bad: When you realise that same belt was left behind from when Great Aunt Bertha last visited and used your bedroom as a dressing room.

Good: When you venture out for your daily run and get catcalls and honking horns from cars passing by and think, 'Hey, this hard work is finally paying off.'

Bad: When you venture out for your daily run and get catcalls and honking horns from passing cars only to get home and realise you've stuck your granny knickers on the OUTSIDE in your rush to get out the door.

Good: When you've dropped 40 kilos, and bump into that skinny cow you haven't seen for two years, preening when she says, "Darrrrling, somehow you look different? Have you lost weight?'

Bad: When you've dropped 40 kilos, and bump into that skinny cow you haven't seen for two years and deflate realising she still weighs 100 pounds less than could you ever hope to be.

Good: When you deny yourself that bar of chocolate, give it to your girlfriend instead and congratulate yourself on how strong you've become.

Bad: When your girlfriend opens the bar of chocolate and wins a diamond ring and you realise you missed reading about the competition on the side of the packet in your quest to be strong.

Good: When you say to yourself, 'Oh well, I'll always have my brain and good looks.'

Bad: When you say to yourself, 'Oh well, I'll always have my brain and good looks.'
