Men and Women

OK, every woman probably has a post like this on their weight loss blog, I've even seen a commercial utilizing this complaint to try to suck you into buying their weight loss product. Yet, here I am to get this old complaint off my chest and into the bloggosphere.

I've been running since May, I have done a fairly good job on my diet, although like many I have my bad spells (and no I don't mean one long spell, either). After 7 long months of running I have managed to loose enough weight to be were I was in February. To be honest, though, I gained weight between February and April, as evidenced by the photographs of my son and daughter's birthday parties.

You know if I were a man, I would have already lost 25 pounds and been very lean, possibly even while eating twice as much as I currently am. I actually talked to my Dr. about my lack of weight loss and she wants me to cut out carbs and wine. Honestly, I'd rather just remain running while fat than cut out my carbs and wine. She even admitted she wouldn't be having this conversation with a man in my position and in the rare event a man were to need her help she'd probably tell him to reduce all of his food rather than cut out one thing, since carbs don't cause them as much problem as it does for women. So here I am, running while fat and loving my carbs and wine.

Well, that's the end of my obligatory complaint about men, for now.
