Oh to be slim!


My mate Rockhunter sent me this photo, with the email titled "Oh to be slim!". We're both of us no longer slim, alas. I once was, in another galaxy long ago and far away....

I'm on a diet which has worked very well in the past - I lost 17.5 kilos over 10 months. So far I've lost 1.8 kilos over 2 weeks. Meanwhile, this picture will encourage me to keep going.

He has a nice smile, doesn't he?

I like the last picture best too. I've heard it called a swimmer's build. And the women you overheard had the right idea on what makes a guy attractive. A clean well-groomed older man can be just as appealing as a youth in full bloom. They described what makes a man attractive succinctly and accurately. It bears quoting;

"They found men working with rolled up shirt-sleeves sexy; they found men with shapely bums sexy; they found men who were strong yet kind and compassionate very hot. "

Yet I still somehow feel I ought to work out, build my biceps and shoulders and chest and pecs.

Abs under control then, Nigel? I've been doing so many crunches that I have calluses on my bum. I know the abs are there somewhere, but they are too shy to show themselves.

My abs are hidden too. But you learn in ballet to stand up straight, and when I do, my tummy is much flatter!
