Shampoo vs. Dishwashing Liquid

I may be struggling with my weight, but I have finally realized what my problem is.

When taking a shower, I often use the shampoo to lather myself.  Yesterday I read what was written on the bottle : "For extra volume and body".  No wonder it is so difficult to keep my weight under control.  From now on I will instead use dishwashing liquid for showering, it claims : "Dissolves fat that is otherwise difficult to remove"!

Ha ha, if only it was that simple!

(I received this story and cartoon via email, so don't know who to give credit to.)

In my case, I am still working on it, but not hard.  I have lost about 6 pounds since the start of the year.  But I have other more significant issues.  Like the ongoing neck problems, which now keeps my "pit crew" of 2 chiropractors and 1 massage therapist busy, and still I am in regular pain.  I have finally come to the realization that it is my inability to cope with the stress of my current work situation that is the root of most of my issues.  Thanks to some encouragement from a true friend, I am now taking steps - or at least planning what those steps are - to recreate a new position for myself which will be fulfilling, and not nearly as stressful.

I look forward to some positive changes in the next month or two.  I hope in the process, I will learn how to take care of myself.

  2. Thanks Sharlene, nice to hear from you again. Funny, we just discovered a Lindt chocolate boutique store, and brought home 7 boxes of chocolates tonight (they were 70% off!), so I guess that won't help with the weight!!
