Growing---bigger not taller!

One time I picked up the little boy from the daycare center, his playmate came to me and said hello. He's a cute little boy with blue round eyes...just when my son started in the day care, he was just a baby. Time really flies fast, I said and the caregiver, the boy's mom are in agreement with that. The mom said how fast was is that her son is so tall now, upon hearing this my little boy said, we all grow, even us parents. The caregiver jokingly said yes, we grew bigger and wider not taller! True, we're not getting any younger nor thinner, this is really depressing it makes me want to believe that there are really diet pills out there that can help me shed off some pounds. Sadly, they turn out to be fads most of the time. I heard maybe you've heard about lipozene, fenterdren or the ever famous bangkok pills but I haven't heard of one that is a surefire way to help ypu reduce weight...*sigh*

Beauty suffers....so true so true!

Missing Papaya :)

Papain, I learned is an enzyme that tenderizes meat. It is also used as a home remedy treatment for jellyfish, bee, yellow jacket (wasps) stings, mosquito bites, and possibly stingray wounds, breaking down the protein toxins in the venom. Growing  up surrounded with papaya trees, it is one of my favorite fruits. I enjoy eating it as is, with milk or sometimes with calamansi juice. I also believe in the other benefits of eating papaya...it makes your skin glow and it aids in digestion...probably because of the enzyme content.

Where I am now, papaya is considered an exotic fruit. They are imported from Brazil and could not be as sweet as they are back home. This is why I sometimes buy canned papayas from the Asia shop or just take in supplements that contain papaya essences (most of the time combined with pineapple essences) and I also take in drinks pureed from papaya. It works how I want it, helps going to the toilet easier and my stomach feels cleaner in some way. It's like a cleansing method too.

(I sometimes feel I've been doing everything to keep my weight on check but I guess it's for the better.  I've read about the lemon cleanse and did that for 2 days, I can't say anything about the effectivity because it was short of the required days one should do. Anyway, I have been reading more about other ways of cleansing, you can click here to learn more about quick trim fast cleanse.)

Weight loss and that

The information highway has lots to give about diets, health and nutrition and even the best weight loss products in the market. There are different trainings recommended, tablets that works as suppresants, food intake diets,  cleansing methods, plastic cloth therapy, skin-tightening lotions, medical treatment all for the goal of making one's self look better.

I must admit I have tried some of those (not all lol!), and none has worked with lasting results so far. I have been to the gym, tried the negative calorie diet and the gm diet but still, I'd look ok then fat, ok then fat and I'm just tired of it. I plan to do Pilates come February...so let's see...
