I don't get it

Been trying to lose weight for about 50 years. Really. I remember Dr. Hill in New Castle, Delaware putting me on a diet when I was in the 3rd grade. About 50 years later I am still on a diet. I'll say it, I am a food addict. I love food. I hate that food hates me. Neither of my parents had any weight problems. None of their family members that I ever met had weight problems, except for both my maternal and paternal grandmothers. Great...most people worry about turning into their mothers. I turned into my grandmother! Worked harder at being active this week with 5 trips to the pool. Really. Now I'm no Michael Phelps or whatever his name was, nor that older woman that swam in the Olympics, but I diligently swim back and forth, back and forth 20-30 times. I know for a fact that that has been more exercise than this old body has seen in 30 years. What was the outcome? Woooo hoooo! A whopping loss of .6 pounds. In case you can't see, that was six tenths of one pound! As you can see above, I haven't always been heavy. This was in the early 1980s after having been a lifeguard for 3 years. Ohhhhhh, lose were the days. Also in the pic is my BEST friend, Joanne, and my mom Rene. Love them! Well, back to the diet and exercise!
