Melting Pot...

Have you ever noticed how snow melts? When it first comes down from the sky its all fluffy and white and almost magical. But before you know it, it becomes piles of hard, crusty and DIRTY snow that you wish would hurry up and melt away. And here in Utah it usually does. But not from the top, like we wish it would melt and get rid of that ugly old brown stuff. It melts instead from underneath, getting smaller each day, but leaving the ugly crusty stuff still visible on top, until finally one day, it too disappears.
I've decided that's how FAT melts too. You have this obnoxious bad spot on your body that you think if you could just lose a few pounds, away it would go. But no! It's just like that melting of the snow in that it disappears from the inside out. As you lose the weight, it truly comes off, but not in the places you want. Instead it melts from underneath, getting smaller each day, but leaving those ugly thunder thighs, saddle bags, swelly belly, bongo boobs or disasterous front butt just as odd-sized as it was before. You seem to have the same shape, just a different size.
What the giraffe?
