Arlo and Janis by Jimmy Johnson for February 24, 2024

I am totally afraid to get a new scales….

Saw a meme touting an appetite suppressant. “Hoodia gordonii, also known as Bushman’s hat, is a leafless spiny succulent plant supposed to have therapeutic properties in folk medicine.” However these claims are 20 years old and have been mostly debunked.

You know when you get older, carrying a slight amount of older weight correlates to longer lifespan. Not obesity but being in the “overweight” range. Because it gives you resources against wasting.

Well, Valentine’s Day just ended.

Does she always wear exactly the same clothes when she weighs herself… with exactly the same things (if any) in her pockets? I’m always naked when I weigh myself; it’s the only way I can make valid comparisons.

I think JJ, needs to have Janis try weight lifting, either at a gym, band resistance or where the body is on a sliding track and is the resistance.

Carbs, carbs, carbs!

either accept yourself, keep whining, or doing something. Losing weight takes either dedication or a credit card and a doctors appointment.

I’m certain by now Arlo knows to just sit quietly and appear to listen.

while walking is a good exercise it’s not really effective by itself to lose weight unless you’re on a force march carrying half your body weight in a rucksack.

Yeah, I know that I shouldn’t say this, but this is rare for us.

Neither my Janis nor I gained weight over the season. Also, I’ve lost five pounds since mid-January.

Never fear, though. I’m sure that I will soon regain it and more.

I just checked today’s Peanuts. It’s topic is highly coincidental.

Just let the scales fall from your eyes…

Janis is one honest person…….

I need to buy a scale, but I’m a bit scared to.

What happened to Gus’ big announcement?

My retired neighbor told his wife that if he takes a walk around the neighborhood twice a day then he can eat anything he wants.

Looks like somebody overdid it on Presidents’ Day

What happened to the conclusion of yesterday’s strip?

Eat less, (portion control) and increase your activity. That is how you lose weight.

:-)

Is he ever going to let her figure out that it’s the food?

Yes, they do tend to stick around long after the holidays!

This ran today in my sub right above Classic Peanuts with Snoopy and his “doughnut diet”. >

I lost weight once but, I found it. It was just hanging around waiting for me to reclaim it. (:~((

Shed the “winter bra” and long undies and wool socks and weigh again. My winter extras and 5 pounds to me.

So? Enjoy some greens on St Patty’s Day!!

Every day is a holiday somewhere. Be proud of how WELL you celebrate them all.
