I have to admit, it's quite cool to appear in non-tg related media :-)
Guess I fooled some people... looks can be deceiving ... ;-)

#DietDuringMenstruation
It was going pretty good til I stopped in the Corner Bakery for a Greek Salad (only)
and I got interested in the Cinnamon Streusel Cake sitting by the cash register.
Just like me, in my "Sweetest Southern Drawl", I asked for just an "itty bitty" bite
(better known as a sample taste) of it. Don't know if she felt sorry for me, I looked
really hungry, or it totally disgusted her; but reached over, took off the cake dome
and proceeded to cut me a "huge bite"! Whoa....how generous she was and how
quickly she managed to "bust" my diet!

eat it all either!"

Darwin Harbour is the body of water close to Darwin in the Australian Northern Territory. It opens to the north at a line from Charles Point in the west to Lee Point in the east into the Beagle Gulf and connects via the Clarence Strait with the Van Diemen Gulf. It contains Port Darwin, which is flanked by Frances Bay to the east and Cullen Bay to the west.
Name
It was named after the naturalist Charles Darwin who sailed with Robert Fitzroy on the ship HMS Beagle around parts of Australia. However, Darwin and Fitzroy sailed in 1836 from King George's Sound (Western Australia) directly to the Cocos-Keeling Islands, at the south coast of Java, and from there to Cape Town and back to England. They stayed thus away from Darwin Harbour by 3000 sea miles and did not know of its existence.
Climate
The climate of the Darwin Harbour region is monsoon tropical with two distinct seasons: the Dry and the Wet. The Dry lasts for 6 months between April and September with an average rainfall of 24 mm, whereas the Wet lasts between October and March with an average monthly rainfall of 254 mm/month (according to the Bureau of Meteorology, 1999). The majority of the rain falls between December and April. Runoff varies between 250–1000 mm. Riverine discharge is relatively low with the exception of the Blackmore River and Elizabeth River. Peak flow for these rivers occurs in February, respectively 605Ml/day and 389 Ml/day, after which it slowly decreases until July when there is no freshwater input into Darwin Harbour until the onset of the following wet season (Padovan 1997). Cyclone frequency is low to moderate.
Marine life
Darwin Harbour supports very high fish diversity with 415 fish species now known. Darwin Harbour provides a unique opportunity to see dugongs in the wild, because their favourite food is located off Casuarina and Vestey’s beaches. Seagrass meadows are also the main diet of green turtles and provide habitats for many smaller marine animals including commercially important species such as prawns and fish.
Oceanography
The tides at Port Darwin are macro-tidal with a maximum tidal range of 7.8 m, a mean spring range of 5.5 m and a mean neap range of 1.9 m (Padovan, 1997). The currents caused by these tides are complex and strong.
Estuaries

Darwin Harbour is a drowned river valley and consist of ria shorelines and extensive headlands.
Catchment
The catchment of Darwin Harbour occupies a total area of approximately 3,230 square kilometres (1,247 sq mi), of this 2,010 square kilometres (776 sq mi) is land based and the other 1,220 square kilometres (471 sq mi) are estuarine areas at the high water mark.
Geology
The underlying lithology is dominated by Permian siltstones and sandstones.

The Mediterranean diet is a modern nutritional recommendation inspired by the traditional dietary patterns of Greece, Spain and Southern Italy. The principal aspects of this diet include proportionally high consumption of olive oil, legumes, unrefined cereals, fruits, and vegetables, moderate to high consumption of fish, moderate consumption of dairy products (mostly as cheese and yogurt), moderate wine consumption, and low consumption of meat and meat products.
On November 17, 2010, UNESCO recognized this diet pattern as an Intangible Cultural Heritage of Italy, Greece, Spain and Morocco.
Despite its name, this diet is not typical of all Mediterranean cuisine. In Northern Italy, for instance, lard and butter are commonly used in cooking, and olive oil is reserved for dressing salads and cooked vegetables. In both North Africa and the Middle East, sheep's tail fat and rendered butter (samna) are the traditional staple fats, with some exceptions. Indeed, one researcher concludes: "It appears that currently there is insufficient material to give a proper definition of what the Mediterranean diet is or was in terms of well defined chemical compounds or even in terms of foods.... The all embracing term 'Mediterranean diet' should not be used in scientific literature...."
The most commonly understood version of the Mediterranean diet was presented, amongst others, by Dr Walter Willett of Harvard University's School of Public Health from the mid-1990s on. Based on "food patterns typical of Crete, much of the rest of Greece, and southern Italy in the early 1960s", this diet, in addition to "regular physical activity," emphasizes "abundant plant foods, fresh fruit as the typical daily dessert, olive oil as the principal source of fat, dairy products (principally cheese and yogurt), and fish and poultry consumed in low to moderate amounts, zero to four eggs consumed weekly, red meat consumed in low amounts, and wine consumed in low to moderate amounts". Total fat in this diet is 25% to 35% of calories, with saturated fat at 8% or less of calories.

Plain and simple... (I am a biochemist by training and have been fighting the flab for many years, then I listened to "over the sugar hill parts 1 & 2" by Steve Gibson and it all made sense. I lost 50Kg in 18 months) , give up sugar and carbohydrates eat about 900 calories of everything else, loose weight.
No magic, not fads, yes you are hungry (that's your body telling you that you are loosing weight). When you reach your desired weight eat a bit more but don't go back to the sugar and carbohydrates.

Osprey with prey (bird)? We were on Wolf Rd. south of 159th st when we saw a bird sitting in the corn field. Not sure what it was I did a U turn & realized it was an Osprey. At 1st we thought it might be injured. I grabbed the camera & crossed the street to avoid traffic. All of a sudden it took off with what I think is a bird in it's talon. Believing Osprey only ate fish I went on line & found out that 99% of their diet is fish but sometimes they will eat frogs,small animals & birds .

Una dieta a base di proteine può comportare rischi per la salute via www.diggita.it/v.php?id=1579054
By "The Japanese Diet," I mean a way of getting and staying slim inspired by the Japanese lifestyle, rather than what the Japanese eat, and I'm not saying I do all these things.
Eat slowly, with smaller bites using chopsticks
Use smaller plates (Wansink, Ittersum, & Painter, 2006),
Eat a variety of things in very small portions,
Cut your slices of bread in half,
And bring your food to your eyes, so it looks big, like a bonsai tree
Enjoy eating, the taste, texture, look, variety of your food
But do not use food as a way of cheering yourself up
Try to believe that treating yourself with food is less fun than treating yourself with being thin - Kate Moss "Nothing tastes as good as skinny feels" is also a maxim in Japan.
Don't talk when eating, concentrate on your food
Think of food as a gift from all people who made it possible, and say an undirected "thank you" before you start your meal.
Do not drink sweet drinks, which are only for children. They contain 6-13 teaspoons of sugar
Do not drink fruit juice, which is only seemingly healthy
If you do drink fruit juice water it down by up to ten to one
Drink green tea, black coffee, wheat tea (mugi cha), or water
Do not eat sweets, which are only for children
If you do eat sweet things only in miniature, and not very sweet
Do not eat dairy products, which are for children, or hefers
Do not eat cheese which is concentrated bulking up food, not even for cattle
Eat less, more often
Eat vegetables Eat vegetables!
Always "eat" soup before your meal
Treat proteins as flavourings, for your vegetable matter, rather than as a way of filling yourself up
Remember that meats are dead animals by eating it raw and call your "beef" cow and your "pork" pig, and eat fish, or failing that chicken in preference to both.
Soy, and other beans, is the best source of protein eat lots of it in many forms (Eda beans, bean sprouts, tofu, miso, kinako ground roasted soya beans, red bean paste which is Japanese for chocolate, natto and others). The Japanese are made of soy!
Rice is better than bread
Cold rice is less calorific than hot
Exercise is better than calorie reduction
Wear clothes that fit, no baggies
Get smaller clothes as you get thinner (second hand shops help gaijin, but Japanese usually buy clothes new)
Enjoy your clothes and your appearance
Try to look at the world, by always carrying a camera.
Find ways of enjoying your body, especially as it gets thinner
Take selfies!
Look in the mirror (Nagumo, 2012)
Get naked in front of other people
Go to the pool, beach, or public baths
Do things that you could not do before, climb a mountain, run for your bus, or get a longer bicycle stem to get longer and lower when you can.
Try to improve your posture
necklaces, sit on the floor, stiff rucksacks, martial arts (see below)
Go to bed early and get up early
Exercise in the morning
See exercise as a form of worship, and your body as a temple.
Do exercises which are a repetition of set forms, ideally with others, such as yoga, aerobics or karate
This encourages you to realise what you yourself look like
Drink alcohol only with others (at parties)
or immediately before sleep, never during the day, and like sugar never as a way of cheering yourself up.
Talk, and think in a deep voice; high voices are for other people
Try not to think in words, words are for other people.
Be aware of what thoughts as words are - excuses or cake. (Nisbett and Wilson, 1977; Libet 2008, Soon, Brass, Heinze, Haynes, 2008, Kim, 2002)
Be aware of what cake is - autoaffection (Derrida, 2013)
Judge your own behaviour visually, by imagining it, or thinking about how it looks to others, from their reaction especially.
Listen to your breathing or chant a mantra
Do no criticise others, everyone is trying, nor praise yourself
Linguistic praise is something that is or should be only transitive (the only sort of self praise to allow yourself is narcissistic, in the literal sense - an enjoyment of your self imagining, photos, mirror reflection)
Do things for others, especially children
Sleep, and bathe, with your children. There is no better way of enjoying your body.
The dark side of Japanese thinness
Smoke cigarettes in moderation (and die thin)
Do not eat much of anything, shrink the size of your stomach, and die with haemorrhoids (which seem to be prevalent in Japan)

What a lovely hot day today.....I could say too hot, but I'm not going to, coz it's been so long since it's been too hot to do anything :)
I joined the 100 strangers group a few weeks ago and at long last I plucked up enough courage to stop someone in the street and ask to take their photograph. Whether it was judgement, luck or good fortune I don't know, but Dieter not only agreed to let me intrude into his lunch break but spent 10 minutes chatting to me about his life and making me feel totally at ease in this very strange situation.
When I checked the spelling of his name he asked if I hadn't detected his German accent - Dieter came to the UK 41 years ago, not much accent left from what I could tell. His lip piercings are quite new and he is still toying with them with his tongue but is sure he will get more comfortable with them over time - just like his nipple piercings. He's off to see Stiff Little Fingers tonight - going to gigs is one of his favourite pastimes.
Thank you Dieter for allowing me the time for our brief chat, participating in this project, and allowing a very nervous amateur photographer to relax. get in touch if you want to see the rest of the shots I took
This picture is #01 in my 100 strangers project. Find out more about the project and see pictures taken by other photographers at the 100 Strangers Flickr Group page
