You know you lost weight when

sad story

many years ago

family was going for a nice drive

i was sitting in the back seat with my siblings

wasn't a smooth ride

while dad was driving, the back end of the car was

in a lower "position"

car was weighed down

not sure i'm saying the above right

i commented about the situation a few times

asking dad what's the problem

what is the matter

what's going on

he FINALLY said. there's a lot more weight where you are sitting

i wanted to die

he wasn't being mean, he just answered my question

dad died 20 years ago today

i wish he was alive today so he could see me now

he would have been so proud

Don't have to fight for the arm rest

@@OKCPirate

that's a good one that i hadn't thought of

i was talking to my "neighbor" sitting next to me on the plain

(hubby says i can strike up a conversation with a lamp post) :lol:

shortly after we started our chat

she said something like "let me pull this down for you" (referring to the arm rest)

or is it the other way around :wacko:

don't have that prob anymore - i frequently sit in the middle seat

on the plain!!!

how cool is that?? :rolleyes:

I noticed today the seat belt has about a foot of slack today. Last year I fretted if I could suck in the gut enough to avoid the "extender of shame" ????

      Factors Affecting the Growth of the Alternative Sweeteners Industry:
      Health Consciousness: The increasing awareness among individuals about the health issues linked to high sugar consumption, such as obesity, diabetes, and cardiovascular diseases, is supporting the market growth. Consumers are becoming more health-conscious and seeking products that can provide sweetness without the negative health effects associated with sugar. This shift in consumer preferences is leading to a greater demand for low-calorie and natural sweeteners like stevia, monk fruit, and erythritol. These sweeteners offer the added benefit of having minimal impact on blood glucose levels, making them suitable for diabetic and health-conscious individuals.
      Technological Advancements: Innovations in the production and formulation of alternative sweeteners are impelling the market growth. Advancements in biotechnology and food science are leading to the development of high-intensity sweeteners with improved taste profiles and functional properties. Innovations in fermentation processes enhance the production efficiency and quality of natural sweeteners like stevia and monk fruit. These technological improvements are making alternative sweeteners more appealing to both manufacturers and consumers. Enhanced stability, solubility, and sweetness intensity allow these sweeteners to be used in a wide range of products, ranging from beverages to baked goods.
      Consumer Trends and Preferences: Evolving consumer trends and preferences are playing a significant role in driving the alternative sweeteners market. The growing demand for clean-label products, which are healthier and free from artificial ingredients, is offering a favorable market outlook. Consumers are increasingly seeking natural and plant-based sweeteners, aligning with broader trends toward plant-based diets and veganism. Besides this, there is an increase in the demand for low-calorie and sugar-free alternatives that support weight management and overall wellness. Food and beverage companies are responding to these trends by innovating and expanding their product lines to include options sweetened with alternative sweeteners, thereby catering to changing tastes and health concerns of modern consumers.
