I have a friend in Cyberland who is a former co-worker of mine. Apparently he loves to cook and  bake and thus he often posts his daily menus and recipes. It seems they are having delightful carb-heavy rich meals, paired with fabulous wines, followed by home-baked, butter-laden goodies almost every night! So, my guess was that, once a picture of them was posted, was that I would see photographic evidence of their daily indulgence. Perhaps I was even HOPING for this.

No such luck - they are both average/normal sized.You would almost never guess they are extreme foodies.

Dammit!

I cook a great deal, too and despite my occasional forays into cookie baking, I worry over how often per week I can have a dessert item that is not a small carton of *lite* yogurt or a small apple.

My internist told me a few weeks ago: your metabolism sucks.

Yeah, no sh*it!

However, it is not quite stanky enough to warrant thyroid supplements so I will continue to yearn for creamy risottos, gourmet donuts, and fried goat cheese (paired with a fab red, natch) while I read his status updates.
