It is appropriate that I put a picture of my gut to put on the website. I definitely have a ring of fat there that encircles my middle, whether it is called love handles, inner-tube, whatever. If I grab it and squeeze it is about 3-4 inches of pure T fat. Fat must not be very imaginative. I overeat, my body processes and makes use of what it can and the extra says, "I will be fat and hang out right here."
I have read from authoritative sources that having this ring is unhealthy, especially in such proximity to major organs and can lead to some nasty health problems. I want it gone. However, so far with my weight loss, although there has been some reduction, the ring is still there. I have a sense that some day, the rest of my body will be thin and the ring will be hanging out, clinging to the end. And it burns, burns, burns.
