Here's my third submission in the August/September Scavenger Hunt. This one is for the category "Ice Cream". This image is of the ice cream that's sitting in my freezer right now.

Yesterday I talked about losing my hair. Today's topic is losing weight, and the role that ice cream plays in that. In the early 1980's I weighed around 160 pounds and was running marathons. In the 1990's I discovered computers and have been chained to them ever since, watching my weight climb to a high of 228 pounds last year. Since the beginning of this year I've dropped to my current weight of 195, and I'm aiming for about 180 by early next year.

I don't exercise anymore (bad knee), and I'm not on any kind of formal diet (Atkins, Weight Watchers, etc.). I haven't changed the kinds of foods I eat. I've been losing weight very gradually by doing only one thing -- eating less. I used to go back for a second helping of supper, now I don't. I always used to have a piece or two of buttered toast with meals, but I only do that now on rare occasions. Eat less, weigh less.

How does ice cream figure into this? I still eat it, just less often, maybe once every couple of weeks.

I cropped the image, adjusted the levels, straightened it a little, sharpened it, reduced the size, then saved and uploaded it.

Effective composition! I like the contrast of the two sizes and colour schemes next to each other - simple, but effective.
