I sat at my son’s football game today with sweat pouring down my back.  As I baked in the summer sun, for some reason my mind took me back a couple of years to the day I remembered about my sister in law who wanted to lose weight.  She decided that if she wore a big oversized hoodie sweatshirt, even in the summer, that she would use so much energy sweating that she would lose weight.  I have seen a lot of things, but this one was a little more than I could handle.  My sister in law was a little overweight, I agree.  But using the sauna effect wearing a huge sweatshirt to lose weight? 

There are better ways, I’ve seen a lot of diets or exercises put to good use, and they seem to work out great.  I don’t know how long she did this diet idea, and honestly I can’t say that I noticed any changes in her weight.  I have to think that it didn’t work as well as she thought.  As I continued to drip sweat at this game, there was nothing more that I could think about than taking off my clothes, getting into a swimsuit and taking a nice dip in the pool.  Now that sounded like something I could go for.
