**Sometimes, Double is Bad**

My quest for a sculpted jawline is complete. Well, almost. Plus, my double chin is "single-ing" out too:) Believe me, skinny people get double chins too, okay? Sure, it's not as bad as the obese people's, but it's there. Gravity can be such a bitch sometimes. (Just imagine if gravity pushed instead of pulled, we'd have double foreheads. Eew. All of a sudden a double chin isn't as bad anymore.) BTW, I'm not that skinny, but somewhere between "very skinny" and "just nice."

I'm trying to eat less fattening foods, which is quite difficult here, considering the amount of oil they use, and practising some neck exercises (as ridiculous as it sounds, they do exist). I believe (power) yoga is helping too, and with the unanticipated comeback of the freakin' hot weather, I sweat SO MUCH more than ever. It feels like losing two cups (that's like 500ml) of water in just one session. So there, for those who do not believe that yoga actually causes sweating, because it does. My yoga mat, some sort of a breathable, synthetic rubber, always gets soaked through now. It's supposed to be waterproof, so either I'm sweating too much or it's not doing it's job.

Holding my head up seems to help too. I'm so much more aware of my posture now that I'm walking straighter. Sitting down is still a problem though. Argh. I'm digressing. Keeping the head up keeps the fat spread out. Just think of how it all gets compressed when looking down. Think of how disgusting it is, squeezing the fat together into a great, hideous mass that is the double chin. So, why not keep the head up? Extend that neck, smooth out the area under the chin.

There is a reason why God gave us only one chin. He knew that we'd look really ugly with two. It's kinda like having another pair of unkissable lips right below the normal lips. So gravity, why are you giving us another one? It's bad enough we gotta haul ourselves up the seemingly unending flight of stairs to church or class.
