Please feel free to input your own answers to my questions. These are just situations that have happened to me some more recently then others and I just had to vent and share.

Why is it that when you are tell someone you are having a bad food day they tell you that tomorrow will be a better day or that you have to have willpower?

I don’t care about tomorrow I want to not have eaten whatever I ate, but in my mind I am thinking O.K. but it really doesn’t matter because you are big! And who the hell is Will because obviously he has a lot of power sorry I missed that memo!

Why is it that when you are at the gym getting ready to put your weight into the machine that all eyes are on you?
Mind your business, and try to guess it.

Why does it take so long to lose weight!!!
I mean really, it’s been 2 weeks one would think I would lose 20 pounds! If I can gain 3 pounds in a day I should be losing 21 pounds in 7 days. See the odds are against me already ugghh!!

Why is a thin person always trying to prove to people that they eat?
I don’t care! Eat the tuna tartar and keep it moving!

Why is it when you start an aerobics class at the gym the instructor comes over to you and say you can work out at your own pace?
Um hello I know this, did you really think that my big tail can get down like the rest of you let’s think about that….... NO!!!

Why is it that when you start something people want you to promise them that you will do this and that and try to hold you accountable or it?
I am an adult either I do it or don’t. Please don’t try to back me in a corner to do something I already said I will do.
(that is not directed at any one)

Why is it that when people see that I have a ring on my left hand they say oh your engaged?
No, I got this from my crackerjack box! Big girls need love too!

Why do we beat ourselves up when we do not work out, eat right, journal, etc.?
As I told my other teammates as much as I wish this was the Biggest Loser where the contestants are on the ranch with no real outside influence until a challenges comes along. This is the real world of weight loss outside distractions, your enemies trying to keep you fat, working out when you can fit it in, office parties, bbq’s, carb’s, family. Stuff happens and anyone who has lost weight and said they never had slip up days are lying because it happens we just need to dust ourselves off and keep it going forward instead of backwards.

Why is it that I am in a rut! I am have been at the same weight for the pass week!!! I want to see 219!!!

Why is it that I have to do 2 more weeks or SB!!???
Because I did not give it my all and I told myself I would. So now I am going to reset my system to be free of carbs!

Why is that people think fat, overweight, obese, unhealthy, whatever you want to call yourself people are either happy or angry because “we are either mad at the world or trying to prove we like how we are?”
O.K. 1- If someone is this way oh well if you can’t be you find new friends, if you like what you are doing then cheers to you! I am an easy going happy person until you mess with me then I’m not! and I do not like my body but this is what it has been for the pass for years and I have been trying to change it. I say love me or leave me!

Do you feel that there is an underlying reason why you eat?
Yes, I have figured that out about myself. So I have to face my demons before I can push on! I also realized that it’s comfort I am with someone who has seen me at 145 and 238. And he still loves me.

All in all folks I feel that I am doing the best that I can and yes I know I can do better but it takes 6 weeks to kick a habit. I/We are only on week 2. Cheer for us don’t criticize us! We do it enough to ourselves outside input isn’t helpful just harmful! (Harmful because we will eat.)

Happy Easter! Until next time.
