Not Rocket Science
For some reason, I had some weird desire to watch “My 600 Pound Life” the other day. They were having a marathon or something, so I watched a number of episodes. During one of them, the man said something about losing weight being hard. He didn’t say it due to exercise, but due to not …
Going for It
I’ve been bemoaning the fact that I didn’t think Camp NaNo was right for my family. The entire time, I’ve been secretly wondering if I might just set a goal to blog every day. I even more secretly plotted to blog a lot one day (a number of blogs) and just set them to post on …
Deaf
I feel like such a jerk! I’m fat. **gasp!!** What?! Say it ain’t so! Yes, it’s true. I’m fat and I can admit it. My then-husband was sure to tell me often exactly how fat and unattractive I am. Obviously, his words left scars. Massive scars which I worry will never heal. If the man …
Bra
I hate bra shopping. It’s worse than jeans shopping. Seriously! I’d rather wash dishes than go bra shopping! First off, you have to go through the process of bra shopping. What a painful process! The first step is admitting that it’s time to look for a new bra. That means change. Yuck! And then you …
Three Hours
I recently read an article which said that successful people get up three hours before they’re due to be at work. Being a morning person, that just seems to make sense for my life. Sure, it means I need to get to bed a bit earlier than my normal old-biddy hour, but that too makes sense …
Onward and Upward
I’m done with the negativity. I want to apologize to you for putting that out there. I was sitting on my emotions for a while, but it was only hurting me. Pounding them out on my keyboard seemed to help me feel better (I always have felt better after getting my feelings down on paper). …
Approaching Deadline
It’s looming – the deadline for the start of NaNoWriMo. And I still haven’t decided whether or not I want to do it. I know, I know – I can start at any time. But, life is so busy right now that if I do it, I want to give myself every single day that …
They Accept Me!
So, I’m fat. I’m 120 pounds overweight. Technically, I’m morbidly obese. I’ve been told I don’t look as heavy as I am, but I am still quite fat. I try to live a normal life, but it does hinder me somewhat. Amusement park rides and movie theaters aren’t suited for someone who is an extra …
I Accidentally Made It!
A couple of weeks ago, I asked a co-worker if he knew a good hiking trail. I mentioned that the elevation gain should be slight, since this would be our first hike of the season, and we hadn’t exercised in a while (ie – I really preferred to NOT have a heart attack half way up …
Another Fresh Start
For the last 3 years, I’ve worked two or three jobs almost at all times. I’m exhausted! For the month of May, I will have 2 jobs, but only work one of them and only part-time. I’m so blinkin’ excited! I could work my second job, but truthfully I’d rather have the time than the …
