Searching for A House

We’ve been looking for a larger house for a while now so while I was walking to the park with my daughter today I was really excited to see a beautiful old house for sale. It’s only a couple blocks from our place now, well made (over 100 years old) GORGEOUS!! So, when we are [...]

I Used To Be A Bitch . . .

Posted on16 Jul 2009

I used to be a bitch, a size snob.  I spent most of my life in a size 4 and watched my shape by starving and working out every single day.   I did some modeling and taught aerobics at Bally’s, never dreaming that I would ever be a part of the “can’t look at food or I’ll gain 10 lbs” crowd.  I always used to look at people that were overweight and think that 1) they ate too much crap and 2) they were couch potatoes.  I can’t even count how many times I told myself, “I’ll never let myself get like that”.  I was such a bitch.

Karma, Karma, Karma – what goes around comes around – I don’t know when it started, about 35 or 36, the pounds started creeping up on me and before I knew it I was heavier than I had ever been in my life.  So, I gave up my Starbucks – nothing.  Gave up my coffemate and sugar and switched to splenda and fat-free coffeemate – nothing.  Gave up my chocolate in bed after I get the kids to sleep – nothing.  What the hell was going on with my body?  I’d had three kids and bounced right back afterward, why was I having such a hard time?  Karma – I’m being paid back for all the mean thoughts I ever had about an overweight person.  Now I am stuck on a Nutrisystem diet and can’t eat any of my favorite foods.  I have to get up at 5 am to go to the gym every day.  If that isn’t bad enough, my husband is a toothpick, a swimmer, he could eat all day long and not gain a pound (asshole).  My punishement will be life long.   Don’t make the same mistake I made – don’t make fun of people, don’t criticize people and don’t say “that’ll never be me” or you’ll get fat too.

    One of the hazards of putting on a few years is putting on a few pounds. I have 35 I have to lose.

    OMG – is THAT what caused me to gain all this weight?! Okay, I take back all the things I ever said or thought about overweight people. Seriously, I think it could just be hormones. Pre-menopause and menopause are the pits! Not knowing your age it is hard to say but my pre-meno started in my mid 30′s. Progesterone cream helped me drop the “baby fat” around my middle and 15 pounds. I quit using it several months ago and guess what…yep, here it comes again! Worth looking into the hormone issue.

    Damn ! So the whole time I was cussing my younger sister for being a toothpick has come back to haunt me ! And even though I got myself back to a gym (it took me a year to find a gym that fit in with my work schedule!) – karma got back at me with a viral throat infection, flu and a taxi running over my foot which has left me hobbling around and with an ankle support .. even my gym trainer is fed up of the excuses of the last 5 weeks :(

    I better get those mean thoughts out of my head ASAP !!!

    I grew up as a (male) toothpick and always wanted to weigh more (yeah, the grass is always greener…). So I ended up putting on about a pound or so a year since I was 20.
    I was pretty smug about being able to eat anything and then burn it off with a 20 minute ride up the mountain. These days, that same 20 minutes does nothing for me. Nothing! Damn you, slowing metabolism…damn you!

    *shakes fist*

    one year ago I hit my goal weight through weight watchers, it is a chore everyday to keep this weight off…

    good luck with your diet plan, I am hopeful that you will be successful!

    Oddly enough, Karma pretty much did the same thing to me. I used to make fun of my younger brother because as kids, he was pretty heavy. Now, he’s the thin one and I have quite a bit of weight I should be working on losing.

    Karma comes, and with it, a vengeance.

    Age is the culprit here. Each decade or so you rack up the pounds. It just happens. It’s tough as heck to get the weight off too. I know…I’m looking at 60 and I’m 20 pounds overweight. Tough as heck to get off.

    Have a terrific day. :)

    Yepp, Karma’s a bitch.
    I haven’t been really mean,but usually I tended to think that overweight people just should watch their food and exercise more.
    In some cases that’s the deal,but many times it isn’t.
    Well, I have ten more kilos (of 20) to go.
    Thank goodness it still goes away without me doing some nasty food restrictions.

    Have a great day and watch your Karma ;)
