Sending Your Kids to the Lions Den

My last post was about my son being robbed and assaulted on his way home from school.  Since that post the kid who assaulted him has plead guilty to felony robbery and will be sentenced next week.  In the mean time he was placed in an alternative school but is still out running around doing [...]

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 ;)
