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.
