NON-SENSE!!
On a very personal note--I'm 17 pounds from "ONEDURLAND". What's "onedurland" you ask?? It's the 100 pound mark. I can't even remember the last time I was in the 100 pounds area (seriously) and am excited and weirded-out.
I am Carrie, Big Mama, Fat Santa and Pippi Fatstockings to all who know me....weighing less than 100 pounds DOES NOT fit into those equations. Now, this might be self-deprecating, sure, but know what? I was big a long time, I'm not going to change overnight. Sure, I appreciate when someone says something to me-- I.E. "You look great! You must be proud! Etc." What I don't like is telling me that I'm not that girl anymore.
I am that girl, just a smaller version. If you can bring your neuroses to the table so can I. If I make the occasional (or every 5 minutes) joke about the fact that I literally just flew in from Canada with my bat wings....let me. I'm uncomfortable and I've always dealt with my "big ladiness" this way. I won't change overnight and don't expect the real world to either.
It's a no win situation really. I mean, When I was 460, I used to be PISSED that no one would open doors for me. NOW, EVERYONE AND THEIR MOM seem to have grown arms literally over night. And I'm still pissed. It's unfair and the world sucks, blah, blah, blah.
Anyway, I digress.
Summer note: I made a slushie last night and it was so good.
Crystal light strawberry drink mix
water
coconut extract
ice
1. Blend all the crap together and it's a slushie.
**I might or might have not pounded 2 of these beasts last night, whilst watching Quantum Leap. :)
