Jo, I hope you are making threw Tax season-Just wanted to let you know I'm thanking of you. :bighug:

Thanks, Laura. I'm glad to see you back to beat this.

Today's observation:
When I walk into a room, I always size it up. I want to know where I fit in size wise. I have always done this and of course for much of my life I was the fattest person in the room so it wasn't very hard to do the math. Well now, the habit continues with different results. Although I'm no skinny mini, I am most always the smallest person in the room.

I've also noticed that I'm seeing through different eyes. The people who I used to admire for staying thin are really somewhat overweight. Most of the people I know are overweight. It's almost like they got bigger as I got smaller. I wonder how that works. How do my eyes see the world so differently, now?

Don't worry bebes, I'm not going all philosophical on ya. :nana:

Now that I've gotten over my hysterics I wanted to comment. It's like wearing a new pair of glasses. I remember when I was thin and in a dress that revealed my arms and shoulders and one girl was giving me an EVIL look. I asked my friend why, and she said "Because you look better than she does." It just blew my mind. Back then I didn't size up rooms for thinness but for prettiness and best outfit. Yes, I am that vain. I never hated anyone else for being cute. Then I got fat. I still never hated anyone for being cute but I noticed that I was no longer cute unless I was drunk in a bar and it was near closing time. I was becoming invisible so I just got louder. I hope that when I am thin again this time, I cut people some slack. I was merciless. I didn't hate fat, I hated ugly and I don't know who ever told me I was the prettiest girl in the room but I thought I was and I lost it. POOF!

I don't size up for thinness either. I am a snob and will size up the room based on whether the others have as nice a purse or sunglasses as I do. I can be 200 pounds more than I am now and feel good knowing I have the best stuff.

I am the same way, even if people don't know I have on a certain watch I do! WE are terrible!

135 Today.

I've been doing th 5&1 all week because I haven't had time to plan meals and snacks. It's a good thing, because I've been so sedentary that my weight has been creeping up just a bit.

I just joined a walk to run program at the Y. A bunch of my friends are doing it and at the end we're going to enter a 3 mile race. Of course, I don't plan on EVER being able to run 3 miles, but I can walk run it now. It's funny. I had every intention of NOT joining it, but one of my sly friends had the leader call me. When I realized who it was and what she wanted, my mind said NO, but my voice said YES! I don't know what took control of me at that second, but now, I'm committed......already dreading the first workout. Have I told you? Exercise isn't my favorit activity. I don't like to sweat and I really don't like to be sore!

Jo, you may love exercise at your current weight. I use to run when I was thin and loved the feeling (once I got over the initial sucking air to breathe weeks

). Exercising when heavy is not at all comparable to exercising when trim......in my opinion/experience that is. I also loved doing aerobics with a group of friends, exercising while chatting and laughing with friends makes the time go by so fast and adds a lot more enjoyment to any activity. Go for it!!!

I hope you'll find that you love doing it.

ya know, they may even have t-shirts for the race. Then you can wear it as a badge of honor
