VERY INTERESTING ANALOGY

Postby Redhed028 » April 19th, 2006, 10:58 am

As many of you already know. I am leaving for a cruise with Smartipants on Sunday, however, I am flying out to Florida tomorrow to see my grandaughters !!!! CAN'T WAIT TILL THEY SEE THEY'RE NEW SEXY GRANDMA. :roll:

I packed this huge suitcase of all my new "smaller size" clothes and when I went to lift it off the bed it was too heavy to lift. My daughter said you better weigh it because if is expensive if it's over 50 lbs. I said to her, gee this must be more than 50, it's a TON!!!. So I decided to drag it over to my scale and lift it as best as I could and weigh it with me. (Hated to see the scale climbing to the big numbers, but I knew it was the tonnage of the luggage) so I got over that shock. In any case, the suitcase added approximately 32 pounds to my weight at which point it hit me!!!. I have lost 37 pounds. Do you mean I lugged that around with me and then some?? No wonder I couldn't walk or breathe.

After seeing how much I have actually lost, I have more incentive than ever to control myself on the cruise and for the rest of my life for that matter. I still have about 40 more to lose and now I know for sure that I want that next big suitcase off my body. :-P

PS: Planning to visit with my sister in Florida who I have not seen in a while but according to my nieces she is very obese and suffering with diabetes and hypertension so she will get the MEDIFAST lecture from me and maybe lose a few suitcases too!!!!! ;)


GOD BLESS MEDIFAST!!!!!!

Wow!! So, did you go shopping and buy more stuff to put in the suitcase to get your whole 50# worth?? Your daughter is right, it is expensive if it is overweight, so you might as well get what you paid for in your ticket. 50# of luggage freight!! Have so much fun. I have never been on a cruise, but I really want to go on one. Maybe later when I look good in a bathing suit again! :mrgreen:

Hi There,
I already told Smarti that my color has changed to green. (not my best color -- I do better with a light pink :mrgreen: ) You two have a great time on that cruise!! And, everytime you think about that suitcase it will remind you to not indulge tooooo much. We all know when we indulge we buldge :mrgreen:
