Chasing away Chubby

Been so long

Sorry I have been gone for so long.  

Things have been rough here. Remember when I said I thought that my fiance was cheating.  Well he was.  I caught him last Friday night out with the most disgusting, vile, gutter-slut, crack-whore.  I never understood why when he has an upstanding, hot, good, woman like me- why he wants to put his dick in the dirt????  Anyway, so I catch him riding around town with this whore in the car with him and I chase him down.  When I catch up with him he is in a parking lot putting her out.  She is so drunk she is hanging onto the  car.   I ask her if she is screwing my man and she indicates she is.  I told her she was a whore.  She gets all irate with me and comes around the car like she is going to kick my ass.  I tell her to back up or I am going to kick her ass.  She keeps coming. Stupid BF gets in between us and tries to stop the fight, but little miss skank reaches over him and grabs my shirt.  That’s when I hit her.  She was on something because I beat that girl like I have never hit anyone in my life  (This from a girl who used to fight back in her red-neck youth) and she never let go of my shirt.  She ripped my shirt almost completely off of me.  When the cops showed up she walks over to the cops-all beat up- I thought I was going to jail for sure.  Her eye was swollen and blue and she had a few cuts on her face.   The cop immediately puts her in hand cuffs- which tells you right there that she is a trouble maker and probably a crack head.  They didn’t even wait to hear why she was beat up.  Next he came and talked to me and i told him hat happened that she was with MY boyfriend and that she got out of the car and walked over and grabbed my shirt.  The cop said it was self defense and let me go.  The whole time I figured- there foes my teaching career.  No school system in the country would hire me with an assault charge on my record-all my work would have been for nothing.

So since that night I have seen BF almost everyday.  We took the kids to the IRL race Saturday, and to 6 flags on Sunday as we had originally planned.  And I succeeded in not screaming at  him on the way there or on the way home in front of the children. He has came out to the house most rest of the days of the week.  He took me out to eat last night.  The entire time all I can think of is that nasty girl on him.  He wants to work things out- but I don’t know if I can.  This is not his first time cheating.  I haven’t trusted him fully in years. 

But how do you walk away from someone who you have loved for 14 years.  He is so deeply ingrained in my life that I don’t know how to move on without him.  Then there is the kids to think about.  We would have to split them up, and he is a heavy drinker- I really don’t want him to have them alone.  No matter what type of stipulations that the court or me could put on him there is no guarantee he is not going to drink around them or have some of his freaky friends there with them and one of them might hurt my babies.

So what do I do? 

The one thing I am NOT going to do is fix this for him.  I am not going to rush in and try to make everything better like I did in the past.  This was his decision, this is all his fault, and HE is going to do the work to fix it and if he doesn’t then- it won’t get fixed.  I’m not making him promise to be faithful- he will have to figure out how to say the things that need to be said- and mean them on his own.  I ‘m just not gonna do it.

I know people who are reading this think that I am incredibly stupid. I’m not.  I have been stuck in this hell- in limbo for years. We have had some good times- hell I even believed that we were past all of this cheating stuff.  But I can’t figure out what to do.  How to walk away.  How to start a life all over again.  I don’t trust the courts to make the right decision with my kids.  And it is my job to protect them.  I have been raising them pretty much on my own for years.  I am their mother and their father.  I coach their T-ball and soccer games.  I taught them how to throw a baseball and how to play basketball. I took care of them when they were sick.  I am the one who is struggling to make their lives better.  So why should I have to give them up even for one night every other week?

There has been no exercise.  I have pretty much stopped running. I am going to go run today.  Food has been good.  I am on God’s plan now. And it works!  All I do is I pray to God every morning ( and all through the day) to help me eat less, and make better choices. I lost 6 pounds in 8 days!  The last week I have not lost any, but my focus has been off thanks to all the drama.  I just need to get back to God and make this work.  And you can eat whatever you want.  you just trust God and your body to tell you when you are full.  Then you stop eating.  It is too easy.  Of course you have to thank God for all your success, because it comes from him- I have no will power.

So that is all I have right now.  I missed you ladies.

 

Drama

It is sooooo nice outside.  A mild 70 degrees!!! At 10:41 in the morning!  I’m lovin it!

Didn’t get to post yesterday due to DRAMA. Yesterday morning i get a call at 4 AM from my Mom (who lives next door) saying someone knocked on her front door. When she got up and looked out no one was there but the dog took off running towards my house.  I got up looked out and saw nothing.  Turned the lights on in the house and went to the bathroom and turned them off and went to bed.  I laid there forever and couldn’t sleep.  I heard a loud Crash awhile later, but it sounded like it came from in the house, so I thought it was the cats knocking something over.  When I got up the next morning I open the door and what do I see… but the windshield of my car shattered!!

I mean shattered!  Some @$$hole picked up a huge landscaping rock (a half mile down the road- funny, since I run and walk so much I know who has the fancy rocks and who doesn’t) and went down our road throwing them at things.  They hit my sisters trash box, my car, my neighbors mailbox.  My windshield was busted all the way through.  But the rock didn’t go into the car, it bounced back onto my hood doing more damage to the hood.  There are tiny shards of glass all over the car.  I don’t know how I am going to get it all out.  The crappy part is I have to pay my deductible of $500 to get the hood fixed!!!  I am so mad.  I swear if I had caught the punks who did it I would have shot them.  I know that sounds awful.  But all of you know I am poor.  I work for everything I have.  I am raising 4 kids on my own, and that was my first brand new car ever.  Since I bought it someone backed into it in the grocery parking lot and left-busting the bumper and breaking the taillight (which I did not turn into my insurance because I did not want my insurance to go up.  I planned on fixing it myself eventually) and now this.  I don’t know if this will make it go up or not!  Probably! But there is no way I can afford a windshield!!  I had to turn it into the insurance. GRRRRRrrr!  I called the cops and they just filed a report.  There is next to no hope on catching who did it.  I put a huge poster on my car offering a reward if someone would turn in who did it.  I just hope if the punks come by that will be enough to scare them into not coming back.  I went on ebay and bought those mock video cameras and I am putting them up and the signs that say “You are being video taped”.  Maybe that will keep the freaks away.  I also am putting in motion detector lights so they will come on if someone comes in my yard or near my car.  Mom and Dad are thinking of moving my driveway away from the road and down the hill so no one can hit my car with something.  I am hoping that they will do it.  I know it willl cost them a couple hundred for the gravel but I think it is worth it.

I am keeping the landscaping rock.  I know it’s kinda stupid.  But I am putting it in my flower garden.  It is now my $500 rock.  LOL

I couldn’t sleep last night because of what happened.  It’s creepy thinking of people running around out here in the country and tearing up things.  I found the boys bb gun and put it by the door. I swear if I catch anyone out here I am going to load their behind up with bb’s.  I know it sounds “redneck”, but here in KY if someone is on your property stealing your stuff or damaging it, then you have a right to protect it- by shooting them.  The law won’t prosecute you for it. The person you shoot may sue you, but that is the chance I am willing to take.  The guy who does the conceal and carry gun classes tells people that if you are going to shoot an intruder-shoot to kill- that way they can’t sue you.  Good advice.

Well that’s enough on crime and punishment.

I am back on the wagon today.  My methods classes are over and so I am finally away from those binge-crazy-food-pushing ladies!  LOL  I miss them though!  They are alot of fun!  So I am going to workout, and then get some cleaning done to the house.  I followed Miss Mel’s advice and joined myfooddiary.com.  It’s $9 a month but so far I really like it.  I liked thedailyplate.com but I didn’t like how there were so many different, sometimes wildly different calorie counts for the same food.  Of course your gonna choose the one with the lowest calories!!  And that may not be accurate to what you are eating.  I am gonna give this whirl and hope it helps.  I have a new journal to keep in my purse.  My calorie king book is there also.  So I have no excuse for not sticking with it.

Goals for today…

Chop out garden some more.
Stick to meal plan.
Workout 60 mins
clean kitchen
laundry
dishes
clean livingroom
Keep a positive attitude!

That Jezebel Helen Mirren!

olebitty.jpg

Helen Mirren- Age 62.  She looks HOT!  However, according to Access Hollywood she doesn’t believe in exercise or dieting?!?!  Well she must believe in Plastic surgery!  Because I have never seen a 62 year old grandmother look like that in real life!  Really?  Do they really think everyone is that dumb to believe that they look like that naturally?  That they never lift a finger to keep their well defined abs! 

And now that I have that photo all blown up, (I first saw it on access hollywood and went to find it to post on here so I could bitch about #1 how unfair it is that a woman twice my age is so much hotter than me and #2 what a liar she is) something doesn’t look right.  It looks touched up. She looks pasted in, doesn’t she?  And look on her left shoulder how the guys elbow is on top of her shoulder.  Doesn’t look like a normal pic should. And where does the guys arm go??? His forearm seems to fade out blending into the scenery.  Now that’s not natural!!! I hope after I post this that you can still see it!  It just fades off right at his forearm.  The way his arm is positioned you should be able to see it but it just disappears.  Maybe he is Mr. invisisble.  :lol:  It’s suppose to be a papparazzi photo but who knows maybe they touched it up and her agents had it planted.   She is a beautiful woman, but no one looks like that without great genes, alot of sweat, hardly eating, and at that age probably some cosmetic surgery. 

I Know… I am being a bitch!

or a conspiracy theorist…

Whatever!

 I tried to post this morning but I couldn’t get it to paste in so here is my morning post.  I’ll give you the update at the end…

I woke up this morning to sunny skies and a beautiful day!  The high today is suppose to be 92!!!

I was another pound down this morning!  YIPEE! I did an excellent job yesterday.  I had 2 scrambled eggs and fruit for breakfast, no lunch- I wasn’t hungry, a Nature valley peanut bar for snack , and for dinner I thwarted my evil classmates by emailing them all and bringing a salad to share with every topping imaginable!  I ate 2 huge plates of salad in class and one of the girls brought a dessert bar, so I ate one of those.  Still a very productive day!  I didn’t get my workout in because I had to go to the grocery store to buy all the stuff for the salad.  I took DS16 to the library and dropped DS10 off at a friends house where he was “attacked” by their dog!!!

We walked in the door and I am talking to the kids Mom.  The boys have been friends since Pre-school and has stayed over there many times before.  She is holding on to this medium sized, BEAUTIFUL, dog.  He’s just looking at us, not barking, nothing, but she is holding on to his collar.  (Evidently he does not like men.) Well after a few minutes she lets go of his collar.  He walks over to my sons friend and them walks over to DS10 and just grabs him!!  No growling, no barking, nothing-just grabs his shirt.  The Mom grabs the dog and they drag him upstairs to her bedroom and lock him in.  I am thinking he just grabbed his shirt.  DS10 is uber-calm. Not crying nothing…not even scared.  (He gets that from me.) Then he lifts up his shirt and there are 2 tooth scrapes down his stomach that are bleeding.  It took several layers of skin off. It looked nasty but really wasn’t that bad of a wound. Superficial.  I was pretty calm.  The Mom was FREAKING out.  “I’m so sorry, if you need to take him to the hospital you can, he has all his rabies shots and things, I’ll show you the papers if you would like to see them. Blah, blah, blah…” She fixed DS10 up with some neosporin and a bandage. She apoligized repeatedly and said that they had no problem with him hating strange men since their kids were home alone in the afternoon, but if he was going to go after kids she was going to have to have a talk with her hubby about getting rid of him.  I am thinking DUHHHH!!!!  It is common knowledge that if a dog would attack a small animal (DS10’s friend told me it had killed a cat) or attack a person it will attack a child!!!  DS10 still wanted to stay and it was against my mothers instinct to let him, I wanted to take him and run- so I allowed him to stay.  I really just want him home.  I trust the Mom 100% and she said the dog was going outside and would not be allowed back into the house while DS10 was there.  I am still worried.  I can not wait until I can get him home!  Hindsight is 20/20 and I should have taken him back home with me.  I don’t know if he will be allowed back over there after this if they decide to keep the dog. UGH!  My thought is their son is getting older.  He will be 11 soon.  ALL his friends will be morphing into little men.  Will no one be allowed over because their dog is going to try to bite them?  And dogs like that are often unpredictable.  He may go after the family!!!  UGH!!!  I just want DS10 home!!

UPDATE:  DS10 made it home without being attacked by the dog again!  Thank God.  His bite mark is lookign better but is now bruised all around it.  My poor baby.  he just acts so non-chalant about the whole thing.  Getting irritated with the Family when they asked to see his dog bite.  He wants to keep his ripped bloody T-shirt to keep as a memento.  Boys are so gross!

Fat

Well I am frustrated.  My weight continues to climb and I seem powerless to do anything about it.  I have been more active but my eating hasn’t been the best.  I am in my last methods class now and I can not wait for it to be over.  Since methods started I have gained about 10 pounds!!  The reasons:  #1 I sit on my butt all the time doing homework.  I sit on my butt for 4 hours every night during class.  And the girls I am in class with bring food EVERY freaking NIGHT!  Food for everyone!  They share!  And when you are bored in a class for 4 hours, your instinct is to munch.  So I have munched myself up to a whopping 223 this morning!!!!  :( That’s only 5 pounds away from my starting weight!  I have to do something!!  My mind tells me to try to be conscientous about what I eat and get back on track starting Saturday (class ends Friday night) but I wish I had the time to focus on it now before abother pound is gained!  Grrrr!  I am soooooooo mad at myself!

:(

Happy 4th of July!

4th of July

It’s been a year ladies. A year since I started this last weight loss endeavor. Overall I would call it a success. I lost 27 pounds, gained all but 12 back. However, that is 12 less than what I weighed this time last year…so that is progress. This time last year I couldn’t run 20 feet. Now I can run 3 miles! That’s progress!  Last year I was riddled with fibromyalgia and arthritis pain.  Now I am almost completely pain free. That’s progress!  Last year my stomach problems were holding me as a hostage to food.  I literally was trying to eat the pain away!  Not anymore!  That’s progress! This year I plan on stepping it up. I have to make my fatbet goal!!! I am back to running and plan on my first 5K in September. The girls in my classes are going to do a half-marathon in May in celebration of graduating. I think most of them plan on walking it, but another girl and I will run it. The other girl is a super athlete, probably only weighs 115 pounds soak and wet, she was Miss Ky basketball in 2000, and she runs quite a bit. But that is okay I just hope that they all get moving so we can make it happen.

I am upset because I got up and the scale was up 4 pounds!!!! I have been pretty good food wise. I even logged my calories most days. I don’t understand where the 4 pounds is from! UGH! I am going to get through this holiday (Family cook-out tonight) and then tomorrow I am going back to one meal a day. That is the ONLY way I seem to be able to lose weight. Grrrr. Not happy about it though.

I have to go register for the PRAXIS 2. It is going to cost me well over $200 to take it, but I have to take it to be a teacher! :( It is costing me waaayyy too much money to get my degree so I can be a teacher and be one of the lowest paid degreed individuals in the nation. Which makes no sense because we are the most important!! Teachers make all other professions possible, people!! Then if this damnable rain ever stops I am going to go run. Today is suppose to be 1.5 miles but since i had 2 days off in a row i might do 2 miles and save the 1.5 miles for Sunday. Then I am dying my hair and getting myself all dolled up for the picnic tonight. My sis hosts this every year and I am a litte peeved because she didn’t invite my cousin. All she invited outside of the immediate family was her (not to sound like I am still in high school) preppy-@ss friends! I don’t know I think I am feeling insecure because Sis3 has been putting me down lately. It is really getting to me.  She is always talking about me like I am a bad mother!  Which I am not! (She has no kids btw, yet she thinks she is an expert) and the last 2 times I have been around her she has referred to me as “trashy.” She acts like she is joking but I definitely think that there is some underlying meanness there.  I am not trashy.  I don’t even want to go to her stupid picnic now.  :( Well ladies Have a fabulous Fourth! 

Progress

The theme for today is progress. 

I woke up this morning and went for a run.  I haven’t ran in probably 2 months.  I ran 2 miles. Further proof that running is 90% in your head.  If you think you can do it, you can.  I finished up and realized that I could have ran farther.  I could have ran to the end of the road bringing my total to 3 miles, but I decided that I didn’t want to overdo it.  Then I rode bikes with the kids for a few minutes…not long.  I kicked them all out of the house so they would have to do something besides stare at the TV screen playing games.  They need some sun and exercise.  While I was riding the bike I concentrated on holding in the ab muscles.  I could feel my quads working.  I loved the way it felt.  I realized then that I just have to love it.  I have to concentrate on the good feelings I get from working out and allow that to become my “addiction.” I need to embrace the good feelings and forget about any pain I feel while I am working out.  It was minimal today anyway.  I could feel myself wanting it.  Wanting to push myself farther, harder, faster.  I held back because I don’t want to injure myself.  I am a 216 pound woman with arthritis.  The Doc doesn’t mind my running, but I know that it is hard on the joints.  (However, I don’t have arthritis pain when I run regularly…weird???) I have to take care of myself.  But the craving is there.  I want it.  I want to be the person I am in my mind, strong, healthy, Hot!  LOL  I know I can do it.  I just have to keep the craving, keep the focus, make myself want it. 

Food yesterday was decent.  I am back on my one meal a day thing…sometimes 2 meals.  (Yesterday was 2 meals). I am just listening to my body, eating when it tells me too. Making better choices.  So far today I have been too busy to eat, and haven’t been hungry.  smile However, when the hunger hits I will eat. 

Weight this AM: 216.  I ate horribly this weekend so no doubt I am still up from that, plus TOM is still lingering.  Can’t wait til it is gone. 

Well ladies off to do homework and eat a healthy lunch. 

Sunday (Sorry, that’s all I got…)

Time sure does fly!

I meant to get back sooner, but things have been so crazy.  It was homework, homework, homework the week before last and FINALLY I get it done.  And I had a week off.  Well my week off flew by and now it’s Sunday night and I start my Social Studies methods course tomorrow!  :(  Today was worthless.  I woke up with a migraine, took an ultracet for it, went back to bed, woke up at 10:00 and still had it took another ultracet for it, got up, went home (I had spent the night at BF’s), and them my stomach started it s funny little thing that usually ends up with me in the ER.  (Which can not happen as I no longer have any health insurance). So I took half of a loratab.  It stopped the pain, but I overdosed myself on acetaminophen.  I kept trying to fall asleep and either I would have weird dreams and I would wake up or I would jerk myself awake, convincing myself I had stopped breathing!   :lol:   I kept breaking out in cold sweats and was dizzy a little.  My BF got back from fishing so we went over to my Mom’s house I laid down on the couch with my head in BF’s lap and told him to make sure I didn’t stop breathing and promptly went to sleep.  Woke up at about 5:00, no worse for the wear.  I am still tired though and will be hitting the sack soon.

My water heater sprung a leak…months ago.  We didn’t notice it til this past week when there was water in my bedroom carpet.  My BIL, who I rent from, had to come down and fix it- which was a 2 day job.  The reason we knew it had been leaking for months was it had rotted the floor out under where the water heater stood.  I used the shop-vac to suck up water out of the carpet all day yesterday.  Tomorrow I am going to shampoo the carpet.  I meant to do it today but couldn’t since I was laid up all day, it didn’t get done. 

I walked yesterday for 4.6 miles last night.  I guess I am going to have to go back to the nike dri-fit socks as my Danskins rubbed blisters on the bottom of my feet.  Grrr!

Tomorrow I am going to go to water aerobics if the weather allows.  I am back on my one-meal-a-day diet.  We’ll see how long it lasts this time.

The trouble a stupid hug-or lack of one- can cause.

All I wanted was a stupid hug.    Was that so much to ask?

I am really sick of my needs falling behind everyone elses.  Especially his!  He has become  so selfish, so greedy, lately.  Sucking money off of ME when I make a helluva lot less then him.  Only worrying about his own needs, not mine.  We only get a chance now to have sex once a week.  ONCE A WEEK!  You would think that he would at least think that since it was once a week he would make sure I was satisfied.  Nope, that’s not what happens.  He gets his and I’m left hanging, and he wonders why I get mad afterwards?   BECAUSE YOU FREAKING SELFISH ASSHOLE, I have needs too!!!  Like foreplay, yeah…foreplay would be really nice.  Or how about some romance, ever think that I would really like it if you treated me like you loved me instead of like some WHORE who is just there to fill your needs???  Yeah that would be so nice.  Even if only for a day, that would hold me for a good month I would say…I have learned not to ask for or expect much.  

I am just crushed.  Left hating myself because he is unable to think about someone besides himself. I am just sick of it.  Sick enough that I am ready to run.  That old instinct is back, my urge to run, to get as far away from him and everyone else as possible.  Just to take the day and go hike.  Just to take the day and do something different.  To hide, go somewhere where he can not find me.  Just get away.  The kids (all except DS16) are gone, swimming with their Nana.  I could go too, take off for the nearest state park and spend the day burning up under the blazing sun on some trail somewhere.  But I can’t I have TONS of homework to do, a house that needs cleaning, a tree to plant, a garden that needs weeding, laundry to do…Plus I don’t have any money and barely enough gas to get me to class tomorrow night.  I asked him for gas money and he put in $20.  5 gallons.  Boy that’ll get me far. Cheap asshole.

Ugh.

So I will sit in my fifthy house and make a swipe at cleaning it and try not to think about how he could have avoided all of this by just giving me one stupid hug before I left this morning, instead of ignoring my request and continue to hang up his stupid blue jeans that weren’t going to anywhere.  I was.

Asshole.

Back so quickly??

***This was suppose to have posted 2 nights ago after the “crazy” post, and for some reason, didn’t.  ***

I hate myself.

I am just going to have to come to terms that I can’t eat.

 I ate the SB thing I mentioned in my earlier post and now my stomach is bothering me.  I have had this problem the last few days.  I had been eating junk and it was making me sick at night.  So sick I vomited last night.  So sick that I swore to do better today and not eat anything bad or greasy. 

Now after eating something “good” I am sick again.  WTF??

I guess I am just going to have to stick with the one meal a day thing.  If I eat more than once the I am disgustingly sick, and I hate this feeling. 

I’d rather be hungry then feel this way.

I forgot to mention.  I did my CT scan back in May and it came out okay.  My lymphnodes had not gotten any bigger, but they were still swollen and inflamed.  I hate it cause I just feel like I am sitting around waiting to get lymphoma.  Isn’t there anything they can do? And if they are still inflamed and my stomach is still being stupid then I guess that means that whatever was wrong with my stomach last year is still wrong with it.  Last year I had a scope and it was red, irritated.  But there was no holes, no ulcers, no erosions.  It was just red.  They could not give me an explanation.   They could not tell me what I should do about it.  The surgeon said usually it means that you are taking something to cause it. 

Like what???

I quit drinking Pop 2 years ago.  I rarely take diet pills.  What could be doing it?

I’m gonna go pop a prilosec…just in case.

did I mention i have a cold??? In the

Tomorrow I am strictly back on water- no tea. Not that I think that is doing it, but I gotta do something.   And no night eating…only one meal a day.  If I eat more I will be sick. 

And frankly, for the first time…food isn’t worth feeling this way.

CRAAayZah, CrAyyyyzah, crazy for you baaaabehhhh!

LOL!  remember that song????  Gosh, I love Aerosmith!

Things have been…welll?  Crazy.  I did really well on my one meal-a-day diet, until the weekend and I slid off of it.  We went to the Zoo Saturday which made it impossible to just eat one meal, and then Sunday…I just had no willpower.  I realized why on monday when TOM arrived.  So this week has been trying to avoid one binge after another.  As Annie says “NOT CUTE!”  So today was not so bad.  I ate my first meal about 2:30 and was satisfied until I got home about 10:30 PM.  Then I was hungry (real huinger…not that fake wanna stuff something down my gullet shit that I fool myself with!)  so I ate a SB meal and 3 dove dark chocolates.  Hey!  I have been good.  Tom has been here all week and my chocolate consumption  has been- twice this week.  That’s counting my measly 3 pieces tonight.  I was still wanting to snack, but I was putting the groceries up and was pouring the new Wal-Mart brand generic Splenda in with the real splenda already in the canister and I thought…I wonder if it tastes the same?  So I dipped my finger in one and in the other, and there really isn’t much difference.  Splenda may have a sweeter aftertaste, but other than that no difference.  It was then that I realized.  I didn’t wanna eat anymore!!  Maybe tasting splenda will help stop cravings!?!  I will have to try this at a later time and let you ladies know. 

Classes have been crazy.  I have also been doing a great deal of reading.  I have been reading Karen Kingsbury.  She’s a contemporary christian author and she ROCKS.  Also I just finished a few books with chubby heroines that you ladies HAVE to read.  They are: Good in bed,  Certain Girls (by Jennifer Weiner), Night Swimming (By Robin Schwarz), and The Perfect Fit (By I can’t remember).  I haven’t finished the last one yet, as the Karen Kingsbury books have gotten in the way.  But Good in Bed and Night Swimming are AWESOME!!!   So check them out.

Ya know… I was looking in the mirror this morning…naked….and I noticed that if I could sut off my stomach, the rest of me wouldn’t be so bad.  i have that hideous apple shape.  Get rid of that and, I would be a little thick, but not so bad.  How can I get rid of my gut, any suggestions?

I started reading Intuitive Eating.  (Thanks Leeda).  I have only gotten a few chapters in, but I discovered I am the refuse -not unconscious eater.  Yep, I eat food not because I am hungry, but just because it is there. (DUH?!?)  So the ladies bringing food for the entire class every night?!?  Yeah, that shit is killing me.  So I emailed them all tonight and told them I am bringing my fresh fruit salad (Any fruit you choose thrown together and sweetened with Splenda).  That should keep my ass from eating the evil…but tasty crap they bring! 

Well I am off to bed, so I can get up early and go run/ walk.  I am really sick of being fat so I gotta do something to lose this.  I just have to get in the habit of a morning run or walk or something.  I want this, I have to get off my ass and get it.  God, knows if exercise was a zinger I would  have gotten off the couch, walked across the room,  and devoured it faster than I could type this!  :lol:  no more excuses!  It’s summer.  It’s beautiful and down right HOT (91 degrees today).  I need to do this.
