Oddity
Someone said something odd to me, at the beginning of last week. It probably means nothing, but it is something that I keep thinking about… It keeps popping into my head as I go through my day.
So anyway I’m on lunch with my usual lunch buddies at work, and one says that on her vacation that she is going to start jogging. Then she looks at me and says something about how I don’t have jogging shoes, and she knows how much I like to jog (I HATE jogging). I don’t recall saying anything about jogging to her, but I could have. It just seemed weird that she pointed out to me she didn’t think I had jogging shoes. (For the record, I do have sneakers or tennis shoes or whatever your region calls them… as a matter of fact I have them on right now.)
Almost like, “well you are happy being fat, but I’m not.” I had probably dropped 17 pounds by the time she said this to me. Weird… Maybe she has me confused with my room mate, who thinks dieting is a waste of time.
Speaking of the Room mate, someone on her team at work asked her if she would like to go on WW with them. My room mate said, “no, I can be fat for free.” Amusing as that is, I don’t think it is true, especially when I have to pay extra for larger clothes and all the extra food I’m going to eat…
As you get older, you also add on extra expense for medical complications like high blood pressure, diabetes, collapsed arches, etc…you’re really on the right track. Congrats on your 17 lb loss!
Some ppl don’t think before they talk, and surprisingly it’s hard to give complements to ppl when you they prove you wrong, even when they didn’t say their comments out loud. Don’t let it bother you too much dear; I’ve seen a few friends I haven’t seen nor mentioned to them that I’ve been exercising and they haven’t told me anything about my loss either. Just take that negative vibe and push yourself harder when you exercise and you make your food choices. You’re doing an AWESOME job, and don’t let anyone else tell you otherwise. Keep it up darlin…they’ll say something once you hit 25 lbs lost….
