Ewe's Not Fat, Ewe's Fluffy!

I will never understand the fascination and satisfaction that some people have regarding other's weight.  When I was heavier I heard the occasional, "You're pretty, but you'd be gorgeous if you lost some of your weight. "  or "You can tell you haven't missed many meals."  and my personal favorite of "When you get your mind right about losing weight, then let me know. We CAN do this together!"  The last was always said by someone who weighed the equivalent of my right leg, and what do they mean by we?  Do they have a french mouse in their pocket?  Enough already!  We all have mirrors!  Do they really think we don't know what we look like?!

We are all beautiful.  Fat, thin, muscular, soft.   I thought Peer Pressure would be gone when high school and college was over, but that is simply not true.  To be honest, I hear more now than I ever did then.  I hate the stigma of "You're fat, because you are lazy.  You can do something about it if you just tried."  I can tell you right now, that it is simply not true.  I did the identical thing 10 months ago that I am doing now and I lost NOTHING!  I assume it had to do it with breastfeeding my son.  Regardless, something changed that enabled me to lose weight.  There are simply many factors that go into weight loss or weight gain for that matter.

I crack up by some of the excuses I hear from people who want to lose weight.  Instead of mocking their excuses, I'm thinking "Why are you worried what I or anyone else thinks?!"  I too am guilty of this very thing.  I shouldn't care that John Smith is staring at my back rolls (and yes, they do exist, I was convinced this was a SNIPE story until I looked into a full length mirror and fell down the rabbit hole)  I shouldn't be more appalled that a roll is shining while nursing, than the fact that my right tit is hanging out for God and everyone to see.  Yeah, you read that right, I'd rather my boobies be seen than my meat rings any day!  This is what society has turned us into.  I've had 3 kids in 6 years, I have earned the right to be voluptuous by golly. 

We all have that "friend" who is more than happy to point out any and all problem areas.  The "friend" who refuses to toss a compliment your way.  I don't know if it's because they themselves are miserable, or simply because they truly don't see a change in their eyes.  I used to think you needed to avoid these people at all costs while trying to lose weight, but now I think we should be around those naysayers.  If you can wring a compliment out of one of them, then hell, that should keep you going for a month!

In conclusion, all of you reading this are beautiful!  Anyone who says otherwise is full of shit. 

I'll leave you with some of my fave dieting quotes...

THOSE WHO GET TOO BIG FOR THEIR BRITCHES, WILL BE EXPOSED IN THE END.


THERE ARE TWO THINGS YOU SHOULD NEVER EAT BEFORE BREAKFAST: (LUNCH AND DINNER).


IT'S NOT THE MINUTES SPENT AT THE TABLE THAT PUT ON WEIGHT, IT'S THE SECONDS.


I WAS MEANT TO BE THIN... BUT GOD SEWED ME UP WRONG.
