I Like Pie

In case you couldn't tell from my picture, I'm a big girl.It's not something I'm ashamed of. I come from a long line of german-anglo women, and native american women. Everyone in my family believes in food. We eat when we're sad, when we celebrate, we eat for holidays, special occasions, and not-so-special occasions. I've used my weight to call attention to an important cause, and thoroughly enjoy the attention my ample cleavage recieves when we go out.

But, this is the heaviest weight I've ever been at, and it's starting to reach unhealthy. I've got the genetics for diabetes, heart problems, stroke, you name it. Plus, I've got weak bones and stressed joints, and my weight is starting to it's toll on them.

So, someone on the forums is trying to group-motivate for weight loss. My goal is ten pounds by Christmas, but I'm not going to judge this by weight. I'm going to judge this by how I feel, and my goal is to be healthy, not skinny. Jen's joining in, too. We got groceries and vitamins tonight, and are really going to work for this.

While we were grocery shopping, we picked up stuff for Zillah's birthday. She now has a package with six birthday cards, Mardi Gras beads, a slinky, a green Rubber Duckie, balloon rockets, Star Trek Nemesis, and a happy birthday banner. The priority shipping box has been drawn on, colored, sprinkled with Happy Birthday Confetti, and laminated with clear packing tape.

Let's see her try and have a quarter-life crisis while she's laughing at us!!!
