Becoming a Fat Bed Potato
Ok - so how did this happen?
I was very cute at one point in my life. I dressed well, ran
my own business, had real life friends and left my home
on occasion.
So now I've gained a HUGE amount of weight - I am no longer
cute - I wear very tight jeans, a jeans jacket a white blous and
run to the market every so often for food.
That's it. I either listen to political news, watch movies, or watch QVC. I
am becoming an old, fat lady who has turned into a potato shape.
This is not an attractive look - you know? I have to give this some
serious thought. I keep thinking I'm going to be young again - maybe
in another life but not in this one. So - time to get busy and at least
do my stair stepper every day for 30 minutes.
I will report on my progress :) I promise I will be
honest.
Thanks for being here. I used to write a lot - I need to do that more. It is very cathartic.

just means u like to relax :) just start taking Millie for a walk every day! u will drop the weight in no time! And im sure you are still beautiful and attractive lj!
LJ, here is the thing...we will never be young and the cute girl again. We have to have a new picture of what \"looking cute\" is, and we have to also incorporate that with health. I think sometimes when we get a little depressed, we give ourselves permission, or tell ourselves, not to care about much about us. And then we have the consequence to deal with. Not something we are unfamiliar with! And sometimes when life is really bugging me, I am very capable of putting up a wall of protection around me, literally.
This is just another form of medication. Okay, I know people say, \"Oh, I just didn\'t do much and there it is.\" But the truth is that we know it is happening, and then we wake up ready to face it one day, and we have created a project for ourselves. Want to be your best, want to be healthy, want to be the best you can be, and there you have it. It won\'t be hard and it won\'t be easy. It will be another journey, and it will be the same as you learn why and how to change it, hard, fun, amazing, interesting, and, most important, one day at a time, and be consistent. And you and Millie get out there!
Hi LJ....I have often found myself feeling alot like you have discribed here. I find it hard getting older, much to my surprise. I always admired older ones and the wisdon that they seem to have. Now I\'m there and seeing alot of changes...ones that I don\'t like...however, I see some that really enjoy their golden years...ones that seem to be happy with themselves....and have friends. Depression is hard also...sometimes professional help does help...also getting out and socializing with your friends. I reallize it isn\'t easy...but remember that you are beautiful inside and out....so many people would be happy to be able to have you as a friend and to keep in close company with you.....thinking about you... Love Ya, Linda Davis :)
