I’m 27, married, (to a crazy amazing guy) newly developed kayaking junky, and I’m fat. WHOA!!! Did you read that?! I said I’m fat. And I’m not talking about fat like those skinny girls that say “oh I’m so fat” nope, I’m 5 ft. and 207 lbs. INSANE! Here’s the thing, I’ve come to terms with my weight, is it healthy, no way! But for the moment am I better for it, absolutely! I started gaining weight in 2003, I topped the scales at 240 lbs. Oh the self loathing, and hate, and embarrassment! I was literally scared to go into a grocery store or convenient store to buy ANYTHING! I wanted to go on a diet, but if I went to go shopping I felt like people were looking in my basket at the veggies and healthy stuff and going “yea right” and if I was buying ice cream, breads and cookies…OH MY WORD, “no wonder she is fat!” But then I started to realize something, I’m one freaking hilarious chick! I learned this doing customer service for a company I worked for, no one can see you on the phone, they just judge you by the way you talk, and boy did I have them rolling! I’ve learned to embrace humor, I’ve also learned that if someone doesn’t like me because of my size, I’ll sit on them…no wait…just kidding! I don’t care; I am comfortable with my personality and who I am. I’ve learned to love me for who I am not what I am.
With all this being said, I’m not condoning a lifestyle of eating unhealthy and being overweight. It’s important to take care of your body…yes this is going to be another one of those blogs about someone’s journey to getting healthy. Hopefully my journey will keep you laughing though! Like right now, I totally have a dump cake in the oven, wait, I mean veggies? Haha. The thing is I always thought skinny people liked doing all the healthy stuff, and I thought, what the hell is wrong with me?! Why can’t I like that stuff?! Truth is…they don’t, they are just like you and me! So let’s get started on this journey, how about for the first part I’ll sit in the wagon and you pull me though ;)
