Yeah, you’ve heard that line before. It’s the title of a great John Mayer song. It’s also the title of my post. Deal. So as I decided, or am at least slowly coming to realize, maybe what*I* see in myself in regards to all this fatness and these weight issues is not what the rest [...]

I know, I’m behind in my Ten in 10 Weeks post (and the final one, no doubt!) I will get it up here–I’m shooting for today. I’ve got a new ten week plan to start, and I’ve no doubt you’re all on the edge of your seat for that LOL….

When My Mom Sees This Blog, I’m Gonna Be In So Much Trouble…
March 12th, 2010 · Comments Off · Just Thoughts, weight loss (again)
Actually, I probably won’t be in trouble so much as she’ll just consider me crazy (again). And most of my family will, too. See, they’re a quiet bunch–for the most part, anyway. Get us together at a hog roast or, as dad and his friend Dann thought in my mid-teenage years, at a square dance, [...]
I See You See Me…Or Do I?
March 10th, 2010 · 1 Comment · Just Thoughts, weight loss (again)
Since I’ve started examining myself and my thoughts about fat/being fat/living fat/calling myself the fat girl, I’ve had a couple of realizations. One, I’m a much more complex person than I knew. Two, writing about myself and putting it out into the public does motivate me to do what I say I’ll do (most times). [...]
Happiness and the Ho-(Hos)
March 8th, 2010 · Comments Off · FoodLife
I sometimes think I have this weight problem thing backwards. From what I’ve seen in the movies, on TV and in books, it seems to me that women are most prone to eating tubs of Ben & Jerry’s followed by a dozen Jolly Pirates following a breakup of a relationship, a bad job review, a [...]

Ten in 10 Weekly Update #9
March 8th, 2010 · Comments Off · Ten in 10 Challenge
One more week, huh? Not bad. All in all, a good experience, but with tweaks could be much better. Ah, well. That’s the point. Improve little by little to get where you’re going… This week had a little bit more depression in it again so I ended up losing via just not eating. But the [...]

No, Thanks. I’ll Keep the Bitterness And the Extra Weight.
March 5th, 2010 · Comments Off · Just Thoughts, weight loss (again)
So I got to thinking about all the anger and bitterness I still hold, to this day, toward Deirdre. I know, I should get over it since it started back in the days of cassette tapes and Farrah Fawcett hair flips. Mind you, this is about more than the bus trip and bullying. This girl [...]

The Lose It Plan
March 4th, 2010 · Comments Off · FoodLife
So, I’ve had this “plan” the last three days… When I got my iPod Touch at Christmas, I downloaded this nifty app called, “Lose It”. Yeah, a weight loss gizmo that works by you putting in your food and exercise for the day to keep track of where your mouth and ass have been. For [...]
The Dawning of the Age of Aquariass
March 3rd, 2010 · Comments Off · FoodLife, Just Thoughts, Uncategorized, weight loss (again)
Since I take a sort of sadistic-humorous pleasure in nicknaming myself “the fat girl”, (with help from dad, because that’s kind of been his pet name for me for a long time. It wasn’t created from maliciousness, it was a defense mechanism. He’s about 3 inches shorter than me, so I call him “shorty”. It [...]

Fat Girls Don’t Tell Tales
March 1st, 2010 · Comments Off · Just Thoughts
To continue the thought of the Skydive? Or Walk Around Naked? post, I’ve been reviewing times in life when being a fat girl has affected my desire to participate in life. There seems to have been a golden age of Beth that began circa 1986 and ended sometime around 1989, where, even with a higher [...]
