OK, so now I realize that my last post was a downer... sorry. Usually when I post, I write, edit, re-read, ect. That last part of my post just came out. That's not to say that I didn't feel that way... I did. But it's gone, and I meant what I said: I am VERY thankful for everyone and everything in my life. And by the way... couldn't you tell I was sensitive? I teared up over every comment:)
All you women out there will appreciate my honesty for this post...
I am sick and tired of being overweight. Has that changed anything? NOPE! Will I continue to munch on Cheeto's as I pass them out to my kids? Yes. Will I continue to to take 3 or 4 bites (ok, maybe 10) of mac n' cheese when I feed the girls dinner? Yes. Will I continue to add cheese to my lean cuisine to add flavor and eat carrots drowned in ranch to fill me up for lunch? Yes. Will I still make myself a mimosa when I get home? Absolutely! What I can do is exercise. I am surprised I even know how to spell that word! But seriously, I need to do something. Having two children 21 months apart ravished my body. Strictly dealing with numbers, I really only need/want to lose 20 pounds. And, to be perfectly honest, I weigh almost 20 pounds less than the day I found out I was pregnant with Abby - god I must have been REALLY fat and no one told me??!! Thanks! J.K. The problem is my tummy... does anyone know of any charities that offer lipo and a tummy tucks to poor working mothers who just want their body's back? Please nominate me if you do. Today is May 29 and the following is a current list of things I want to lose weight for:
1. June 14 - Ruby's birthday party - I don't want to overhear anyone asking if I am pregnant - the mimosa in my hand should be a DEAD give-away:)
2. June 22 - Stone Temple Pilots concert - just what I want to do, be around a bunch of skinny concert girls.
3. June 27-30 - Mexican cruise - I don't need to explain this one.
4. July 4 - just because every year this seems like a good goal point.
5. July 23 - Anthony's birthday - we will probably go to sushi with his friends that we only see about 2-3 times a year and I don't want them asking Anthony behind my back if I am pregnant. Again, the Saki shot and the Asahi should be a dead give-away.
6. Some time in August - Dave Mathews Concert - every girl there is skinny and cute (sans the old hippies). We go every year and the only time I wasn't fat was the year before I had Ruby and when I was pregnant with Abby - ok I was "fat", but I was pregnant.
That is just the short list. I am probably forgetting something, but whatever it is, I have room on my list for it.
P.S. I am not sad. I am happy. I am fat, but I am facing the reality and that is the first step in overcoming any problem, right? :))))))))))

I can't stop laughing! I need to be around you more often, you keep me very entertained! (in a good way!! - there is something about how your words translate! )
Oh my gosh! You cracked me up. We talk about those things on a daily basis and you posted it for everybody. Maybe I should do it and it will be an incentive to do something about it.
OMG!! I can't stop laughing! I love it. Maybe I should do a list too and we can all be in this together!
Best of luck! Let me know how it goes. I personally think there's something in food that makes me eat more. I also think somethings wrong with my car that everytime it sees a Taco Bell or McDonalds...it stops!
Jeana, your too funny. You are beautiful just the way you are. Remember all those skinny *** girls at the Dave Matthews concert probably haven't had 2 kids. Oh well. I know what you mean. Somethings happened to my stomach and thighs but I'm not going to try to attempt anything until after we have out third.
Good luck on your goals. I'm cheering you on.
Can I just cut and paste that onto my blog???
Too funny, Jeana, but I totally relate!
