Well, let me clarify. I in no way, shape or form think I am fat. I'm definitely happy though. And "Two pounds over the technical Weight Watchers life time goal mark and happy" Just wasn't as catchy, you know?
As mentioned before here, here, and here, I'm struggling a bit with maintaining my healthy weight. I fight with two to four pounds daily. The extra pounds win each day. Bully. So, how do you stop a bully? Ignore bully.
I hereby officially refuse to fight the pounds. I'll be good, don't get me wrong, I'm not signing off and going on a Holiday Binge or anything.
My problem is that I'm happy. I'm not complacent or anything, I'm grateful. Very grateful. And I find it necessary to know when you're happy, and know whether you need to get a pedicure or a therapy session. Or know when to hit the vodka. Who's with me!?
When I'm stressed, I guess I busy myself, and don't eat as much. But when I'm happy I cook and eat. Or maybe I cook and eat and that's what makes me happy. Hmmm. Whoa - that was deep.
Either way - happy + Leslie = laughs and eats. Period. So, I guess I'll just keep eating - it's a gift. And up the workout a bit. However, lifelesson number 483 - I've just discovered as a recovering athlete that the harder I workout, the more I raid the fridge. I crave starchy crazy high fat, high carb foods. I can't get enough. Life Lesson number 484 - I'm a RECOVERING ATHLETE - and I guess I don't HAVE to do my college workout. Perhaps I should do what works. When I lift and/or run, I gain weight. When I super power walk, I lose weight. That's hard for athletes to do - walk. Because we've been grilled to run, to hustle, get the effn ball or die. Walking's a new discovery for me. I'm going with it.
The other day, I was in the midst of a conversation with a lady about how thin people tend to be cold more often than heavier people. When I realized she was referring to me as thin, I was a bit shocked. And then I realized, the lady doesn't go with me and see my weight once a month. It's 2 pounds. I'm thin. I'm a walker. I'm happy. I'm goin with it.
That's how I roll.
Me! I am! (with you).
I am with you too!!!!
I'm sorry I can't hear you over the sound of my eating a huge piece of chocolate cake. You look smoking hot. Everyday, all day, ever since I have met you. Amen.
