My Fat Ass
Grrrr! Stepped on the scale this morning: Same old. How depressing! I’ve been trying to lose weight but nothing on me wants to leave. I’ve been going to the gym on my lunch breaks 4-5 times per week, I’ve been drinking lots of water, eating breakfast, fruits and vegetables, I’ve been bringing lunch to work from home but nothing seems to be working. Now, granted, I haven’t been perfect. I’ve eaten some unhealthy food here and there after work, so from the beginning of my day until 4:30, I’m doing really good. After that it’s iffy. But I would think that getting in a good hard sweat at the gym would mean something!!! I feel like I’m just wasting my time at the gym!
Man, I thought it would be so much easier than this. Earlier this year I bought a pair of jeans at The Gap that were a ‘tad snug’ but I thought, “Hey, I’ve already decided I’m going to start going to the gym. By June these babies will slide right on.” I think I’ve gained 5 pounds since then. Big mistake! I can barely do the top button up and they’re dreadfully uncomfortable.
Man I’m depressed. In the last year I’ve slowly watched myself gain back close to all of the weight I had lost the year before that. Most of my shirts are now too tight even my signature blue sport coat is getting tight around the middle. It’s like I’ve inherited someone else’s wardrobe. I’m waiting for Ashton Kutcher to jump out of a bush and say “You got punk’d!” Then show me how my scale is rigged and they found all of my clothes in smaller sizes and replaced them with the ones in my closet. But I know that won’t happen, I can tell I’m fatter than I was a year ago.
Well, I know going the gym is good for me, so I’ll keep doing that but getting my fat ass in shape seems to be a hopeless cause. Anyway, I’ve done enough complaining for one blog, maybe two.

Big Mama knows the feeling..and man it gets tougher the older you get like me. Sometimes I need some heavenly help with the decision making but then He leaves the rest up to me. Be patient, it probably took a few months to come on so don't expect it to come off in two weeks.
What is your new community of friends all about? I just see a change in your choice of words lately...ass and beer.
Sent from your angel........
My community of friends are a group from Church. Who are you people?
Big Mama is your friend, too. I care. Does your community of friends at your church STFU, ass and beer it?
No. They're all good little Christians who, when a beer commercial comes on the TV, turn their heads and press "Mute" on the remote. *sarcasm*
My community of friends love, forgive and don't judge. They are authentic Christian people.
If Big Mama and Angel is mom - some advice:
If you want to be let into someone's life you have to accept what is there. If any openning is met with judgement and critisim, the door will close.
We have good days, we have bad days. The fact that we can be open about it with eachother and help eachother through it is important. I don't want to give that up, but I also don't want to feel constantly judged.
I didn't think you would be able to find the blog after you saw me reading it. If I did, I would have warned Travis.
However, having a public blog is always a risk. You never know who might be reading it. That is what we all signed up for when we decided to blog. Now we must decide if the risk is worth it...
The fat ass issue is one I very much relate to. I have many theoies as to what works and what doesn't and why not. I have not been able to loose any weight in 14 years. What the scale says is not so important but if your clothes don't fit and you don't feel good, that is important. power to the people! feel good about you and don't let others tell you what you should look like. I support you man! Even when you use words like Ass and Beer!
Peace out.
Angels protect us don't they, it seems to me these days the kind of protection we need is love and support, and encouragement. When someone has poured their heart out in struggle with how they feel about their body, I think an Angel would reach out in love and support, not judgement.
Beer is a beverage, not a swear word. Ass may be crude, but only if we are using it to describe another person,...not our own butt.
