fat happens

And so do fat-centric blog posts. Once again I'm at the point where I'm not feeling okay with my size; not even a little bit ok. It's not so much a vanity issue, although I would like to be able to wear clothes from hot topic; but what's really kicking my ass is that I'm feeling tired and fat and out of control with the food. So, blogging and photoblogging about what I eat is back. On my "SECRET BLOG", haha.. like it's such a secret... I have started today. So. Go check out my morning tea photo. I should have made it prettier but it was early and I just wanted to drink it. In case someone sees this who hasn't been to my food blog, the url is http://karischewblog.blogspot.com/

And, here are a few reasons why I want to lose weight.

1) To boogie board.
2) To jetski.
3) To kyack.
4) To run on the beach with my golden retriever. (That I don't have yet.)
5) So I can wear blue camoflauge cargo pants. I know, it's war fashion, but dammit I want them anyway. I feel guilty, and I still lust after them.
6) So I can dress just like Jackie on Workout.
7) So I can fold myself up, knees to chest, and hug my knees.
8) So I can swing on a rope swing again, and drop into the lake.
9) So I can wear this swimsuit. Hahahah.. just kidding. If I ever looked like her, I'd think something went terribly wrong in my life.




and most of all,

10) So I can feel good, live a long and happy life, and never have to turn down an invitation to do something fun out of fear of not being able to do it, not being able to keep up, or not being able to keep my pants on my ass. :-o

Kari,

You have the self-will power to do this. Get yourself back into swimming. Think it has "I have to do this... it's my job". I'm so with you on this too.

Cindy

PS. When you look like her from workout, I might have to leave my gf. :-)

1. Just don't do it in the ocean.. there are SHARKS in the ocean.

2. Don't do it in the ocean (see the 'sharks' thing), drunk (too many reasons to mention), during a lightening storm (duh), or in Traverse Bay (too many rich folks who drive like idiots and want to sue you to get more rich).

3. Don't do it! You might get stuck upside-down or something horrible! Have you SEEN those things? They are like a death trap waiting to happen! I'm just SURE this is one of those things that LOOKS more fun than it is.

4. Running with a dog usually ends up with the dog trying to jump on you to make you stop running. Petting a dog is WAY more fun and that way you can get morning dog breath kisses.

5. Uhm... war fashion has a long and proud history, and I'm sure there has never been lust without guilt in the history of human kind.

6. The bigger question here might be... why would you want to?

7. You could always find someone else who wants to hug your knees?

8. Rope burn any one? Also, make sure the lake is deep enough and has no fish. You don't want to swim in fish pee water do you?

9. If anyone really looked like her I'd think something went terribly right in My life! However, I'm not sure that's really the right color for your skin tone.

10. ahhhhh but how will you know unless you try? Is embarrasment such a paralyzing force? What are you really afraid of?

How about:

11. Because you WANT to.

I'm thinking it's really the only reason you should DO anything. Including lose weight, get fit, live a life of joy, live within your ethical boundaries, pursue a dream, etc.

kari, I think you are fabulous just the way you are. I want you to live a long, happy and healthy life. And I'd like you to love yourself for who are you and to pursue the things you want to do, the things that bring you happiness. Big hugs, from you know who...
