Who Told Them?

Alli

Biggest Loser

Runner's World

Abs Diet Online

Wellness Resourses

yes,

and they even told

Dr. Oz.

I want to know,

did someone send them a secret message?

Did they sign me up secretly?

Did they have an intervention that I missed?

Did they have secret meetings?

Who told all those people that I gained weight?

Because

they all know,

they are sending me messages hourly

telling me how to fix this.

For a minimal $29.95

and up

they will solve all of my weight issues.

It was a mere 10 months ago

(and 15 pounds ago)

that I reached

Lifetime Status

on Weight Watchers. 

How did this happen?

Oh, I tried to act like it wasn't happening,

summer came

and I wore stretchy capris,

fluffy tops

and

bigger earrings.

You do know that they say big earrings

take the emphasis off your hips.

I flouffed and fluffed my hair,

made sure that my face looked good

and

dug our those dangling sparkly earrings.

Then the weather cooled...

and I realized that those same jeans.

proudly purchased in the

glow of that

shiny, new

Weight Watchers Lifetime card

right next to the debit card in my wallet,

no longer fit.

NOT

EVEN

CLOSE!

So I pulled out the

"largest"

jeans in my closet

and wore them

and

hung them to dry

using the

"don't want to let them get short in the dryer"

excuse.

Fluffed the hair a little more

found those big hoop earrings

and

threw myself into

denial mode.

Then it happened,

you know

the catalyst

the

moment

when you can no longer deny it.

The Picture

Christmas Day

I was given a picture

Of JWS and I at a wedding.

The same wedding

that I could not fit into the

dress

that I bought for it

and

had to wear something stretchy

wedding.

And I realized

I am not just looking a little "healthy"

I am looking pretty pudgy.

Now,

the way I look at it

I have two choices,

1. Do something about it.

or

2. Find some hubcaps to use as earrings.

I think the picture hanging on the fridge

will be enough incentive!
