Optical Illusions
Lately it seems that everyone around me is getting smaller. Do you think that is the fact? Or am I just getting bigger, making everyone else smaller? Hmmmm. I will have to muse on that a while!

Fat Girl Fantasies!
Being fat is not very fun, and yes, I have made the choices to get me here, and clearly, I am not that motivated to make "good" choices in the food and exercise department. So, when you fail, make jokes and you will feel better. So, here are some of my "fat girl fantasies" for you:
1-to be a size 16 (some of us reach for the stars, some of us are just reaching for another cookie!)
2-to not have to shop at Lane Giant.
3-one day maybe designers will realize that big girls DO NOT need BIG, floral prints and bright colors. One day someone will be "BRILLIANT" and continue normal clothing into bigger sizes. There will be no "women sizes". Instead, they will just extend the sizes of their "normal clothes". Wouldn't that just be dreamy? That would be much better than current thought---(let's find the most hideous prints and colors and make them into clothes for big girls!) Really, I know what is cute, and what looks good, they just don't have those styles and choices for the "big" girls. If you don't believe me, go check out the big girl section of the store.
4-cap sleeves are not so cute on the big girl. When you got big momma arms, they need a touch of coverage. Designers, please don't give us tiny, little girl arm sleeves ---- we are trying to be respectful of the general population and not require them to look at our arms! Help us on this one!
5-cameras would automatically make you look thin, no matter what angle you take the picture from! C'mon all you techies, can't you figure that one out yet?
5-In my fantasy world, my son would not ask me if I have a baby in my stomach. When I say no, he would not ask me why my stomach is so big. I would no longer have to answer, I am just fat, sorry to disappoint you, but---no baby. Some days I wish I was getting a fringe benefit from a big stomach---but no, I am done with the baby thing!
6-I would love to get in a bathing suit, go swimming, unrestrained, without feeling major self-consciousness. So, for now, my fantasy is that they would have an underground tunnel into one part of the pool, so you could just "show up" in the water, without the "big reveal". Maybe that way my kids could go swimming in a real pool once in a while!
7-I don't really love carnival rides, but it would be nice to not have to worry about being able to fit onto a ride or squashing your child as the ride pushes and pulls you from one side to the other. (Brownies and twinkies have been known to specifically help you deal with this concern!)
8-Could they not come up with a better term than morbid obesity to describe some of us? Seriously, morbid. There has got to be a better word. All the terms all just seem so negative---there has got to be a more kind, loving, sweet way to describe a growing US population! C'mon, they have done it for nearly all other groups, make us a cute little acronym or something. We all enjoy a little denial some days! Help us out on this one!
9-My last fantasy, is that this little, petite, girl that is trapped in my big fat momma body would be able to escape one day. Maybe not anytime soon. Some days she screams to come out louder than other days. What is great, is when you feed her, she shuts up!

More Failure
Well, let's just say that I haven't been doing well in that weight department----I think I am pretty close to the weight I started at! NOT SO GOOD! It is a rough journey for me---self inflicted by my poor decisions, but in this arena, I just really lack self-control. When I do succeed, I feel like it is SUCH a battle. I just don't have all the energy, time, and commitment to succeed in this goal currently----I am looking into some options that may be more realistic for me right now. We shall see----------
