Fatty Fatty Boombalatty

Uggghhhh! That is exactly how I feel...fatty, fatty, boombalatty! We usually call our dog, Marlee, by that term because she is a fat dog. And I got the aka Baba Stink because of my enjoyment of food. I think I have been enjoying food and high calorie drinks (aka beer) a little bit too much lately...it's is finally starting to catch up with me. 

One time someone asked me how I kept off the pounds. I responded, "Anxiety. It's the best thing that has happened since dieting." I can be a nervous wreck at times, and when I have bouts of anxiety, I tend to lose weight. But I've got the anxiety under control, and I am feeling pretty good about life, so the lbs are coming back on.

Now, I know, realistically, that I am not fat...I am far from it. I know that I fall within the normal weight range for my age and height. I don't believe in weighing myself. I honestly believe one should feel comfortable in her skin, and a number on a scale doesn't necessarily reflect a person's shape or size or her feelings about her own body image. I refuse to be confined by a number. However, I do have a few pair of pants that allow me to judge how comfortable I am in my own skin. I wore a pair of pants to work today that were tugging on the button and feeling a little too snug on the waist. With this particular pair of pants, I know that means I am out of my comfort zone for feeling good in my skin. 

What must a girl do? Cut back on the fun beverages? Start eating good-for-you-food? Start exercising? Well, probably all of the above. I must admit that my diet has been terrible for the past few months. I definitely need to incorporate more fruits and veggies and less chips and bean dip into my diet. Also, I should start doing something to get the heart rate going. These are simple things to do, but it is hard to break habits. I enjoy being lazy and eating junky...that is what I have come to know over the past year. However, with my snug work pants taking me out of my comfort zone, I think it is time for me to get out of the lazy zone and do something about it!!! What do you think?

  1. How about we park at the far end of the parking lot at Oliver Twist. Do martinis have fewer calories than beer?
