I'm good enough, I'm smart enough, and gosh darnit, people like me!

Last night Sammi (my adorable three-year old) was following me down the stairs while hanging on my shirt and declared “Mommy, you big.”  I just smiled, she is too young to understand that sort of thing now.  Then this morning we were cuddling on the bed and she wanted to find my belly button.  Hell I can’t find it most the time (ok not really but with the two bellies it’s hard).  She commented about how hard it is to find.

When will she reach that age I am dreading?  One day her classmates will comment about me or others and poke fun and this saddens me.  Kids can be so cruel to anyone who is different.  Also, I love her current innocence where nothing physical (race, size etc) changes her judgment of someone.

Honestly Sammi will love me no matter what, but I don’t want her to suffer because of me ever.  I don’t want her to feel embarrassment about my size.  I also don’t want her to miss out on any opportunity because of my fitness ability.  This is why I push myself to take her to the zoo, the aquarium, swimming etc. 

Thank heavens I have a couple of years until she goes to school and until she can go on rides at amusement parks because I don’t want to watch from the sidelines.  I want to JOIN her in life’s niceties. 

And of course I’m doing this for me, but I can’t separate my family from this equation for they are my life!  These two adorable creatures certainly help me stay motivated!


 

TODAY’S PROGRESS:

B-protein shake, 1 zucchini muffin

S-100 calorie pack almonds, 1 cup green grapes

L-Chicken breast, mixed veggies (cooked), baby carrots, cauliflower, broccoli, ranch cup

S-Fiber one bar, cheese stick

D-Tacos (soft on whole wheat with 90% lean ground beef)

S-Green smoothie

Exercise- 20 minutes aerobics

Assessment:

Honestly I’m really amazed at myself.  Yes I complain like a bitch, but I’m still doing it!  It isn’t easy, but the phentermine is helping with the cravings and I’m starting to feel empowered and in control of my life.  I know I will make my dreams come true!

I have found the most amazing secret when it comes to what other freaking people say or how they treat or react to me. It is guaranteed to throw off 90% of people. I have tested this and done this myself so I KNOW it works and it is so simple!! All you have to do is smile at everyone--a genuine smile is all it takes. It is the most amazing thing ever to watch the affect. People don't know how to handle it, it unnerves them and they smile automatically back, they can't help it. It puzzles them and they can't make fun of you if you are nice. (That part is my theory anyway). I love it. It works especially on kids. If you treat them as nice, kind people they mostly are, and you talk to them like normal people, you will find that 90% of them won't make fun f you. Try it, it works.
