So yeah, I know, losing weight is good for my health, and I'll probably look better, but it's not all sunshine and rainbows.
I am committed to losing weight, but like any relationship, it has it's problems.
1) None of my clothes fit: This is great as a way to judge how my weight loss is affecting my body. Not so great because I don't have endless amounts of money to spend on new clothes. Instead, I just get to go around in baggy clothes lookin pretty sloppy...:(
2) Dessert and I had a bitter break-up: In order to be in a relationship with weight loss, I had to end things with dessert. He has since come around several times, begging for a chance to come back into my life. I am ashamed to admit I did have a small post-break-up fling...
3) The whole "Wow you look so good now!" compliment: So, umm, how bad did I look before? Cause you never said anything, and I thought we were friends.
4) Boys are suddenly interested (I know this seems like a good thing, but to my neurotic brain, it isn't) : What is it, exactly, about this particular 40 pounds that makes me so attractive? Cause I was skinnier than this in high school, and I never had this many boys flirting with me. I am the same person now that I was 40 pounds ago, so are you just interested in me cause my waist shrank but my booty and chest didn't? If so, I'm not trying to be in that kind of relationship.
5) Skinny people who think that my weight loss makes it ok for them to try and lose weight: Okay, just cause I lost some weight, doesn't mean I feel sorry for your little size-6-ass-that-used-to-be-a-4! I am still in the double digits when it comes to size, so as far as I am concerned, you look banging. (On the plus side, this makes me want to vomit, so maybe I can lose some weight that way*)
So you see, getting thinner is not always a good thing. Or at least, these are the excuses I use when that hot fudge sundae come strutting past, lookin all delicious, tryin to get me back. :)
* Kidding! Anorexia and Bulimia are serious problems and should never be used as a weight loss method!
