I can't wait to be skinny.

May 23, 2015

I know, I know.  Its supposed to be about being healthy.  Its about lowering your risks of heart disease, and lung disease, and cancer, and all that stuff.  But God damnit, I want to be skinny!  And anyone on a weight loss journey is lying to you if they say different.  Will we get there?  Statistics say not all of us will.  That is sad.  This is my 2nd go-around, so I get it.  But I can't wait to do things that skinny people do.  The things skinny people take for granted.

Sit in ANY chair and feel comfortable.  Not hit people in the face with your butt when walking past them at the stadium or theater.  Go shopping online and have the clothes look on you the way they do in the picture.  Ride only semi uncomfortably in an airplane.  Go on ANY roller coaster.  Not be afraid of booth seats at restaurants.  Not wonder if people are staring at you because of your size when you walk into a room.  Not be made fun of at the gym.  Play sports with my kids without looking like an oaf.  Embarrass my children for reasons other than the size of my butt.  Not have people ask me where Honey Boo Boo is in the Bahamas. (yes, this happened.)  Wear tennis skirts or shorts instead of sweats when i go to play tennis.  Oh, yeah...play tennis for more than 5 minutes.  Allow my husband to buy clothes and lingerie for me.  

Yeah, I just want to be skinny.  Being here for a long time is part of it, but honestly I think the being skinnier thing is a little more important.  And that comes with the health thing so I think that is ok.
