The fat lady ski's!

Jan 01, 2009

We had a nice trip to Utah, where the snow is terrific! I was itching to join in on the fun too. I have had knee surgery and have had knee pain in the past, but oh, I wanted to go down a hill. My darling husband said it was ok with him, but if I got hurt and couldn't take care of the family, he would be pretty mad at me. He made some sly references to my weight as a reason I shouldn't ski. That almost made me want to do it even more. Boy am I stubborn!

So, I did go skiing, with a private instructor for the day so that I wouldn't get in over my head. We stayed mostly on the bunny slopes, and yes, my knee felt tweaked after I skied. Nothing major that won't go away over some time. I did it! Yahoo!! No major injury, and I didn't hurt myself. I felt almost like my husband, who really does have my best interests at heart, was almost discriminating against me because, well, I am fat. I was sore at the end of the day, but I felt really proud of myself for doing something that was challenging and not letting my fat keep me from doing it.
