Y'all, I'm such a ****ing fat-ass.  I want to go with my friends in the singles group to a cowboy bar, but I can't fit into any of my Rockies.  I can pull them up all the way to my waist, but I can't zip them   No matter how hard I suck in my gut, the zipper just won't go up. 

I DON'T EAT THAT MUCH!  I don't snack between meals, I rarely eat desserts, I only drink calorie-free drinks (except for occassional trips to Starbucks, but that only happens maybe once or twice a month), I've been trying to stay away from fried foods but I still slip up at times.  I suck... I'm such a fat-ass.  I can't fit into any of my Rockies, so I don't know what I'm going to wear now.  None of my cute cowgirl jeans fit anymore.

I don't know if I even want to go anywhere now.

Once I got them zipped, I was fine... luckily, my blouse billowed out a little naturally, so it didn't look like I had this massive bulge of fat hanging over the waistline.  I hate it when women wear super-tight lowrider jeans with the ring of lard looming over their belt.  Even skinny chicks do this.

Y'all should be proud of me today... I took my usual 3-mile walk today, but I jogged 1 mile of it!  I'm trying to infuse a little more activity into my life every day, push myself just a little more every time.  Eventually I want to have the endurance to jog a whole 3 miles without stopping.  That would be great!  But it might take me awhile.

ROTFLMAO!

My mom used to fry bologna too.

My mom fed us really, really bad stuff growing up.  Lots of lunch meat sandwiches with Miracle Whip and cheese, Spam, canned vegetables prepared with lots and lots of butter, tons of starches, sugary sodas and Kool-Aid out the yin-yang.  We also ate a lot of chocolate, cakes and pies.  I can count on both hands the number of times we had fresh fruit in the house, and all of those times were around Christmas (oranges in our stockings).  Oddly enough, my brother and I were both skinny, but that was because we were always outside riding bikes, running, etc.  We were extremely active as children.  However, once we reached puberty and didn't go out as much, the weight crept on FAST.

My parents still eat this way, even though they say they're trying to change.  They're not trying very hard though.

Am I the only one that was fed when I was young with fish , rice and veggies ????

Sometimes we had roasted lamb  with mint jelly , mashed whipped potatoes with savory, thym , rosemary it was really good !

Sometimes we had turkey ...with wild - brown  - white rices mixed together

We had for dessert = my favorite ( my mom was a queen making the best in the west of cheese cake with cherries  )

My mom permitted me to have wine at table 1 glass at 14 years of age

My parents really didn't know any better.  We rarely ate vegetables, unless they were from a can and covered with butter.  And even then, they were the starchy kind - a lot of corn, lima beans and peas.  I don't think I ever ate broccoli as a child.  I think we had brussels sprouts one time.

Sometimes we'd eat "taco salad", which was really just a bunch of iceberg lettuce with Doritos chips, hamburger and tomato sauce dumped on top, along with cucumber, tomato and cheese.  Oh, and those little french-fried onion things.  It was mostly chips, cheese and meat.

My mom gave us white bread smothered in butter, with sugar sprinkled on top.  We ate this for a snack.  Also, hot dogs (raw!), slices of cheese and cookies.  We drank so much soda it was unbelievable... sometimes 7 or 8 cans a day, in the summer.  Lots of ice cream and pizza.  We had donuts or sugary cereals for breakfast, with whole milk.

Damn.  Looking back on it, our diets really sucked ass.  Even at school, I drank chocolate milk every day and our lunchroom meals consisted of hamburgers, pizza and chili.  It's a miracle I was not more than a little chubby as I got older.
