Slap on a pretty sparkley and move that butt
That’s the advice I give to other peope when they sink into the fat n’ugly place so today I took my own advice. The scale is not going to tell me happy things when I get on it in the morning. It’s monthly fluctuations combined with a less than perfect diet - I let the scale have too much control over my mood. I stepped on this morning and it was up - so I had one of those f**ck it I’ll just be fat moments and I had a cheese burger and onion rings for dinner. Then I skipped the gym. Of course, that boosted my self esteem to, oh, gee, about gutter level?
Lucky for me, I have a close to one hour commute on the way home and was able to give myself a really good ass-chewing. I got home and put on my new shorts - they make my legs look like they go on forever. I acknowledged the fact that my thighs don’t rub together so much any more. I flexed my nana-wingless biceps. I reminded myself of my generally healthy food-choices. I reminded myself that my weight fluctuates by pounds per day - it’s the over all that matters. Those were my sparklies. Then I took action. I went for a two mile walk.
Then I came here. I know ya’ll get it. Thanks for being here.

The scale pisses me off too, I try to get on it once a week. I do understand!
Good job on the 2 miles!
U have done so well! The scale can be frustrating. I don’t have one..and don’t even know how much weight I’ve lost..but I know I am eating right, exercising, and losing inches. I used to be so obsessed with the scaled..weighing myself hourly. U have to take the scale lightly.
Love your kick butt attitude, Way to go on the walk. We don’t have to be ruled by that scale, and you are right, you eat healthy more than you do not. Keep up the hard work.
I LOVE YOUR BLOGS! So fun to read!. Yep walk it out mama’s!
I love the way you word things. It makes me think of my family in Mississippi.
Way to focus on the positive and get moving again! You are such an inspiration. I love that you and so many other here keep going, no matter how many times you stumble. Keep it up you are do great and all your sparkles prove it!!!
You made me think…. yeah, I really used to eat bad! If I had continued to abuse myself with food, and inactivity I can’t imagine what I’d be like today. Or even if I’d be alive. I can’t believe how much and what I used to eat. So if I do slip now and then I will not beat myself up or give up. I really have made a lot of progress, and I promise myself to remember that. Thanks.
