I doubt you will even check this post so far back, but in the event that you do, I am with you. 100% The line that hit was the "People would be shocked..." Because for a long time my husband has dealt with the same ups and downs with me, while I put on the "She can do anything and is so everything persona."

A few years back I had my "AHA" moment, realizing that I was not blessed with a good metabolism and that I would have to watch what I ate and exercise my whole life. Dang.<br /><br />Anyway, the past few years I have become somewhat of a gym rat. I love and crave that place (weird!). <br /><br />I don't know if it's the actual endorphins or that I get (up to) 2 hours of childcare daily allowing me to have my "me" time. It's probably both, and that's okay. The side-effect is being fit and healthy. No complaints here!<br /><br />Find a good gym - it's worth it to spend the extra $$ - I believe, if you use it. The one I go to is expensive, but the atmosphere is energetic and positive and there are enough offerings with classes and etc. that keep me engaged and excited to go. <br /><br />With a husband who works 60+ hours a week and then spends another 10+ hours in his church calling... getting my 1-2 hours at the gym every day preserves my sanity. FOR REAL. And it's way cheaper than drugs or therapy. And it also allows me to eat my chocolate guilt-free.<br /><br />Good luck!Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03322745447434381301noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3626435726269756106.post-32896454388070339222010-03-23T09:57:01.826-06:002010-03-23T09:57:01.826-06:00Thanks for this.

I know I'm sick of looking in the mirror and asking myself, "WHAT is it going to TAKE for you to change?!?" I'm sick of being fit but fat. I want to be fit and "dayum, she looks gooooood!"<br /><br />And Lisa? Have you ever eaten at Chipotle? It is not "just a burrito!" It is THE burrito. If you're anywhere near the SL area, call me, and I will introduce you to the wonders of the best guacamole on the planet.Sherisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04077800001759729270noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3626435726269756106.post-53947561590884035902010-03-23T09:32:42.100-06:002010-03-23T09:32:42.100-06:00High School Musical?

It sucks to be fat - whether it's a lot of fat or just a little - and it's almost always connected with what goes on in our heads. I know of what I speak. So, you ARE worth it. You CAN do it.

I would probably be best off not writing anything but that just wouldn't be my way. I have been overweight all my life (between 50 and 90 lbs). It has been enough to make me self conscious but it has never stopped me from being physical ie...joining the ARMY or a six hundred mile bike ride to Yellowstone. When I was young it seemed to me that this problem plagued just a few of us now it seems to be nearly everyone. Our culture is so sedentary that we have to take time from our lives to excersize (could you imagine one of our church pioneers taking time off from clearing ground for his crops to walk on a treadmill)? Back in the day physical labor would take care of all those unwanted pounds. Dont get me wrong I love our modern era and I would not trade it for any time previously but there are trade offs. I guess what I'm trying to say is that most of us (especially us over the age of thirty) are in the same boat and maybe their could be some comfort and support in that fact.rocslingerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02994789444228546949noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3626435726269756106.post-61973780783881260842010-03-22T22:32:42.017-06:002010-03-22T22:32:42.017-06:00I like you even more now that you have shared this...I like you even more now that you have shared this post with us all.

Good for you! <br /><br />What really depresses me about the weight struggle is that it seems like it will be forever, maybe it wouldn't be if I was a man and didn't have to gain 30 pounds to birth babies, but that is definitely an added complication for women.<br /><br />Anyway, good luck, you can do it!Racheyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16378583857215363832noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3626435726269756106.post-77551739172413174462010-03-22T21:13:17.980-06:002010-03-22T21:13:17.980-06:00Thanks.
