One of “Those” Numbers

January 9, 2012

Monday morning I stepped on the scale and saw one of “those” numbers. You know, the ones you never thought you’d see there. One of those awful close to another one of “those” numbers that you are determined to NEVER weigh. I saw one and it jerked me to reality.

I have never been considered pretty. I’m rather plain and I kind of like it that way. There is nothing I can do about what the world considers physical beauty. But there sure is plenty I can do about not being plump or fat or overweight or morbidly obese whatever people are using to describe those extra pounds around my middle. I don’t want to be stick thin like the models on the runway. They actually make me boiling mad when I see them. When will fashion designers realize that a woman is NOT SUPPOSED to look like that and start to design for a real woman with curves? So I am resolving to lose 30 pounds this year by a healthy diet and more exercise because .1 pound is too close to one of “those” numbers. I’ll let you know how this journey goes. I’ll begin by telling you I got 2 Salads and 2 Vegetables in on my New Year’s Resolutions this last week. Walking unfortunately lost the race at 0. So this week begins a new week and new numbers to shoot for each day.

Now another quote from the movie I mentioned last week:

Female Character: [after they have set all the clocks forward  in a shop to strike noon at the same time] Thirty-seven seconds. Now we wait.
Main Character: No. We Breathe. We Pulse. We Regenerate. Our hearts beat. Our minds create. Our souls ingest. Thirty-seven seconds, well used, is a lifetime.

How true! Now has anyone guessed what the movie is yet?
