They, the world, has been hitting you with this message to be yourself. Ultimately, someone will fall in love with you for who you are and, with strong emphasis on, your personality. This person will see through your outer shell, either beautiful or plain, and become madly aroused by your inner charisma.
Steve once commented on how I look like Buddha when I sit due to my growing gut, eyes glowing with adoration. (I got quite angry...lol) However, now when I think about it, I use it as an excuse to engorge. That was April.It has been months since. After lunches and dinners filled with rich, cheesy, buttery goodness from the finest kitchens across the US, I am the biggest that I have been in YEARS. Every time I take that extra bite, serving, -and eventually- meal, I use the excuse he loves me anyways.
Tonight, I was sitting with my closest confidants. They tell me the truth. We laugh about it. But I know something has to be done. Owning 2 gym memberships and "exercising" at home by doing laundry via a Whirlpool is not going to bring me any closer to shape.
But I look at pics of me at the same time last year. I was -as my cousins say- juicilicious. Now, everytime I pass the mirror, I just see Bellylicious. He loves me. I love me. Being a bit over your normal waist size is not so bad. It gets bad when all you wear are drawstring pants to avoid confronting the adventures of your waist size.
Sunday, September 13, 2009, I will start my Southbeach phase 1. I ask that you keep up with my blog for the next two weeks to keep me accountable for my goals.
Why? Whats the fun twist?
I am going to try to create and cook Vietnamese/Asian recipes that will adapt the science of Southbeach to the traditions of the ricefields cuisine. :D
