Looking for my waist: Are You Losing Weight?

If you have been following my Looking for My Waist blog, then you know I am having just as much problems losing weight as the next person. I started out actually gaining weight before ever losing a pound, and then I had many excuses to not exercise. Well I am happy to announce that I have had a much better week. Not only have I lost a pound in the last week, but also I have lost many inches, and I am hearing those four words every dieter wants to hear: Are you losing weight? Outwardly I reply, “I’m trying”, … Continue reading →

Looking for My Waist… Seriously

Exercise… well, that’s … Continue reading →

In laws visiting (actually relocating locally): My in-laws have been here finalizing the details on their dream home, which are a few miles from our house. They are retiring and leaving New York. This week I lost some of my … Continue reading →

I’m Not Pregnant, I’m Fat

I assume when people see me they can tell I’m overweight. For this reason it blows me away when I get questioned about being pregnant. Do I really look pregnant? Can’t people tell the difference? I remember when I was very young I was at my grandma’s home. Her neighbor who was very heavy had just left for her house. I asked my grandma if the lady was pregnant. I remember her telling me she was so glad I asked then and not while the lady was standing there. She explained the lady was overweight and we should never ask … Continue reading →
