Must we??? I am only because Craig mentioned his weight to me so I feel honor bound to write this. I am at my before holidays weight, so that is good. That doesn't mean much, to be honest. I'm still huge.
Food has always been my crutch. I don't know why that is. I don't know if I have told this story before but here goes - I remember one time we were travelling (mom, dad, me and Jessica) and I was reading all the billboards and after a while of doing this my mom asked me if I noticed I was only reading the food billboards. Who would have known that my obsession with food back then would lead to this?
On our recent holiday I was reminded of this memory as I read billboards to Craig. I had to consciously force myself to read out gas prices and "Risque Cafe - truckers welcome". (Georgia, the land of pecans, peaches and porn).
The worst part of all of this is that while I can now comfortably wear my wedding ring again, there are no visible signs of loss. I am thinking of Avery's birthday coming up and all the family and friends that will be there and man does that freak me out. It is all on me, for sure. In my ramped up mind all I can think of is the conversations of the other guests on their way home. "Man, is she fat". Yes, yes, I am.
OK - pity party over.
Just for laughs - check out this blog http://dontevenreply.com. This guy goes onto Craig's list and Kijiji and responds to ads that are listed. You will laugh your head off. Craig was laughing so hard no sound was coming out.

I don't remember the billboard comment but if you say so. I read the food billboards too but I much prefer to read the casino direction billboards. There's a different poison for everyone. For me it's all of the above. The thing with the casino ones is that it's two for one. $4.95 prime rib Thursday-Sunday at Santa Ysabel casino. Ya think that doesn't make the trip worthwhile even if it is 50 miles out of your way. It's tough kiddo and we can only accomplish it ourselves although sometimes a little support goes a long way. We all have our uphill battles, it's the part of life that makes us stronger.
Love to all
