Hello Little Ethiopian Child
I’m dieting. Though it started before 2006 rolled in, this is officially the first day that I haven’t cheated on it.
So, when my sister suggested we stop off at Wendy’s, I politely declined and told her about my diet, to which she responded with a genuine, “Why?”
“Because I’ve gained a lot of weight since I’ve been up here and I really don’t like it.” (This answer seems quite reasonable to me.)
“But you look healthy now.”
“Huh? What do you mean I look healthy now? I didn’t look healthy before?”
“Before, when you weighed less, you looked like I should feed you. I’m not trying to be funny, but I wanted to hand you a cheese burger and tell you to eat.”
And this is the same sister who, while we were up in Tahoe, off-handedly mentioned that my ass had grown to ginormous proportions.
Personally, I think this is just payback for me always calling her a starving Ethiopian child and asking is she needs some food. In my defense, she is twig thin and always has been.
In any event, I’m holding fast to my plans and will be working hard to shed those 20 pounds. But to be clear, I love my curves, just on a smaller scale.
I really just want to get back down to my original 9/10 pant size and if God really loves me, a 7/8.

I think you look fab (love the curves ;)) but I understand the need to want to lose those few pounds. You can do it! Ohhh and next time you are at Wendy’s just eat the taco salad. It’s not that bad fat wise.
I lost 45lbs but I still feel lumpy in my tummy lol But somethings will never go back to the way they were before
In all honesty I kind of cheated some would say. I lost my weight with no carbs and diet pillls. Now I need to learn to exercise more regularly!
Anyway, good luck
Hugs.

Awww, thank you Chrissie.
Thanks for the support. I know I can do it, I’m just being lazy about it LOL
I don’t consider diet pills and no carbs cheating. The only thing is, what happens when you go off the diet pills and start re-introducing carbs into your diet? Or are you going no-carbs permanently?
The Wendy’s Taco Salad is very yummy, however, I used to work at Wendy’s in high school; after my short stint there, I’ve decided I will probably never eat the chili, or anything that has the chili on it, ever again. It’s also the reason why I’m always extra nice to the cashiers.
