Do we really have to talk about weight all the time? It seems to always be the first topic of conversation when we get together. Who has lost weight, what kind of workouts are you doing?, we should do this or that to lose weight.
I know it's just me and the way my mind thinks, but each time we talk about it I feel as though it's geared towards me. It's probably just because I'm extremely self-contious, you know being the biggest of the family - yet again. And I know many times I'm the first one to bring it up - mostly because I feel that if I don't you'll think that it's not something I want; to be thin. But frankly, I'm tired of this topic being the focal point in everything.
I'm tired of it consuming me. I'm tired of me thinking about it non-stop. I'm tired of crying over it. I'm tired of not being happy because of it. I'm tired of the looks when I see you all, knowing full well what you're thinking, seeing that each of you are losing weight and doing so awesome at it; working so hard and I'm proud of you for it!!
Maybe it's because I'm not feeling well today and a little extra emotional but really...I'm tired.
I'll keep working on it because that's what I need to do, but let's find other topics of conversation, please.

Amen Shannon!
I understand. I'm tired too.
Miss Shannon...you are beautiful just the way you are.
I agree, sis. Btw, when I was talking about the push-up contest, it wasn't geared toward you - not at all. I could tell you probably felt that way, but I absolutely didn't say it as a "you should really do this - or that". I'm sick of weight conversation too. Too many people are freaking obsessed with it. We need to focus on other things, for real. Weight is not numero uno in life!
Big girl you are beautiful! It's still my anthem, because I'll always be a big girl no matter what! And word to that, yo!
I TOTALLY AGREE!!! It is seriously disgusting how much we focus on it, right?
You are beautiful, inside and out. But I know how frustrating losing weight can be. Having this 'trail' of my crappy thyroid disorder sure has brought a whole new sense of the weight loss game to me. Having no control when you want to be in control really stinks!!!
Just sing some india.arie out loud...you'll feel better soon! ;)
