I have rudely been slacking on my blog posting.
Pretty wild... when I was working-I blogged everyday-and that was when I was on the radio-now-I hardly have time to brush my teeth!
I guess cause what I'm doing..or trying to do now... is a heck of a lot more work. And totally different work.
So tonite.hubby is out with his guy friends... Mario and Luigi. (Ok thats what I call them.)
I went to the neighbors for 3 seconds after I put B. down. (DISCLAIMER: My neighbor's house is 10 feet from mine. It was OK.) She was having a little party for this woman who designs clothes down the street.
I walked in-and joined the conversation..one of the mom's there was saying she was doing weight watchers...and had steamed broccolli with molly mic butter on it.
Um. Good for her!
She's stinking crazy skinny now anyway.
If you know me.. you KNOW I have absolutely HORRIBLE self esteem issues... I've had them my whole life-but right now is the worst.
I lost a rediculous amount of weight in 2000... and kept it ALL OFF till the DAY I found out I was pregnant.
In other words... I ate the house-and everything in it. I was told 'oh-you deserve it-just breastfeed-it's drop off'.
Where are those bitches that told me that now????
SKINNY... cause it WORKED for them.
Me? Not so much.
Yeah. I'm FAR from where I was before. I mean FAR.
Anyway... I'm giving you the long long long story. Sorry.
So my friend has this amazing blog that I follow.
She had the best post ever....

mone would say something like "You no longer are a 20-year-old professional dancer who exercises all the time and barely eats. And you had three kids. You're finally healthy. So get over yourself, you still look darn good!"
No time to brush teeth, I totally know what you mean.
LOL, if the whole breast feeding and losing weight thing were true for everyone I'd be thin as rails, NOT!
You are beautiful by the way I seen a pic. But I didn't need to see a pic to know that. I can tell in the way you write as well.
Have a totally wonderful Friday!
Joey, I met you a couple years ago @ an event. Let me just tell you lady: you have a beautiful caring heart that radiates to the world via your smile, your voice, your words. Who cares what the packaging is, it's the product inside that is important and I am willing to bet that your hubby, your son, and everyone who loves you are happy because you are you: real, beautiful, compassionate, loving, funny. You are FABULOUS ;o)
I struggle w/the self-image issue too but have learned that time is a gift. We need to embrace every moment because when it's over, it's the happiness we've experienced and given to others (not that we look a hot mess, our jeans are a size we don't like, or that we drive a "wash me inside & out NOW!" minivan while the next person is in a shiny new Mercedes) that matters. And hey, when we fall on our butts, we can bounce way better than those skinny bitches LOL
miss ya on the radio but happy I found your blog - hang in there. you have a stranger in the world rooting for you!
