I always wish I could loose weight and get really sad about no be able to do so. I have
deiced to work out 3 days a week more if I want and to not weigh myself or measure until I have done this for a month to a month and a half. Then I will have a
lifestyle I like and the rest will just fit. Well that is how I see it anyways.
I came across this and it made me feel even better about my choice in not worrying about the weight and more on my
lifestyle and children.
Recently, in large French city, a poster featuring a young, thin
and tan woman appeared in the window of a gym.
It said:¨THIS SUMMER DO YOU WANT TO BE A MERMAID OR A WHALE?¨
A middle aged woman, whose physical characteristics did not
match those of the woman on the poster, responded publicly to the
question posed by the gym.To Whom It May Concern:Whales are always surrounded by friends (dolphins, sea lions,
curious humans). They have an active sex life, they get pregnant and
have adorable baby whales. They have a wonderful time with
dolphins stuffing themselves with shrimp. They play and swim in the seas,seeing wonderful places like
Patagonia, the Barren Sea and the
coral reefs of Polynesia. Whales are wonderful singers and have
even recorded CDs. They are incredible creatures and virtually have
no predators other than humans. They are loved, protected and admired
by almost everyone in the world.Mermaids don't exist. If they did exist, they would be lining
up outside the offices of Argentinean psychoanalysts due to
identity crisis. Fish or human? They don't have a sex life because they
kill men who get close to them not to mention how could they have sex?Therefore they do not have kids either. Not to mention who wants
to get close to a girl who smells like a fish store? The choice
is perfectly clear to me; I want to be a whale.P.S. We are in an age when media puts into our heads the idea that only skinny people are beautiful, but I prefer to enjoy an ice
cream with my kids, a good dinner with a man who makes me shiver and
drink with my friends. With time we gain weight because
we accumulate so much information and wisdom in our heads that
when there is no more room it distributes out to the rest of our bodies. So we aren't heavy, we are enormously cultured, educated and happy. Beginning today, when I look at my butt in the mirror I will think,"Good gosh, look how smart I am."
I can't believe how fast these last 10 months have gone.
Us. We matched and didn't even play it I packed this shirt and she got this dress while we were there. I was not with her when she got it. Kind of fun how it worked out. We painted our toes green for the play too.
