Three weeks are up tomorrow!
Which means my scatterbrained should have a new habit formed: healthy living. (It takes the human brain 21 days to make or break a habit) Woohoo!
195.9 lbs
16.1 lbs crash-bang-boomed!
83.9 to badabing-badaboom!
My old - oops! I mean, of course! my oldER - brothers (silly me) ;) and I all like multiple genres of music courtesy our musically inclined Momma's genes and gifted soprano-harmonic voice. Which means, we love hip-hop and country equally. Strange but true. One of is even in the underground industry.
And, while I am in no way shape or form an aspiring rapper or hip-hopstress, I do like to have fun with it now and then just to goad my brother, the lyricist.
So, I was horsing around with him about my fat jokes (all about me, because that's how my fat rolls ^_^), and well, my dorkness had some fun and even got my brother to quirk a grin at the corner of his mouth as he shook his head and probably wondered what planet implanted my embryo to get me to a galaxy far far away :D
Ahem...
I'm fat, with no "Ph" balance
But rounded, with pounds of talent.
I thought that would make a great "Before" moniker. From "Fat to Phat" :D ??? No? Oh. Well phbthttt!
Anyway, I'm having fun aty own expense. I've been doing that ever since I realized it IS fun when I laugh at myself before anyone else can when I trip up the third floor stairs to math class and split my denim skirt up the side and my friends come tumbling after. Oh yeah. That happened. A lot. And thank the Lord for safety pins. And send back the glow in the dark underthings (what was I thinking! VW's and daisies that's what. Dumb-dumb). Anyway. I pretended I found a penny heads-up so it would all be worth it once my good luck ship came in. Um, believe it or not, that has yet to happen... Anyway, as I grew INTO klutzy over the years, it's been a butterscotch lifesaver in diffusing tension. Cry vs joke? I'd rather joke.
Anyway, it's not counter-productive. It's medicinal. I feel Less embarrassed, people are Less uncomfortable and More receptive to helping me up, I move on Faster, I dwell on it Less, and I get a good laugh which should lengthen my life a minute or two :) Who doesn't love THAT!
So, I laugh at the fat. It helps me put it in perspective. It diminishes the fat, making it less intimidating. It takes the power from the problem and puts the power in OVERpowering the problem.
The journey doesn't have to be painful. Pain and feeding the pain is what Caused the problem.
The journey should be fun, leaving little to no room for bitterness, pain, negativity and backward thinking.
For years I laughed and smiled because I thought if I did, eventually I'd feel like laughing and smiling. It usually worked. Now I don't think or obsess over it. I do it. I'm like Mike :P So I guess Nike is my homegirl (she is a girl right? Ugh I don't do mythology much) :) and mascot a li'l.
Okay, back to the napkin to see if my muse has any other brainiac ideas of hip-hop-flops for me to embarrass myself with ^_^
Ttfn ta-ta-for-now!
