DairyFarmersWife's Journal, 09 August 2012

you are hilarious! did you know laughing burns calories!? 

You've hit a familiar chord. I too have one of those scenic mountain range pictures. My daughter took the picture to commemorate a trip and posted it on my Facebook wall. Horrors! I'm keeping my Facebook account private until I can find a way to either hide it or delete it. Who did I think I was fooling behind baggy clothes, anyway? Apparently only me. It sounds like you have a wonderful husband who knows you quite well. You're a lucky lady! 

i wish i had mountains on top! got molehills. 

Jess You can have my new found moutain. It bounces when you do jumping jacks just like boobs. 

I only do Jumping Jack Daniels. It's part of my Bacardio exercise. 

I love your journal! My profile looks JUST like yours, and frankly the most exciting change in my 22 lbs lost so far is that I'm wider side to side than I am front to back, whereas before I was just a big ROUND ball. Um, I haven't shared before & after pics yet either - prolly too vain, but I'll get to it eventually! 

Don't worry DFW we all took awhile before we posted our first pics :) 

LMAFO!! I have soooo experienced your mental breakdown!! Wait till you've lost some of the weight and he starts telling you how beautiful and sexy you are... and when you say to him, "I thought you said I was beautiful and sexy when I was 25 lbs heavier, were you lying to me? And as he fumbles for something to say.... and you feel like your marriage has been a lie! THAT'S the point when you will need to look at the before pictures. It'll help you realize why he lied his ass off for you!! I will happily share my before pics.... Because to be honest, its a pretty good reminder of where I DO NOT want to be!  

I just laughed so hard. That is hilarious. 

At least you are dealing with baby fat - keep up the good work - it will take time but you know you've got this licked!  

Sometimes the journals just make me bust up laughing. The people here are so funny and I can totally relate to the mountains. I really hated it when I would look down at my feet in the shower and had to look past the mountains (boobs, second set of whatever you want to call it, and then my stomach). I am so much happier now. I lost most of that (well... managed to keep most of the boobs during weight loss :) and also thinned my thighs in the process so now I can wear skirts and not have my legs rub together. It is a wonderful feeling. 

great post, so helpful to laugh! My turning point came when I couldn't find the remote, until I stood up and if fell out from it's hiding place, under my belly. Didn't even feel it there! I had turned into my dad, and his 'pot-belly', which I abhorred when I was a kid. I do wonder where I will keep the remotes after I develop a 6-pack! 

Balance it on the 6-pack cerobit! :) 

Sorry to tell ya cerobit.... It won't matter, cause to maintain a 6 pack at our age... we won't have time for TV! ;-)  

lol! Nice ending :) 

DFW - you crack me up every day! That sense of humor and absurdity will keep you motivated! Thanks! 

You are hilarious! What did we do before cell phones when we really had to wait for an answer, lol! I've done the same thing to my hubby, then find out like yours he forgot his phone or has no reception (we run into that a lot in our little town!) I haven't taken any before pics, but I was walking at the mall the other day and looking in the windows of the stores wondering what was following me to realize it was my big ol' butt :) Hoping all these squats and lunges will reduce that!!  

I didn't post a pic other than my face for well over a year. Over time I got to know some pretty cool peeps and just did it lol. I still haven't been able to find a picture at my high weight of 185. Sometimes it more fun to post that before and after although I am sure you hubby is tight and you are beautiful the way you are! (As long as we are not wrangling our kids in Wegman's right??? lol) I have to admit I still go through the same thing tmhiggins said... I always think that people were lying to me and especially my husband. I can relate though... things whirl through my head especially whenever I am feeling down. Skirch I HATE STORE WINDOWS!!! Aren't they just the worse. It's like going by an accident. As much as you try NOT to look you just have to!
