fat guys like me

I was at the bar the other night and I actually got a guy checking me out from across the room. At least I think thats what it means when a guy makes intense eye contact twice within a couple minutes time. It HAS been a long time since I was on the dating scene and I could have forgotten what few rules I did manage to learn. Anyway, he was pretty good looking, just fat. And I'm still fat so it made me feel pretty good even if there was no chance of rubbing belly rolls deep into the night until we are both sweaty and chafed.

Did my cat learn her eating habits from me?

I realize that everyone and her cat has a weight loss blog out there. My cat could actually use one now that I think about it. She is even fatter than me. At least proportionally. She probably only needs to lose 7 pounds where I could stand to lose about 70. I like to chase her and watch her pannus sway to and fro (see "Pannus" blog). Is that wrong of me? At least we are both getting some exercise by running our fat asses around the house.

Cankles & Collarbones

I've had fat ankles since 8th grade, when I was actually underweight. The fattest kid in the class decided to point out that I had cankles! But I did have a completely flat stomach. Unfortunately that was the first and last time I was blessed with that gift. Notice that celebrities with perfect legs have ribs that u can see when they wear a low cut shirt. A collarbone you could use for a bookshelf. U can count her vertebrae like a stack of quarters, like a fish spine. 

Addicted to Jeans?

I'm down 25 and have about another 50 to go. I will probably have to live with only another 20 or 30 tho. Its really hard to get down there. The closest I ever got I was still on the fat end of thin. Probably technically still overweight and I was eating so little and exercising so much I couldn't tell if I was hungry or nauseated. And that didn't even get me down to skinny! Anyway....there is so much variation from one brand of jeans to the next when it comes to sizes. Some 16s are too loose but some 18s are too tight! So I've started buying jeans at Savers so I can have more jeans that actually fit when I'm in those in-between sizes. And I've found hot jeans (Gap, Maurices) for $6 to $12. It is still a challenge to find them long enough. I figure it is better to reward myself for losing weight by stuffing my closet with used clothes rather than stuffing my gullet with cheeseburgers or cheesecake.
