Standing right back up.
I’m doing it. I am changing me today. I’m focusing on getting thru one day at a time. We went grocery shopping yesterday and I got some good food and realized how good I felt doing that. I’ve been doing a lot of thinking about this journey I am on and what it means to me. I’m just going to remember why I started doing this and what message it sends to myself and to others when I don’t do this.
I got on the scale yesterday morning and about died. This morning, it hasn’t budged so it wasn’t a fluke. I’m freaking out! Jesus. So, I’m trying to get my head into the mode of I haven’t lost 80 pounds. That I’ve just got to start this now and focus on the next 80 pounds. Starting fresh!!

It has been a while since this happened, but it is just too funny to forget. Larisa and I went to vote Tuesday evening. Now, we live in the country where most of our neighbors are good Christian Republicans. Not that there’s anything wrong with that. But, as a result, you just never know what might happen at your local polling place. A friend of mine who lives in the deep, deep country shook up the whole building by asking for a Democrat ballot. Seriously, they had to go “hunt one up”.
So, we are standing in line and most of the folks in front of us go Republican. One guy picked democrat and I noticed he had on loafers. (this will be important soon) I’m up first and they find my name and I’m signing and initialing. As I am doing this, I notice that the other lady already has her hand on the democrat pile. What is it about me that made her automatically think “deomcrat”? I’m not used to being automatically thought of as anything besides fat. I ponder this as we walk out and Ris informs me that the lady did the same thing to her.
Feel free to add to our little ditty:
“You might be a democrat if you wear loafers and your daughter wears sparkly shoes.”
“You might be a deomcrat if you show cleavage.”
“You might be a democrat if you ‘look’ like a lesbian.”

I was thinking I could give a commentary on who you should vote for or who supports weight watchers or something like that. I could also tell you who I’m voting for and why-gay issues, gender issues, intelligence issues (and by that I mean IQ) and last but most definately not least-who is left handed, but the only reason I should do that is ’cause I can. Instead, I’ll just say quit reading this and go vote. This is SO very important to our country. YOU hold all the power!
The best thing I read today. “To not vote is to do nothing.” Well, duh. But think on a bigger level folks.
