Lately, on social media, I’ve been whining about how much weight I’ve gained in the last few months (which is pushing 20lbs BTW).
How shitty I feel. How awful I look. How much the scale has crept up recently – mainly to get some advise from those I follow and to hear what other women in my situation have successfully done to change.
I commented that I really wasn’t looking for attention – but I kinda was!
Of course, I got a bunch of responses on the ‘gram, of folks trying to get me to buy this or join that – which I blatantly ignored!
But, this week, while talking to a co-worker (about work), she asked how I was and what was goin’ on. Of course, I made the comment about my weight gain – and her response really took me aback!
She said …
“Why can’t you just accept that this is how you are?”
“Why are women so obsessed with the number on the scale and how they look?”
“Why not just be happy in your own skin?”
Whoa! I’ve just been called out! I’ve just been told the response that others in my life just don’t have the guts (big brass balls actually!) to say to me!
First off, let’s just say, that I was stunned stupid to hear this! Secondly, I was almost relieved that someone told me (pretty much) to STOP BITCHING AND DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT ALREADY!
Because …
- I’m not happy. Period.
- I’m not going to accept that this is how I look now.
- This is not ME.
So, that’s the plan! To actually make a plan to do something about my little (fucking huge) situation!
I don’t know what that plan is exactly – yet.
Let’s do this!
