Gotta get the weight off http://www.extrapounds.com/blog/bareminerals/comments/337836/gotta-get-the-weight-off <p>What's fake about me: colord hair and contacts, the wonder bra (for shape and lift), hip hugging and thigh slimming underware, jeans that distract from the pear, ...and my smile : (</p> <p>What's real about me: the disgust I have for what I've done to my body.</p> <p>Current situation:</p> <p>1) I have permanently disfigured my body with stretch marks and rolls of fat.&nbsp; Once I get rid of the weight I'll have to have the excess skin cut off if I ever want to let a man see me naked;&nbsp;</p> <p>2) I haven't been home to visit my family because I don't want them to know I have been completely out of control!&nbsp; I'm a former US Marine but I look like a whale.&nbsp; Speaking of whales, I live in San Diego but I haven't been to the beach in over 6 years;</p> <p>3) I'm wearing a size 3x.&nbsp; If I get any bigger, I'll have to buy my clothes on-line at some super big women's store.&nbsp; Right now I'm stuck with shopping at Kohls (... thank God for Kohl's because Lane Bryant is way to expensive!); and,</p> <p>4) A shot out to Home Depot for having extension shower heads with flexible hose so I can wash the places I cannot get to anymore.&nbsp; INSANE!&nbsp; How could I do this to myself?!</p> <p>Corrective actions to date: I did make it to the gym today.&nbsp; I spent 28 minutes on the elliptical machine and then worked out on a few pieces of nautilus equipment (inner and outer thights, some sort of lateral press for shoulders... bra straps always fall down, I hope this helps).&nbsp; But then a hot, make-up wearing, cleavage showing chick walks in; all eyes on her, snap!&nbsp; And, yep, I couldn't handle it.&nbsp; I hung my head and got out of there; a weak excuse, I know.&nbsp; I'll be mentally stronger next time.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <a href="http://www.extrapounds.com/blog/bareminerals/comments/337836/gotta-get-the-weight-off">Comments(4)</a> 337836 Friday, December 7, 2007 00:04:20
