Yep I won the fat lottery!

I got tired of putting one foot in front of the other and making slow progress or no progress at all.

I listened to the voice of "You Deserve A Break Today" and the next thing I knew it was one more day, then one week, then another week.

All my hard won resolve (dissolved). Can I claim Temporary Insanity?, Raging Hormonal Response to Candy Corn? or was it the hefty deposits to my IRA (Irrational Response to Appetite) that led to this break? Can I sue McDonald's for putting their catchy little jingle in my brain that led to being able to jiggle like jello when I walk?

Regardless the reason the results are in and Yes.....I won the fat lottery this week! Woo Hoo, Boo Hoo!I'm finding out that too much of anything is never a good thing.

Unlike most lottery winners.....I'm not having to turn away people who want me to donate out of my abundance. I've not had to change my phone number countless times or have it unlisted. There aren't distant relatives showing up on my doorsteps demanding I give them a fat transplant to save their life. No one has asked me to endorse their product, be a spokes person for them, nor have my children's safety been threatened by being kidnapped for a huge fat ransom.

Sigh! Maybe I should take out an ad in the Newspaper: Free Fat! Well trained, friendly, likes kids, quiet and subtle, never needs to be taken out for a walk! Refills readily available!

Any takers?

Oh Daisy, you are so funny. But I hope you're not sad. You have so much good going on in your life, and such a bright spirit and caring heart. I hope you can love yourself enough to get through whatever is stalling you in your battle with the bulge. We moms sometimes take such good care of our children and our husbands that we forget that we need to be patient and loving with ourselves. The time will come. You will do it. In the meantime, here's an internet hug (((xx)))

I love how you find the humor in pretty much everything. The true beauty of people lies here, and not in some physical ideal. I shudder to think that I would be devalued simply because I might carry some extra fat on my body.

There's got to be so much more to life than that: and I appreciate your having the courage to remind us of this. You're already a winner in the contest that truly matters.

Hey, don't worry so much about it. It happens to the best of us. This week was just like that for me. I may have eaten an equivalent of a house!

Think of it this way, you are carrying the weight for all of the starving actresses and models.

There is only so much poundage allotted for the world--you are picking up the slack. They should thank you (and me for that matter) for the public service.
