Vegas Fatty

I leave for Vegas on Saturday. I am super excited and at the same time....I'm sad.  Why am I sad.  Because I didn't lose the weight I was supposed to when I booked this trip.  So I won't be walking around in my trampy clothes I planned on wearing (hey, it's Vegas that's what people do there....LOL). 

I vow this will be the last event that I look for clothes that FIT instead of clothes that are hot, cute, sassy.  I miss the days of grabbing something off the rack and not even bothering to try it on. 

Now, I have to try on everything....and I'm buying sizes I never thought I'd buy.....

A friend posted a picture of me from their wedding reception.....I look like....someone I never thought I'd look like.

I oftern wonder if people who haven't seen me in a while think....."she needs to put down the sandwiches".....

174.8 the scale said this morning...10 years ago I was in a size 4......today.....let's just say it's not a size 4....it's not even single digits.

I'm getting old; I can't eat like I used to and it's time for me to face that reality.

I can't eat fast food for 3 meals and expect the scale to not TIP!!

My self-esteem is at a low....a very low low.....

I do not want to be the fat aunt at my niece's wedding next year; nor do I want to be the cousin's fat wife at my DH's cousin's wedding next month. 

My head is bouncing off the wall; and instead of blood there is french fries pouring out of my head. 

What is more important - french fries or health?  Cookies or self-esteem?  Chips or my DH's being proud of his hot wife on his arm?

The time is now......
