Don't mess with a hungry chubby person

So today 4/18 starts a new diet. Well, we’re not really calling it a diet but moreso a change in the way we’re living. If you’ve known me for a while you know that my weight has always yo-yo’d. For my whole life, my weight has long been my biggest frustration. I will gain weight, lose it, feel better about myself and gain it right back. I know I’m not alone in feeling like this, but with weightloss, it always feels like it’s harder for you ‘than’ it is for the rest of the world. SO, we went foodshopping this weekend buying lots of chicken, fish, and other good meats and lots of veggies and brown rice. We’ve gotten into the horrible habit if eating out 3-4 times / week and that is certainly not helping things. I know this isn’t the most interesting thing for me to blog about, but if I put it on here, I’m more likely to stick with it….. We had a really nice weekend. We were on on Friday with the intention of taking a ride down to the boardwalk but since it felt like it was about 30 degrees out, we stuck around our neck of the woods. We hit up the Amish Market and Columbus Mart and had dinner with great friends. Saturday evening we went to a bachelorette party at the nightclub Sisters. We had a great time. We had some drinks… and danced a whole lot. Then on Sunday Ron cleaned and cooked us some healthy meals for the week and I worked in the yard for what seemed like days… Two things of interest right now. Facebook recently removed a picture of a gay couple kissing and sent a message to the owner citing that the picture was found to be objectionable and therefore was removed. Is facebook drawing a line in the sand with regards to social issues? Hmmm… I’m curious to see where that story goes. Also, I read an article this morning on cnn.com about gay families and how in most metropolitan areas how most people were less surprised or concerned about a gay family living next door to them than ever before. As always, I love to read the comments. Most of the comments were along the lines of “We’re tired of reading about gay people, why is so much attention given to such a small segment of the population”…. That makes me chuckle because for one… they read the article. They want to complain about having ‘gay related stories’ thrust at them but they continue to read them. (this is not unlike people who like to judge my blog but still read it every time I post… but I digress). The reason us gays are so loud, have such big mouths and in general make a stink about things are because the people on the other side of the fence have most of the power and have oppressed and abused us. Now we have a voice… One that grows louder every day. And to those small minded, bible thumping, knuckle draggers, I say… be afraid…. Very afraid… because times are changing… whether you like it or not. Peace.
