Smoke and mirrors

"Nope, you don't look any thinner from this angle."







Ain't that always the case.  I watched a lady walk across the crosswalk this morning on my way to work who was so large she had trouble walking and all I could think about was "that could be me"!

I have the desire to be thin just not the motivation, conviction and drive and apparently as much as my 7 year old thinks they sell everything at Wal-Mart they do not sell that!

Speaking of seven year olds, mine was born without a filter.  I hope he grows into one but currently he lets you know what he's thinking when he's thinking it.  The other night he said "Mama, I'm not sayin' this to be mean but you are kinda fat.  You gotta watch out or you might have another baby".  Isn't he precious?

I saw a picture of my wedding the other day and thought "I want to look like that chick!".  You know you've fallen far when you see a cute guy you always chat with at work and now are avoiding him based solely on vanity. 

I found a new quote for my desk at work:

“People often say that motivation doesn't last. Well, neither does bathing - that's why we recommend it daily.”  - Zig Zigler

Now if only I was motivated as much as I bathed! And it's a good thing I bath more than I'm motivated!

This morning I feel motivated to be thin.  Not sure how I'll be tonight, probably tired, cranky and craving Chinese food.  Besides the fact I want it now.  I'm Instant gratification girl.  Only without the tights, because just because they sell spandex in my size doesn't mean I should wear it.
