Back again for the first time...
Hey everybody!
Well, I'm back from my "blogging vacation" and I've got soooooo much to say. (**smile**) Everything is still everything. I haven't heard a peep from Middle since like the first week of May, and I think I'm sorta OK with that. I really do wish he'd called to at least see how I'm doing, but it's probably best that it hasn't happened.
I've been spending some quality time with me here lately. I've rediscovered a few things about myself, and I've reevaluated the way I look at a couple of people. One of the first things I remembered about me is how lazy I can get when I'm not motivated. If I don't watch it, I'll lay around all day and all night and not do a thing. That's bad. I've got to get moving. I've switched doctors and I'm going to one now where he's helping me shed my extra weight. If I'm honest with myself, I need to loose a good 80 pounds... or more. (**smile**)
That brings me to the next realization... I don't hate Mo'Nique. I thought I did, y'all. It was horrible the way I used to turn my nose up when somebody mentioned her. It's not her size that made me mad, but it was the way she carried herself. I always felt like she was extra loud and plain old ghetto -- which still may be true -- but I see her differently now. Being one of the "Big Girls," I'd always cringe when I saw her because she was usually wearing something I thought was TOTALLY inappropriate. (Who am I? The fashion police??) The offending outfit was often an extremely bright color and tight as hell. That troubled me so much I wasn't able to look past the self-proclaimed fashion offenses to see the spirit of the woman who wore the clothes. I read an article in an issue of Essence (I have no idea what month or who was on the cover...) where Jill Scott interviewed Mo'Nique and I was able to read those words and hear the woman who said them. She's an interesting and accomplished lady. I'll remember that now, no matter what she's wearing.
So, back to me... I'm laying low on the man front. Right now, my focus is me and my weight. That will likely be the topic of discussion for awhile. Doc wants me to loose 30 pounds in the next six weeks, so I've gotta get moving! I'm actually excited about my new adventure. I've lost some weight before, so I know I can do it... I just gotta get off my rear end and move something.
That's all for now... there will be more later!
Peace and blessings!!
