Friday Confessions

It's my first time linking up with Aubrey over at High-Heeled Love. Here are my confessions for this bleak and dreary Friday here in Central Texas...

I confess:
I'm sad that my time in the library is coming to an end. It's such a wonderful, relaxing job.

I confess:
This new diet lifestyle has my... Erm... Potty habits all wonky.. I'm not used to peeing every 20 minutes.. And lets not talk about the other result of whole grains and fiber O_O

I confess:
Today is my mom's 40-something birthday. I really honestly have no idea how old she is. I think she's 46... But she doesn't act her age and she certainly doesn't look mid-40s. I only hope that I have her snarky-ness and good looks when I'm 46 too.

I confess:
I'm limping today. Something I did last night is making my calves scream in pain. I don't know what it is or what I did, but dammit it hurts.

I confess:
I try not to let the scale define who I am, but sometimes it does. I've been overweight my entire life. At the age of 8 I had a doctor (and my grandmother) tell me I was too fat and that I needed to be put on a diet. My grandmother, dear blogsphere. At 16 the same woman told me that I was a pretty girl, but I would be beautiful if I just lost some weight. Please don't get me wrong, I love my grandmother... I really do.. But sometimes the ones closest to you can cause the most damage. I was also called tubby at home. Not by Mom, but by my dad and brother. It's a big, screwed up mess. Luckily my relationships with everyone are in a much better place.


I wish this was the message I was given as a child.

I confess:
This one isn't as heavy as the last, promise!! My knee feels stronger. This is a big big big victory for me. I had sugery during my senior year in high school. My knee has more screws in it than a hardware store. It has always been very weak and prone to buckling under my weight. This was a daily occurance. I don't think it's happened in a couple days. I feel stronger and smaller. It's a victory for me!



I'm noticing changes! Huzzah!
I'm noticing changes!!! I'm so excited :)

Did I also mention that today is the Friday before SB2013??

Woohoo! This just means I will have to dig my laptop out at home to keep my blogosphere updated :)

Until next time blogosphere! Stay sane :)

  1. Cool link up! I can totally relate, I remember people talking about my weight when I was in kindergarten! My brothers were relentless. We are doing something about it now and that is all that matters. I hope that changes thing is right. I'm 4 weeks into this bootcamp and I can see the changes, by the end of the next one I expect people to see them too!! haha

    1. I'm so eager for the day that others start noticing. My fiance has noticed that my face is a little slimmer, but that's it.

      We are doing something about it! You are so right. That is absolutely all that matters!

    1. :) I'm glad! It was a bit embarrassing at first, but I've accepted it as just one of those things. My mom compared it to being pregnant and the baby kicking your bladder constantly. I can't say that I have any idea what she's talking about, but I can only imagine.

    1. It only gets better with age! Mom had me pretty young, so don't worry :)

      I'm slowly getting used to the potty thing.. It wasn't something I was expecting when I started this :)

  4. First, thank you for joining the Friday Confessional party. I'm really glad you decided to play along this week.

    Second, good job on making healthier lifestyle choices. I'm sorry that your family didn't always choose to be supportive of you, but I'm glad you're doing things to make you happier.

    I hope you're enjoying your spring break.
