    The End of an Affair

    by Mindi Cherry

    FacebookPinEmail

    I'm sorry,  I know that we have known each other for a long time, but it's over. 

    You have been a part of my life longer than my husband has been and I will truly miss you.

    Others have come and gone in the last 20+ years.  You have remained a constant....always there when I wanted to be with you again.  

    You have had this unexplainable pull on me.  I wanted to stay away from you, but I just couldn't.

    You never judged me.  You were a good friend. 

    I am sure that I will continue to think of you often, but it is simply time to move on and try it on my own.  The cost is just too high if I keep going back to you.

    Farewell Weight Watchers...... 

     (ok - you know what a fickle bitch I am, so I'll probably be back.  But right now you have confused the shit out of me.  In the last 6 weeks I have gained 4 pounds and gone down a pants size...that is, the jeans that were previously "unzippable" now zip up with ease.  Explain that to me and I'll give you your $14/week again!)

      Right, who needs Weight Watchers. You can do it on your own!

      Hey, if my weight went up and my pant size went down, I'd be a happy camper. You're doing SOMETHING right!

      It just makes no sense that I can gain weight but be smaller. I noticed that you all seem to know me well enough not to say "maybe that exercising is paying off!" 😉

      You know Min - The scale is NOT your friend. You should never even step onto it. You should care only how things fit and how you feel. Mostly how you FEEL - the scale can and most certainly WILL make you crazy.

      Just gonna throw this out there - don't shoot me or slap me... what on earth is wrong with you the way you are? Right now? Today? You look perfectly lovely to me, I don't get why you insist on beating yourself up all the time. Just be kind to your body, make good food choices, drink water... be happy. Are you healthy? Is your blood pressure okay? Your cholesterol? Take care of real issues, not the ones shoved down our collective throat by pretty much everyone looking ot make a quick buck.

      You.are.fine.the.way.you.are. I promise.

      the scale is whickity-wacked and not in a good way! And besides, don't you have 3 children? How much fun is it to: 1) drop stuff on the scale? 2) drop the scale? 3) jump on the scale? 4) or otherwise mess with the scale?

      Besides, with as sick as you have been I don't see how you could have gained 4 pounds unless it is those Mucus guys from the Mucinex commercials hanging out in your lungs!

      Have another Jack and coke on me and celebrate the looseness in your cabooseness!
