Leeda: Running in a Fat Suit

I’ve decided to try for the one hundreds by July 4th. That will give me a month to lose 7 pounds. I know I can do it and seeing the one in front of my weight will give me such confidence and make me feel like this isn’t taking forever. I know that slow and steady wins the race, but this would really be a boost to my morale. So, tommorrow, I’m kicking it into high gear. Water is a must, I think it really helps me, and excercise is now everyday, mandatory at least 45 minutes. I dont know how the baby is going to feel about that!

I’ve noticed that TV couples seem to follow a trend. The women are usually trim, attractive, and smart,while the men are a little chubby around the middle, usually bald or balding. When I really thought about it, I think about Wilma and Fred Flintstone (let’s not even mention Betty and Barney) and how a LOT of TV couple are this way. Now, I could take the obvious route and say that it’s ok for men to be overweight, and that women in turn need to be trim and beautiful. I dont know why I’m so disturbed by it, I think I would be less disturbed if both people were trim and attractive…at least advertisers would be evenly setting sometimes impossible goals for both sexes.  Oh well…
