Maintenance is not worth the effort.
 

That's it.

I'm done.

I've had enough. It is too hard to always think about what I am eating. Exercise---who needs it? It is interfering with my life. And for what? All my clothes are too big. I don't want to spend money on new clothes, especially when it is a 99% chance I will just regain the weight.

My blood pressure was just fine 50 pounds ago. Sure, my cholesterol was creeping up, but I'm sure that's just genetics. I have health insurance---there are plenty of drugs to keep things under control.

So I have decided to kick this lifestyle to the curb. I shall revert to my old ways and allow the fat to come back on like a cozy blanket. Cause these days I'm just cold all the time.

As for my new clothes, I'll give them to my daughter. We wear the same size now....but don't you think that it is wrong for a 36 year old woman to be mistaken for her 16 yo daughter anyway? These hips have birthed 4 kids---and I want them to be easily recognized for that triumph.

So I'm out of here. You can find me at Krispy Kreme.



















APRIL FOOL! Have a great, healthy, on plan April 1!:devil:

I've literally had 5 friends change facebook statuses to something about being pregnant. I don't know what to believe!

But thank goodness YOU are kidding! Oy!

That's a great idea!! (mental note to get on Facebook this afternoon)

OMG I was ready to smack you silly!!!

OMG...
You got me there!!!!
And I was like: I am not even going to write to her because she won't be coming to check 3FC anymore... I thought you were a lost soul... LOL
I am glad it was just a joke, after all your hard work...

no she di int!!!

I KNEW it was a lead in to something!!! you. go . girl.

let's rock the maintenance thang :)

I have been so wrapped up in today that I forgot it was April until I read the April thread in weight & resistance training, then promptly forgot again until I read your post. I actually started to choke on the water I just drank as I was trying to wrap my head around a response. Then, I scrolled down... :)

You're silly!

LOL - that was good. I believed you! Sad thing is that I've actually HAD that conversation with myself before, usually about 15-20lbs into a relapse. Then about 40 lbs later I'm crying over my tub of ice cream and thinking "if only I'd got it together when I only had 15 lbs to lose!"

Glad you were only foolin' !!

Nice try, midwife! :lol:

Whatever, midwife! I didn't fall for it for a second!

I did fall for the woman at the gym this morning telling me I was walking around with a big hole in my pants, but in my defense, I hadn't drank much coffee yet.

Best April Fool's joke I've seen in a long time! :D

Thanks for that!

I might have been tempted to believe it from someone else, but not you! :)

I caught on with the title--you can't pass one over on me!

My DD signed off of Facebook early this morning because of everyone sending her strange notes that she didn't understand. So far? No one has been able to dupe me. I guess you get less gullible as you age.

You are a brat!

:fr:

You evil gal! :rofl:

Jay

:lol: What's really funny is all the page views this post has gotten!

Midwife<

You're gooooood and that's scary!

That was waaay cool
 

Must be an American thing - no one has tried anything to fool me today. Forgot that it was April Fool's day.

I read about half way down in your post, starting to really get concerned, got to the part about the cozy blanket of fat, and started :rofl: Good one!!!

Dagmar :cool:

Funny!!!

Not a chance. Not a flipping chance could you ever fool us! I'd sooner believe that eating hot dogs and ice cream for three days will make me magically thin (yes, it's a real diet plan :p) than believe YOU would give up on maintenance. You, Midwife, are going to be doing squats and eating oatmeal and egg whites when you're 90. And loving every minute of it!

Okay. You are too funny.

I start reading it and I'm thinking "What in the world's happened to our level-headed Midwife?". I continue on and I know something just doesn't sound right here. This is not our Midwife talking. I couldn't wait to get to the end, because I had to see how it turned out, so I scrolled down and there it was.

Okay. You are too funny.

But really, you can't fool most of us here. We know you too well.

Maintenance is not worth the effort? - yeah, right. ;) :hug:

LMAO

Thanks Midwife for a good one.

Well, you got me! I knew there would be a catch, but April 1 was just not on my mind at that moment.

:kickbutt: :lol3:


Anne

Very clever! I love a good April Fool's joke.

I knew you were up to something as soon as I read the title. Maybe from someone else it would have been believable, but not you (which is probably a good thing). It took me until about the second paragraph to remember it was April 1.

I'm touched by ya'll's faith in me!! And WHEN I'm 90 and lifting weights and eating egg whites & oatmeal, it will be due to having such great role models here at 3fc!

Too funny!
My dad's birthday was April 1 so we always called him a fool! He loved trying to pull pranks over on everyone on his birthday. He would have been 83 yesterday (he died in 2007).

LOL, you didn't fool me. When I saw who it was from, I knew it was a joke!

HAHAHA I so totally fell for it for a couple of seconds... but I guess that reading your post on April 3rd instead of the 1st kind of did me in. :lol:

Thanks for the chuckle. :joker:
