Well, it’s out…… I AM FAT!! OOOOHHHH Hooooooo! I can see you squirming in your chair as you read this!! Wondering….Did she REALLY say that?? YUP!! I did! I weigh (ok be prepared to gasp!) 250 lbs. HOLY COW you say!!
Hey did you just call me a cow???
Today we were at a soccer game. My sweet middle daughter was doing her best attempt at a cartwheel. She looked up at the family friend next to Raymond and said, “My mom can’t do a cartwheel because she is fat.” And then proceeded on ,”She is really, really fat with a great big tummy.”
So this story is my inspiration……….. I wonder how many things my kids assume I cannot do because I am fat? I wonder how many things I actually AM unable to do because of my weight.
Here is the beginning of my journey to being thin. Not superstar anorexic skinny. Just in the correct weight for my body.
Please be a part of my journey. Be my support and to be willing to yell from across the room. “JODI Put the cookie down AND step away from the table!!!”
I Corinthians 10:31 Therefore, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God.

Hey, Jodi. What if instead of yelling at you I joined you in picking up a few stones for my own slingshot? My kids might not mention the “f” word, but I’m pretty sure they wouldn’t consider me cartwheel material. Mind if I join you in the Goliath patrol?

Hey girl,
I hear ya. I’m sure like myself you didn’t get there over night. It has taken me 17 years to get this fat so remember 2 pounds a week is actually a lot. We didn’t gain it that fast. I am a member at the Y and if you ever want to go with me let me know. What a great idea to set this site up. I would’nt have the first clue how to do it. Go girl!
