I started my wbl today at Family Medical Center Norwood. I like it already. Stays pretty busy.don’t have to look for something to do. And they don’t treat me like a student. They don’t breath down my back and make it all scary. My trainer, Mya, is a tripp. The rest of the staff is nice too. But the Dr doesn’t speak to me. Nor does he acknowledge my existence. Oh well.
My little brother Kevin, and his son, my beloved nephew Blake. He sent me this right after he moves to Texas. It makes me really sad. I miss them tons.
A while back, at the entrance of a gym, there was a picture of a very thin and beautiful woman. The caption was “This summer, do you want to be a mermaid or a whale?”
The story goes, a woman (of clothing size unknown) answered the following way:
“Dear people, whales are always surrounded by friends (dolphins, seals, curious humans), they are sexually active and raise their children with great tenderness. They entertain like crazy with dolphins and eat lots of prawns. They swim all day and travel to fantastic places like Patagonia, the Barents Sea or the coral reefs of Polynesia.
They sing incredibly well and sometimes even are on cds. They are impressive and dearly loved animals, which everyone defend and admires.
Mermaids do not exist.
But if they existed, they would line up to see a psychologist because of a problem of split personality: woman or fish?
They would have no sex life and could not bear children.
Yes, they would be lovely, but lonely and sad.
And, who wants a girl that smells like fish by his side?
Without a doubt, I’d rather be a whale.
At a time when the media tells us that only thin is beautiful, I prefer to eat ice cream with my kids, to have dinner with my husband, to eat and drink and have fun with my friends.
We women, we gain weight because we accumulate so much wisdom and knowledge that there isn’t enough space in our heads, and it spreads all over our bodies.
Weare not fat, we are greatly cultivated.
Everytime I see my curves in the mirror, I tell myself: “How amazing am I ?! “
