Brass Tacks

I have reached the plateau. Its the plateau I always reach. I could work out and eat nothing for the next twenty five years and still be my size. Arg. It makes me angry, but whatever. It only makes me angry because for all my hard work it really never will be considered an acheivement, and naturally skinny girls are praised for their weight, even though they may have never walked into a gym.

I recently saw photos of myself, and even though I know I lost 20 lbs I still look the same as I did six months ago. When I am at home alone I have absolutely no problem with me. I see my problem areas, as anyone does, but the rest seems pretty good to me. Maybe surrounding myself with tiny girls doesn't help.

Blah. I am a hot momma, and if you can't handle it, well then get back to the kitchen. ?

- - Side Note:
I would like to state on the record that I think it is perfectly fine to be my size if you are A)active AND B)heatly. I work out all the time. I also teach a physically challenging gymnastics class in which I 100% participate. I do not advocate inactivity. I have low cholesteral and low blood pressure. There is nothing I take more pride in than watching a young child who is overweight work harder because they see that I am overweight and I can do anything I put my mind to.

I think it is perfectly healthy to have a larger person as a role model, even in the media, as someone who is active but may not have the perfect body.
