My Manfriend

(hey, he needs privacy too, so a girl can dream!)

Jack and Buddy

Jimmy and Kenny

And so it begins...

I'm fabulous. Really, I am. I tell myself that every day. But I don't always believe it. Hence my trip to Weight Watchers this week. I wish I could say it was the first time I'd ever been there. But it's not. It's more like the eighteenth. But who's counting? The leader asked all of the new people why they were there that morning. When it got to my turn, I told her straight out, "Because I'm a masochist and I'm into shame and self humiliation." She laughed, sort of. "No offense meant to all of you other fat people here," I said to the small (ha ha) crowd around me. They looked at me in complete horror. Oh, screw em if they can't take a joke. Anyhow, I've decided to make the whole adventure into my comedic story. I will write here the challenges I face, how I overcome them, and how I can do it all with a sick and twisted view of the whole process. And maybe you'll get a chuckle if you tune in once in a while. I'm sure I'll blog about other stuff too. Whenever I find something throughout my day I find humorous (and there are many when your point of view is as twisted as mine) I'll try to take the time to jot it down and share. And if you don't think it's funny, well, like the fat people, screw ya.



A little about me. I'm 46 and single mom of two wonderful boys. I'll call them Kenny and Jimmy. I don't want to invade their privacy by revealing their real names. They are 11 and 7 and the joy of my life. I have two dogs, Jack and Buddy (their real names). Jack is a big golden and Buddy is a very teeny chiweenie. Yes, chiweenie (hey, I didn't come up with the name!) Jack is 8 and Buddy is four months. They are quite hysterical together. And I have a significant other right now. I hate to call a 55 year old man a "boy" friend. It seems kind of perverted. So I will refer to him as my "man" friend. No real name for him either, sorry. My parents live just down the road and my mother lives vicariously through my life. I'm sure you'll hear more about her later. I've shared some pictures here so you'll get the full effect. Now, I must go off and recharge my points calculator. I was quite bummed to find it only 8 o'clock and I have no points left, must be a bum battery...
