Being off has given me time to catch up on some daytime television...
Y&R is at the top of my catch up list but I've also taken to watching the cosby show, the wendy williams show, magnum p.i., the rockford files, maury and oprah.
I haven't watched Oprah all year. She's in reruns now but it's all new to me! Especially her fat shows. Last week it was Star Jones. It was great because I really think Star is cool people. Yeah she may have married a gay dude and was fired from the view, but she's still a very accomplished woman and that inspires me. The best thing from that show was when she said she still wakes up 307lbs some days. I know exactly what she's talking about. I'm sure others who have changed body types can agree that losing weight in your body doesn't mean you've lost the feelings you used to have. She's lost a whole person and still doesn't feel satisfied sometimes. I've lost over 40 and I still act and feel like fat me sometimes.
This weeks fat show featured Kirstie Alley. (shaking my head). She was really doing her thing on Jenny Craig and now she's fallen off horrible. The whack part about her interview was when she said she found the formula and has lost 20lbs in the past 5 weeks. Get the heck outta here! Even Oprah had to call her out on her BS. There is no formula and any punk whose done a diet in their life would know that! Ugh.
I do give her props though for being honest about the fact that She introduced success story, Valerie Bertinelli to Jenny and now home girl is wearing a bikini on the cover of People. Ouch. Even when Oprah was like "you know you shouldn't compare your body to others," Kirstie was like yes you should! lol.
The best part about that interview was when Oprah was like "can you believe that we are still talking about this." Any fatty (former or otherwise) knows what she meant. I mean me and my girl NG go on and on about how we are sick about talking about our next diet, meal plan etc. And Oprah feels our sentiments. It sucks but this thing is our lives. We will always be talking about it especially if we don't want to go back up.
I'm learning from Oprah and even Kirstie because I AM NOT GOING BACK UP...i got too many outfits and people to prove wrong to even entertain the idea of seeing 160 plus anything on the scale. Not even pregnancy should bring me back up there! Oprah was talking about giving yourself 5lbs but I've done that before and that quickly turns to 15lbs and in my case 50lbs.
I know I will do it too because I have two cousins who have successfully lost their baby fat and never put it back...one of them even had a baby and was back in shape within 2 weeks!
Exercise is a part of my life forever and so is making good food choices!
