Eyes on the Hourglass

A few weeks ago I wrote a post about how I finally realized “for sure” that the main reasons I over eat are because I’m either bored or lonely. Most of the time it’s both.

Since realizing this I have been making an effort to get out more and reconnect with old friends  and new ones too.   I realized I need a huge social circle around me so I’m never lonely and always have something to do so I’m never bored. 

What happens though when you reconnect with friends?

You eat.

Dammit!!!!

I can’t win, I stay at home and become a hermit and I eat. I go out with friends and I  eat. Freak’in isn’t  fair I tell ya.

Sooooo, this girl who is learning about balance is really going to have to be careful, because with BBQ dinner dates planned, and camping trips coming up, I don’t want to go crazy and inhale all that is available in front of me. God knows I’ve done that before and it isn’t pretty!

I have to say though, I wouldn’t change things even with  food taughting me at every turn.  I have had soooo much fun reconnecting with my friends.  It’s like the good old days except we’re all bigger. We’ve all “Blossomed” as my friend said. LOL…I loved that. I’ve just blossomed in the last 10 years.   I haven’t gained 80lbs of lard from lack of exercise and crap eating. I’ve just blossomed into the woman I am today.

So next time you’re thinking of sharing the fact that you’ve  gained a  crap load of weight, just tell people instead you’ve just blossomed a bit. Trust me, it will make you smile.
