Instead of doing the Friday Five this week, I thought we could do something a little different.

Gosh,lots and lots of reasons.I guess a few would be:

So I can be more active and playful with my kids

Just to feel healthier

If done within a reasonable time,maybe to have another child

to feel sexier for my DH

To go to Disney World! LOL - more broadly, to fully participate in the lives of my children. I've missed so many things, because I'm tired, out of breath and out of shape- I WATCH the skate, I WATCH them sled, I WATCH them ride horses etc.... I want to go to Disney World, keep up with them, fit on all the rides etc, as a symbol of everthing else I've mentioned.

OMG, that one hits home!! I hate to take my kids to Dairy Queen, because I know the booths are really squishy. And I was so embarassed a few months ago, because we went to Moxies, a restaurant with both booths and tables and chairs. The waitress started to seat us at a booth, then looked at me (my mid-section more specifically) and started to move to a table. I said "No thanks - we'll take the booth!" because I've been there before and know that I 'fit' - and I certainly appreciated the way she did it (she COULD have said something that would draw attention to it, and didn't!) but it was still humiliating to know that she wasn't *sure* I could sit there. I remember years ago, being a teenager and watching this severely overweight woman try to pack herself into a theatre seat and have to give up and stand at the back for the entire movie. At the time, I felt sorry for her but I was also horrified. I remember saying "Geez, TWO of us could fit in these seats! And did you see the family-sized tub of popcorn she was carrying? How can anyone let themselves GO like that?". Well - ha, ha - I think this is Karma, because now I KNOW how it can happen :-)
