Mrs. Fatty McFatterson

Remember that time I lost 40lbs?! Yeah- that was awesome. I felt great, I slept well, I LOVED shopping for clothes and life was just better. Then I got cocky and thought I could take a break from dieting (not dieting... lifestyle change.... yeah) and have self control. Then I got fat again. Of course with fat comes unhappiness, aggravation and irritability. Everyone knows that when your thinner (I.E. HEALTHIER) you feel better about yourself- your happier and life is a little easier. I don't buy into fat chicks that say they LOVE their curves and love themselves just the way they are. You know when to classify yourself as a fatty when you're looking at people and immediately labeling them as "skinny bitches" That's when it should click that you, yourself are just not happy with your own weight. I remember when I was 40lbs lighter and when I saw those same "skinny bitches" I was thinking "wow, those are really cute jeans"

Last time I started the Fat Smash diet- It was baby weight that I needed to lose. This time- its just your all around stubborn fat. LIke real fat- the kind you get when you eat a lot. The only difference is that I'm already getting exercise with roller derby- and I've still managed to get fat again. So this time, I'll have to work extra hard and fill the week with more workouts.

THIS time, however, I'm not doing the Fat Smash diet. It would just be too hard- Aiden can't be on that diet and it would be too expensive to cook 2 separate meals every night... and lets face it, it's hard enough for me to cook ONE meal/night. So this time- I'm going with a "diet aid system" I dove right in and purchased "Reveal Extreme"

I'd like to have a different word for it OTHER than "Diet pills" but that is essentially what it is. Google it to learn more- I'm not typing it all in here. It is proven to work and there are many people right here in GF that have used it and have gotten great results. They even tell you that you don't have to diet and exercise and that you'd still lose weight- but C'mon, if I'm spending $225.00 on a weight loss System- I'm going all in, I'm putting all my eggs in one basket, Balls to the Walls if you will... I'm going to do it right with diet and exercise.

Yes, I said $225.00

No, I didn't know it was THAT much. However, I had just spend 1 hour in a dressing room on the verge of tears as I was trying on clothes for work and as I left the shopping area I was driving past Complete Nutrition AS the commercial was playing on the radio. It was a sign. Or at least that's what I was telling myself as I was parking and marching up to the store.

I got in the store, looked at the hot chick behind the counter and said "Give me your Shpeel about Reveal Extreme, I just spent and hour in a dressing room"

So she did. 15 minutes later- I was walking out with a 2 month supply of the separate bottles of this system.

Tomorrow is Day 1. And so it begins. She told me that 100% of people have results if they follow the regimen. I asked her if she was lying- she said no. I asked her if she was still lying and she said "Check back with me in 2 weeks, you can thank me then" So this system comes with their support. I have to go in there again in 2 weeks to talk about my progress. She said "Take out those jeans you want to fit into, try them on every day- in 2 months when they fit- buy yourself new jeans."

Damn she's good. (and hot, if I forgot to mention that part)

ooops, I think I blogged.

Testing? Testing? one. two. Check. Check.... One. Two.

*Clears throat*

Hi. It's been a while. I don't have a lot to say. Actually I'm sure I have plenty to say. However, because I am tired but wanted to sneak in a quick post here you go...

There was this girl that I thought was SOOOO cool. She was amazing, I wanted to be like her when I grew up. She is a roller girl. She was my girl crush. You know when you admire someone so much and you learn everything there is to know about them. I googled her, I e-stalked her. I liked the way she looked, I liked her style, I liked her attitude. About 3 years ago I went to my very first roller derby bout. I was hooked. As we practiced and practiced and got ready to play I kept thinking "I get to meet her, I get to talk to her"

Well... hello... she is just a girl. From North Dakota. Yeah, it was pretty silly.

It was my very first bout. She was there to play the main bout. I was all giddy and stupid when she kept passing by, skating during open skate. "Oh my, that's her, I get to talk to her, what am I going to say?" This was my internal monologue- it sounded much more awesome in my head.

Finally, we were all stretching and getting ready and she was sitting right across from me. I don't remember what everyone was talking about but I commented on how I liked her glasses. I asked her where she got them, they were very unique. (I really did like them) and she stopped smiling, looked at me and said "Pff.. I don't f*#king know... probably like a glasses store, where else do you get glasses" *eye roll* Later that evening we were at the after party and I was at a table, thanking some other girls for letting us be in the mixer- she looked over gave me another eyeroll and shook her head "Whatever, mixers take up way too much time, no one really comes until the second bout anyway so I don't even know why we have them"

At first I was like "OMG, why did I talk to her, wtf was I thinking! I'm not cool enough to talk to her like I'm her friend or something" Yes, I pretty much reverted back to being an awkward, ugly 8th grade girl. I stayed there... until a week ago.

Last weekend we played against Bemidji. There are also girls on that team that I admire. I like watching their A team play. For the more part- those girls are freakin' awesome. However, there are some girls on that team that aren't so nice. They were like little divas. They complained that everything we did was wrong. If that was the case, then how did we WIN?!

That is when it clicked

I was idolizing this girl for no good reason- only because I liked her style and the way she played derby. Then I realized that even though I may not be an A team player, I could probably hip check that bitch- I may not be AS good as her, but I'm pretty damn close. I could give her a run for her money.

She let me down and made me realize how silly it is that I thought she was cool in the first place. She's just a derby girl. From North Dakota. Just like me... except I'm a nice person (usually) and If someone were to compliment me and want to talk to me, I would take the time to at least say thank you.

The end.
