SINCERELY FRO ME TO YOU- This may be the reason I think I'm so fat.

I believe this was the summer of 1984 and I was 11 years old. I ate burgers and fries almost on a daily basis and could not gain a pound if I tried. I spent most of my days out in the sun and would be brown as a bear and kept a tan until December. I continued to look like this until about my sophomore year of school when I started drinking a lot of (not Mt. Dew.) but Coke. Really put the weight on me.

Aw, those were the days! I sure wish I had that metabolism today.

Unknown said...: I never looked like that. Even when I was little. ALWAYS a round apple. When I was in 5th grade I asked for a diet for my birthday. And I got one EVERY. SINGLE. YEAR. after that. And I stayed fat.

Thinking about it makes me want to cry sometimes!; May 23, 2009 at 11:53 PM

THE BLOGGERS PRAYER

Lord help me to learn to spell without spellcheck,
manage to visit all that visit me, and post regularly -
all in 5 minutes a day, so that I can clean house
and take care of my family.
Help me to not look at every occurrence in my life as a blog post, and to quit taking pictures of weird things to share as well. Please Lord, help me to stop talking about my blog friends as though they are next door neighbors or someone I have known all of my life.
And help me dear Lord, to think of something witty and wise to post tomorrow.
