All Things Considered..a De-Fat Journey Post

I've learned a lot in the last few weeks.  As one could clearly see, I hadn't posted worth a damn in the last 6 or so weeks.  Wait...hell...I don't remember. OH YES I DID POST SOMETHING!

Ooooooh...






WELL!

I guess I'll go on with my thoughts because apparently, if I do not blog them, I will lose them.

ON TO THE POST!

You know what I've learned in the time that I've been fat?  I've learned that people really do think they know you based on your body.  I think I've finally accepted that this is simply a way of life if you are over a certain BMI or ideal (as based upon the person looking at thine ass).  I got yet another message from a person who didn't like my Tumblr posts about eating and living healthier...and it was based upon "looking at your pics" and "seeing that you obviously aren't doing what you say" because "you'd totally be skinny by now".





I didn't read her the riot act like I read the dude with hypertension..but I simply suggested that she unfollow because I was not going to hide what I learned in order to appease her.  I also told her that if she was dumb enough to use pics of me to determine if I'm "healthy" that I didn't need her readership any damn way.

It's so damn funny and commonly accepted that you can nail a person's entire health history with a look at the exterior.  I wonder why that's okay?  Has the Biggest Loser desensitized people into thinking that every overweight person drinks 5 two liters o' Mountain Dew..



..or Mountain Holler if funds are low..

..or that every single person bigger than that rapper with the hair and the ass is that way because they don't eat well or they don't exercise.

I know I've blogged about that before, but it's incredible just how insane it is to exist as a fat person in this damn country these days.  I mentioned some blogs ago how I was teased at every turn and I know it won't change, even as I lose weight.  I'm sure people will suddenly like to hang with me because I'm not The Fat Friend...





..but not know that I'm still who I am..just a lot lighter with a lot less foot pain.

I hate to bring up how incredibly asinine it is to assume you know someone by such changeable features as your body size.  I get tired of having to cite examples of not-as-fat fokes suffering from ailments stereotypically put in the category of "Shit Fat Fokes Die From".  Maybe I should just stop.

Alas, if I shut up now, I won't be making a difference.

So I sip this Nekkid Juice that I'm SURE somebody spit in..

Why I Decided On Surgery..De-Fat Posting

Okay so this is going to be one of those posts that will result in somebody being butthurt.  I have no earthly idea why because it means said butthurt soul would be that way for something unrelated to them. Yes, I have had Gastric Bypass Surgery...and no, I do not regret it one bit.  I also don't think it's up to anyone to tell me the following (in a completely unsolicited manner): *Who had it and regretted it *Who had it and had a gang of wrinkles, extra skin or whatnot *What they think of people who have weight loss surgery Why? Because... Yes, these memes help me be a snarky bastard yet keep the mood light. Before I go any further, I am not a jerque.  I am not someone who walks around with a perpetual attitude and my nose turned up at everyone.  I don't have disdain for people's opinions and I do accept that I am not the only person in the world.  I can discuss things and be okay if you don't roll with me. ...

De-Fat Journey Thoughts for 7/9/12

Image
I need my ass WHOOPED for the last five days!!! I know I didn't do right. I feel kind of bad because I wasn't intending on being as sedentary on the holiday week.  I threw down the last three days on the fie barbecue, had some brownies, drank a gang of tea...UGH! Honestly, I'm alternating between emotions right now.  Do I get on my own ass for not doing right or do I applaud myself for progress thus far?  Do I acknowledge that 20 pounds of weight lost is great or do I get mad that it's not more? Well..I will not allow myself to go back to a slump about this.  I know I want to do more, and I know that I'm gathering more info to do better.  So I will give myself a shout out for still having the desire to work out and live better. Since I have never been on this type of journey before, it's still processing for me.  I have to fight the mental mind...in short, I have to be mindful that progress is progress...even if it isn't what I want it to be....

Depressed, Compressed, Oppressed, Suppressed, Damn Pressed.

I been battling depression the last month, yall. I haven't really had any motivation. I've spent the last thuddy days aggressively applying for job after job. I only got on my computer for applying. I've tried everything from receptionist to material handler and nothing has worked. I found myself getting angry. I began getting offended. I channeled my David Ruffin a la Temptations Movie and began yelling "YOU UNGRATEFUL SONS OF BITCHES" at rejection emails. I got bitter. I began feeling the urge to reply to the individuals who told me that "my experience was impressive" but they found someone "whose experience more closely matched" doing exactly what I did at my old gig. I drove up to one place that famously had me waiting FOUR HOURS only to have the owner interview someone who came in later than I did and pass me on to the other admin assistant...and fought the urge to go in and ask for him. Oh yes, children..heffer was GUN hot. Then I r...
