Out here in chubby girl land dieting, exercise, and good health come up all the time. I would love for this to be one of those posts that I'm giving everyone some pearls of wisdom...it's not. There are so many different diets out there now a days, if you are thinking about a diet think about some of your weakness points and try to find a diet that can work with those. Exercise is always a question to think about bottom line start out slow and work up to those marathon runs. Good health is usually a top reason we diet or exercise. Follow your doctors advice about your sugar, or sodium, or whatever the situation is. Now here comes the closest advice I can give you to a pearl of wisdom...laugh. Laughter is what makes the world go around. It relieves stress helps with the health concept. Laughter burns a few calories, and it just makes life better. All of this being said I want to express some deep thought for a moment. As a chubby girl I ask myself how did I get here, because quite simply put if I don't figure out that I'm bound to get back here in chubby girl land. I've come up with this one I like food I truely appreciate a good meal. I try to figure out exactly what is put into a good meal and how it was made. Two I'm not a huge fan of exercising. And the last thing is I really feel that even if it is a season I was meant to be a chubby girl. Sometimes being skinny doesn't make us better people on the inside. I love myself more now than when I was 18 and skinner. I appreciate all people I'm not judgemental of their outter beauty. Sometimes you've got to walk through a valley before you can get to the top of a hill. Love yourself and be good to yourself and others around you. (picture is from an email I recently received.)

I've tried to attribute some psychological reason to my chubby girl status...maybe I'm angy, or sad. No, I'm not ultra emotional, to be honest. I think I've come to the same conclusion...I love food. Rich, chocholatey, sweet...love it! I think it's part of our southern heritage...
I love to exercise..but apparently, not enough...*sigh* oh well!
Walk through the valley? Honey - I've built myself a second home there! Stocked with all the goodies a chubby girl needs to survive, naturally!
Here's my take...I have healthy, happy kids. While yes, it is good to take care of yourself - chances are most of us do not have the time or emotional energy to do so when raising our offspring. This is too often a fact of life. A good meal comforts us, and provides us with that moment of "I really AM a good Mommy, and now I will partake in the physical goodness of this nurturing meal!" I will confess...I also feel the same way if we are eating McDonalds though :O)
okay, girls...love you all...just remember we want you girls around to take care of us! In 10 years you guys will be in your 40's and I'll be in my 60's...pray I stay in good health or I will be calling on you girls to take care of me...maybe you'll need to be in good health to do that! (Obviously I'm thinking of myself!)
Yes I hear ya mom.
