I’m taking the Honesty List Challenge!

May 6, 2007 · Print This Article

My fatbloggers family at
The Diet Pulpit
have put out a challenge for us to be honest about our true reasons for getting healthy and loosing the flab. Well I have about 100 reasons but I will try to limit it to 10…I am very strong on talking to and about myself in a positive and light-hearted way so I want to tell you about a few things that I am really looking forward to about being healthy, fit, happy and fabulously flabuless. Some of these I will eventually use for my ‘The Lighter Side’ cartoon strip…but I think, even without the illustrations you will get the general idea.

1. I look forward to…being ‘on top’ without my partner needing a snorkel. (VERY IMPORTANT REASON)

2. I look forward to…going to the gym and blending in with the rippling, muscle men and bouncing diva’s instead of feeling so damned conspicuous all the time. (who knows, maybe one of those muscle men might actually make a pass at ME)

3. I look forward to…walking up stairs/hills & mountains…without the ‘flab’ stubbonly refusing to follow.

4. I look forward to…Running without having to cross my arms (ie to stop my breasts from flying over each shoulder)

5. I look forward to…being able to talk about the starving children in africa without people looking at me as though I was the one the caused it. (yes…it happened to me)

6. I look forward to…seeing my bikini line again (the most difficult part of my week is shaving…sorry for the visuals)

7. I look forward to…Looking and feeling a little less like a sumo wrestler when naked (I still get horrified when I look at myself in the mirror)

8. I look forward to…putting away the anti rash cream (Nearly there)

9. I look forward to…Not having to hide the ‘frayed’ patch at the crotch of my favorite pants. (I just purchased a couple more…lets see how long they last)

10. I look forward to…The underneath of my bed, no longer being a safe zone for my naughty three year old son (hmmm…self explanatory)

Come on guys…I have shared with you mine…what are yours? Leave a comment and let me know.

    I still clearly remember the first time I realized my bikini area was visible. I was getting ready for work one morning and walked into the bedroom to grab my undies, passing the full-length mirror. I stopped for a second and looked at my reflection. Something was different, but I couldn’t place it. I stared at my naked relection for a moment before it hit me: My hoo-hoo was in plain sight! I didn’t have to lift my belly or contort myself; it was just there, clearly visible. The rush from that discovery had me on Cloud 9 for days.

    You’ll get there soon enough…and when you do, it will be incredible for you, too.
