The 5 Stages of (Dieting) Grief . . .

Thought this was cute! - I'm not quite fully in Stage 5 - but am looking forward to it!  :) Lorraine

1. Denial (the initial stage): "Nuh, uh, I’m not out of shape. Round is a shape.”
2. Anger: "Why me? It's not fair! Curse my parents and their vile genes!"
3. Bargaining: "Please, Mr. Scale, if you show I lost weight this week, I promise I won’t throw you out the window."
4. Depression: "What’s the point? Why bother with even trying?"
5. Acceptance: "Water, fruit and veggies are my friends."

Some heavy truths here!  Thanks for sharing!

I believe rectangular is a shape too!  You know broad shoulders and slimmer hips, I haven't seen that shape in a long time, but its coming round again!!

I wish I had my parents genes, I always knew the aliens left me here. 

My scale has become my friend, at last, but, if it gets out of line, I'm kicking it out of my bedroom.

Depression is what's made when I poke myself in the stomach

I accepted I was fat and out of shape a long time ago, I just now really made a commitment to end being the squishy aunt and grandma.

I used humor, but the truth is; I won't grieve my lost fat, I'm trying to help it on its way.  I'm going to celebrate.

Ha!  Susan - you're funny - I just found your response here!  Those are some good one-liners!
