Fear and (Self-)Loathing in Folsom?...

Had a reunion with the Henkle side of the family today at Aunt Cathy's... So amazingly wonderful! If I weren't related to those people, I would fight hard to make them my friends! It is scary though, how many of us there struggle with weight issues. When it comes to me, I just joke around about it mostly. Like with everything. But I am sensing a new trend...I hate to see myself in pictures. When the opportunity exists to sit in a booth, I tend to opt for a separate chair... I make the joke about it before anyone else can make a sarcastic comment. It isn't healthy. I didn't get to attend the SC reunion with my friends, but when I saw them taken in a photo together, I was glad I didn't, frankly. They looked terrific- not aged beyond their years. Frankly, I gotta prioritize things differently, or I am going to die. And I'm not ready to die yet. And moreover, if I die, Tiff is going to kill me.

I am about positivity, motivation, and straight talk in ALL OTHER aspects of my life. All of my work in my adult life is about helping people get real. Why not this?
