Today I'm motivated by the thoughtless comments made by men and the way we women sometimes decide to interpret them... Poor farm hand he's too young to even realize what he's said.
Today has been a good day. We've been moving the kids beds around. Peanut is graduating to the crib, little man will graduate to a car bed as soon as I get a mattress, and.. I'm putting all the things peanut is getting to big for back in storage. Maybe now it won't look like babies r us threw up in our living room. When you're baby can reach over in his swing and pick up his own toy off the floor.. you know he's graduated to a non-swing kind of world.
So while doing all of this I was wearing some old jeans that well.. Just aren't comfy. They're too tight around the waist and a little too high on the hips and I just cant move in them. As if wearing jeans that are too tight isn't motivation enough the comment I got in my yoga pants and nursing tank were. The farmhand came in to change and I was walking around the corner. Scared the crap out of him. His reaction. Ah God! Put some clothes on! Sounds bad right? At least I heard it that way. Like OMG woman don't show that much skin! But I know he has a phobia to the whole nursing thing. It freaks him out. Or maybe just seeing his bosses wifes boobs freaks him out. Whatever. The bad part is I'd like for someone to see me half dressed and not tell me to put clothes on. I don't care if it's the mailman. I want a kickass body that I can walk around in a tank top and yoga pants and not scare the crap out of men. Yup yup. That is my motivation. It made me add up all my calories and realize I was already 100 over and it was only 4:30. So? I got my butt on the freaking elliptical for 30 minutes with peanut until he passed out. Now I'm going to do my squats, my planks, and those freaking pushups.
When I get down to 130 and can benchpress a small heifer then I won't care if he tells me to put my clothes on or not because I will know I look good. And also.. when he annoys me I can toss him into the nearest pile of steaming cow poop. Love the guy.. but he's an idiot.. and he needs his mouth duct taped shut.
Yesterday I squatted, I planked, and I did 10 minutes on the elliptical. No pushups still. Today? Already 30 minutes and I'm about to kick butt. Then I will have a kickin butt.. and then I will kick men's butts when they say retarded things without thinking.

I nursed six kids, yep SIX, and I can tell you, without hesitation, nothing makes you feel more like a small heifer. That farmhand is lucky you didn't deck him. Its impossible to feel sexy when you are dinner on demand. Someday though, when the hormones settle and lactation is a memory you will rock those yoga pants. Give em hell.

You are a beautiful woman and don't let anyone make you feel like you're not. Big Hugz and dang it--I wish I could do 1/4 of the exercises you did !

My ex and I had a farm and nursing our children freaked him out too. What is that all about? You would think they would get it! He was also into modesty, not that I dressed like a tramp, but he had a fit when I wore a tank top with my bibs because he thought people would think all I had on was the bibs. The tank tops were not flesh colored either. Hang in there woman, you are buff!

Geez... I laughed out loud, scared the cat, she went running. Poor boy, you have to laugh! I nursed all three of my darlings. Would do it again in a heartbeat. The last two were 18 months apart. Off one, on to the next! Of course, it was a more close minded era. I didn't have a single family member or friend support me. They thought I was too weird (or crazy :)) . A lot of pitfalls happen, but it is so worth it! Thanks for the laugh and the memories!! Happy Easter!!

Dear,
It’s good that you realize you need the change, even so it’s come from a sharp tongue. I advise myself every day just to be better me, I have to be better than yesterday then I plan for tomorrow. Don’t let some rubbish or trash struggle your way. It’s hard to keep on this track, family support is one source of motivation but I think it’s not enough, at one point it will collapse, I believe this fat-secret is one important source of my transformations. Every time I read a thread with a story like yours I get fired up.
I want to say I am here to support you and all the members as well.

My sister is 2 years younger than me. She weighs about 60lbs less, she dyes her hair (I began going grey at 21 and remain grey from choice, it's a lovely silver) She has been married 3 times. I have now been married to the same man for 43 years. We had a party and she arrived in a slinky black suit, all glam, and one of our male friends said out loud to my DH that he married the wrong one..... :(
Me and my sister went to my Father's flat (where we grew up) to clear it out when he became too ill to live there. I had spent 10 weeks travelling two hours a day, 4 times a week, to visit my Father in hospital, then he came to live with us and my sister was gadding about (between marriages) not helping out looking after him, except rarely when it suited her. A neighbour came in and looked so shocked when she saw me that her first comment was "Have you been ill". Afterwards my sister said she had felt so sorry for me. Which made me feel even worse because I have had conversations with her where she talks about friends of hers who aren't as attractive as she is.... You fill in the gaps.
So its not just men. And that crap sticks. Sorry. :(
