JenP, I'll be ~~ma-ing at you fiercely.

Daniel, I'm sorry your first day at work was so full of asshattery.

Punctuation and ~ma to JenP, Cindy, and Erin. Still ~ma going out to Teppy's dad, and sj and vw.

Daniel, that sounds like a horrible day. My sympathies.

Oh, so many people with badness right now. Jen, Cindy, Erin--you are all in my thoughts. In a non-stalker way.

So I had my annual yesterday, in conjunction with my bronchitis diagnosis. My physician, who I really do like, said that given my height and weight, my bmi is 35, and that I am "significantly obese." She says that to me every year, and I always consider it to be a crock of shit. She continued: "We really like to see people at your height aroun 155 pounds." (I'm at 218, give or take, right now.) "Do you think that's a possible goal for you?"

I looked at her incredulously. "Not with my current lifestyle and schedule, no."

She sort of half-smiled. "Well, what about 175? Could you work towards that?"

By this point I'm trying not to roll my eyes. Sure, I could lose fifty pounds, if I didn't have class, work, clubs and orgs, a social life, and my unhealthy attatchment to my computer. "I am going to the gym now," I said in a desperate bid to distract her from this course of action.

"Oh good. Anaerobic exercise is great for the heart, lungs, (some other stuff). But you should really work on getting your weight down."

Please. I can't imagine what I'd look like with fifty pounds off my frame. Frankly, I think it wouldn't be terribly healthy for me, and I don't think I'd see me were I to look in the mirror. I like myself right now, extra baggage and all. Where the hell would I lose it from anyway?

JenP, I'm sending good thoughts up the highway to you!

I'm procrastinating cleaning/cooking for my party tomorrow. I took the whole day off so I have plenty of time. Right? Right?

Rolling my eyes forever, SA. And biting my tongue on the fucking BMI rant.

Oh, and on the weight loss subject -

I haven't been doing well at all on getting back into the healthy eating thing, and I really need to. I have shitloads of clothes and nothing that fits, and I'm just feeling really gross right now.

But. Somehow in this most recent cycle of weight gain, I seem to be developing an ass. I come from a long line of flat-asses, so this is really a new thing, and I'm kind of pleased. (Seriously. We were at the state fair a couple of summers ago and my dad coughed and his pants fell down. True story.) So now I have to figure out exercise/diet solutions that will get rid of my big fat belly but keep some of the junk in the trunk. Must ponder.

I feel dirty just remembering enough to start this post, but I swear Jessica Simpson had some butt-enhancing workout tips after her Daisy Duke foray last year, or whenever.

You could google.

No, not really.

No, not really.

At anyone but ita, I would just leave it at the first line. ita scares me though, so she can have all the embarassing knowledge she wants.

The ballet plie wide stance does wonders for the butt. (lived around body focused ballet people for years)
