Can't wait for the weekend
I am leaving this morning for a fun-filled weekend with my two sisters in the Twin Cities. A weekend filled with shopping, eating and taking in Mamma Mia! at the Orpheum. I cannot wait! Last year, when we did our sisters weekend, I was nervous about the eating part of the weekend and worried about

Tuesday, my son and I headed to St. Cloud to pick up a pair of "throwing" shoes for him. He's throws shot put and discus in track. On the way, my car broke down. Fortunately, it was five minutes from an exit. It was my water pump - it seized up causing the belt the get all mangled up and t

Yesterday, my hubby and I were doing a little grocery shopping and about halfway through, I wanted to run out of the store - literally. We stopped there after work and before we had supper. Yes, my stomach was empty and yes, it is always a bad - very bad - idea to go to the grocery store when you a
Posted by: Confessions of a Fat Girl on Mar 6, 2010 at 10:05 AM | Confessions of a Fat GirlAnd people thought I was bold, brave
When I started my blog more than a year ago, many people - friends, co-workers, family, strangers - thought I was brave for sharing my story. But I didn't think so. First of all, when I started my blog, I was an anonymous person. I didn't tell anyone who I was. Yes, there were a few people who figur
Posted by: Confessions of a Fat Girl on Mar 5, 2010 at 7:15 AM | Confessions of a Fat GirlMy average weight loss? .8 pounds per week
Why is it that when women decide they need to lose weight, they want - or expect - it to come off super fast and super easy? We - as in women and men, too - need to get real about this. Most of us didn't put the weight on overnight. It slowly packed on and then one day, it seemed as though all of s
