I'm telling you, blog... this eating business is getting totally out of hand. I haven't eaten this much since I was pregnant. I can NOT stop. Food - sugar - has always been my drug.
I'm an emotional, compulsive overeater! The obese clothes I had thrown into a storage bin have been dragged out. seriously! So... this means I'm going to have to wear and take a couple of obese outfits --- then my fat clothes! --- then my 'regular' clothes... the opposite end of the spectrum ... clothes before my regular fat clothes --- I tossed about 3 moves ago.
Even if I could ever get back in them... they'd look pretty silly on an old woman...blood red suede mini skirt with matching fringed vest? ... or hot pants ... oh, lord remember hot pants? I liked the skirt kind of hot pants.... forget what you called them ... I had a bunch of those guys ... one piece that zipped with flared short bottoms... Hahaaaa... yeah - finally threw them away
Since I'm going to have to take 47 different sizes, I need more clothes to take then as I command the fat to begone... I'll toss said obese wear then the fat clothes.
I had a brilliant but short lived epiphany - instead of just the air mattress, I thought I'd retrieve my cot. I stored stuff underneath. I traveled with it for many months and my only complaint was the width... and now? there's even less width. Sooooo... I'll stick with my air mattress. I have got to cull the clothes.... guess I could lay the regular clothes underneath the mattress.... sure would keep them pressed! sigh
What teevee program was it... somewhere sometime there ... what? was that.... you went in a contraption and one way and came out another way...
well.... now I've done it... I'll have to ponder this... vague memory of such... Sonny and Cher sketch? Dr. Seuss? Willy Wonka? rats
Sure wish there was a box I could sit in and dial whatever pounds I wanted off... It would be free if I were to promote it. It would take about 3 hours ... and I'd come out all slim and such --- if I wanted the deluxe treatment - I could pay $50 and my wrinkles would go away ... another $20 and my hair would be back to brunette ...
Somebody ought to invent something like that. I'm not good at mathematics or I'd give it a shot.... surely it would have to be a mathematical problem ... I mean we went to the moon... a project for Shark Tank!
I'm aware that men have been trying to figure out women since Eve and I was sent this equation to prove the problem has been solved....
Surely the same can be done for a ride through body do over....
Can you take the clothes you can wear now, and then box the rest according to size. You could store the boxes in a closet or basement and have your son mail a box to you when you go down in size. I sure wouldn't try to travel with all my clothes unless I had a really big RV for just me only. Even then, I think I'd store some things and not carry them along.
ReplyDeleteI could, Gypsy... I've got one under the bed kinda storage container that I said ... I will put the clothes I really want to keep in that and when it gets full? toss... I tossed a huge bag of clothes today...
ReplyDeleteThat's the biggest headache ... I do not want to tote a bunch of stuff! and I'm not... I don't have anything that's not replaceable... I have oversized blouses/shirts that I wear that hide the rolls..
The other stuff? bah - I keep telling myself just get in Homer and go... slap some stuff in and hook 'em...
sigh
Hope you get a great night's sleep! I do.
I used to recite that little verse to my husband because it disturbed him. When our son came along, I would sing him songs about eating his toes, and that upset my husband, too.
ReplyDeleteHaaaa… I used to get m'crew to do my bidding by threatening to sing O Sole Mio… Hah!
ReplyDeleteaw… little baby toes are to be eaten … gooood with a little almond butter…
Disturbing one's husband can be fine entertainment with practice.
I know it's really 11:25 and not 12:25 but it sure feels like the latter...
g'night ol blog ol buddy ol pal and Roxanne.. ;)
Hi there Carolyn, you are getting so very close to leaving and I'm sure it's the stress that's pushing you to gain weight. You'll loose as soon as you're on the road. The big stress will be gone.
ReplyDeleteI woke up around 2:00am and couldn't get back to sleep so I'll have to nap for sure this afternoon.
Love the singing cat. You always find some real cute stuff. JB
Skorts and sneetches? The "shorts" and the contraption that removed or placed stars on their bellies depending on their need to conform... Not a problem for you. You're already outside the box and moving on...
ReplyDeleteI'm so happy and excited for you. I'm along for the vicarious ride. :)
I think and hope so, Julia… I plan on a day's fast when I leave to just give my overworked psyche a rest… I want to make it to m'mountain and just … well … say thank you… ;)
ReplyDeleteI hate ~ HATE waking up like that! Did you just get up and do something or lie there and be miserable… hate it…
Years ago the Kliban cat was all the rage… I don't know what made him pop into my head… I never know what will pop up in there ~ keeps me amused with me … I bought an apron for a pal who loved to cook with that cartoon on the front. She wouldn't wear it and even chastised me for getting it for her! damn thing was about $25 -- this was in the late 60s or early 70s… that was a LOT of money!
"You know how much I love animals…! how could you buy me something like that!"… HAHaaa… I like friends like that…
Well? I would certainly think a nap is in order!
Teresa! yes… HAHaaaa that was it… little yellow guys… good ol Dr. Seuss! thank you!
ReplyDeleteoh, good - glad to have you come along. I love reading about your travels too. I definitely want to see the region you wrote about.
I went through Utah -- Salt Lake City -- this was one of the times I drove across country but was young and had to work ~ which always put a wrinkle in my gypsyness… I tend to think of colors when I go someplace and Utah is white and blue with green.
I remember eating in a diner in Salt Lake and the waitress was aghast! aghast I say … that I was a lone female… Haaaa… I got/get that a lot … I thought she was going to call the police!
I was a dippy young thang… but it was beautiful there! The history was also interesting. Even at my young dippiness ~ I was always so curious about stuff and the hows and whys ~ a salt lake in the middle of nowhere.
Having never been a desert type of kid … it's going to be interesting to revisit a lot of places that I just spent a few hours in.
One place that I pooh poohed ~ I would NEVER do tourist stuff… was the Grand Canyon… WHAT an adventure… want to go back there too. Grand Tetons - Yellowstone! what kind of person has never been to Yellowstone! or Yosemite!
So much to see ~ money money money money… bah!
Oh just toss those clothes out the window as you go along & lose weight! And go buy new ones!!
ReplyDeleteOne of my fears is that I have to munch when I drive. I'd better buy carrots & celery & things like that...
Well… I don't want to litter. haaa…
ReplyDeleteI do plan on just taking as I've preached ... just basics. I can get more 'stuff' at resale shops which I do love to go to....
I really don't get hungry while I'm traveling. I won't buy anything to keep in Homer. Only water and nuts. I can munch on some walnuts and I'm cool. I will keep a case of water in the floorboard of the front passenger side seat.
A special 'treat' will be some carbonated caffein! I like Diet Pepsi or a Sonic Diet Limeade ... I even limit those because they will increase my appetite... it doesn't take much! sigh
I do love to have breakfast while traveling. If I have a good one… I really don't get hungry the rest of the day. My fat cells do, however scream…. BUT I have better control over them when I'm out and about and exploring and such.
It's only when I see a dedicated cupcake shop or street vendors with all that horrible fried thises and thats! that I go bats… rats
That cartoon at the top is hilarious! It can't be all bad when you can find some humor. I know you're serious about the topic, but I love the way you present it. Good luck--you'll be fine, I know!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the vote of confidence, Galen ... and yes... my sense of humor keeps me moving!... ;)
