So I'm looking at the pictures from our company launch (btw, a friend and I started a new company called Tanit). There I am flipping or rather clicking through pictures thinking "the food was so good," "everyone seemed to have enjoyed themselves," "oh look, speeches," "I wonder who the chubby chick is next to my partner--wait."
That's right, I was madame tubby!
You know, I must have excellent self esteem or a trick mirror at home, because the woman in the mirror at home never looks so... well frankly, so wide. Fortunately, the one on the other side of the mirror can do something about this.
Today after my last meeting, I decided to walk. Hubby man and I are sharing a car (his died), and rather than wait for him at the interpretation assignment site, I decided to see how far I could get before he exited the highway.
One known car stopped to offer me a ride, three unknown cars signaled to see if I was ok, and several smiled at me compassionately. Walking in Dallas is freakish... and this ladies and gentlemen is why we're one of the fattest cities in the country.
Well, my butt is no longer contributing to this statistic!

Good for you! Keep on moving ;)
ReplyDeleteI did a little walking in Dallas recently. I sidled my ride up to a parking meter on Jackson St. and hoofed my way to the Hyatt Regency (Reunion Tower). It was a GORGEOUS May day, only slightly sticky, yet I was alone. Okay, not completely alone, but the pack of three men walking near me don't count since they were speaking a different language, and not with Texas accents either.
ReplyDeleteOh, and I sympathize with the whole "who's that girl?" in the pic phenomenon.
I've been walking more around my neighborhood. The looks of confusion are dying down and the number of people on the street is increasing--well, some. So instead of two people on foot, there are four. What a boom, right?
ReplyDeleteAnyway, I really have noticed more people walking. Perhaps it's the increase in health-related campaigns. Is that too hopeful?
