It's Talk To Us Tuesday, IA and I are glad you came by, we love all of our TTUT friends!
I'm taking about my fluffiness today which is not a real fun topic but whatever.
I think I have finally come to terms with the fact that I will never be a rock hard size 6. There is always going to be more than a little wiggle in my step and something is always going to be moving when I'm not in motion. I need to learn to accept that as painful as it is!
As much as I say I'm going to start moving the jiggly parts I find some lame excuse to stop working out after about 2-3 weeks. I feel good when I work out and it's good for so much more than just my physical appearance but I just can't stick with it. I eat healthy for the most part but I do love to indulge in adult beverages on the weekends which as we all know comes with a price.
I think that at almost 42 I should be ok with the way I look. The only person I need to impress has seen me naked in a variety of sizes for almost 20 years and he's still here, shouldn't that be all that matters? I think it's time to embrace my inner fluffy and just move on. Time to look in the mirror and see past the cellulite, stretch marks {thanks girls!}, and lunch lady arms. Its time to say I don't give a rats ass!
I know the drill, eat less, move more. Some form of cardiovascular exercise at least 5 times a week for at least 30 minutes. No soda, limited sugar and carbs, sweets and crap in moderation. Yes, I know it all but I don't like it! All of the stuff I love is bad for me. All of you naturally skinny, "I really don't like that stuff" people really irritate the piss outta me and can kiss my white, peanut butter and honey eating, dimply ass!
I had such high hopes to be a smaller, firmer me when I see my girls next month and well, that's just not going to happen. Once again I will be relying on my ability to dress for my body shape and use my height and incredible charm to keep the emphasis off of all my fluff! I'm counting down the days girls...16 days!
Do you think I could loose 16 pounds in 16 days and still be able to enjoy an in flight drink with IA JK without getting arrested? A reenactment of The Bridesmaids is not something I care to do, although it would make for some pretty funny blogging!
Your turn....what are you talking about today?

Just so you know, you're not fluffy and I know this because I've seen you in a bathing suit IN YOUR HOT TUB and your body is rockin!
I have a love/hate relationship with exercise and my diet. I wish I had the mindset that eating is only for energy...not pleasure but eating has always been for pleasure for me. I had 3 mini Twix's tonight and I don't feel bad either.
I can't wait to see you in 16 more days! I am IN NEED of some girl time!
xoxo
yay for the fluff! I don't see it on you, personally. I've worked out. I've worked my ass off. But I never ever felt good after working out. I always felt sick and just exhausted. that whole 'euphoria' (did I spell that correctly?) feeling so many talk about...that has never happened for me. I think you're gorgeous so there!
my fluffy isn't inner. It's all over the outside!
And I meet Vivienne in 2 days! I hate meeting new friends when I haven't made any progress...boo!
But you know you are gorgeous, and are going to have a fab time. Like IA, I eat for pleasure. It's just how I roll (as in fat rolls).
I'm more chunky than fluffy. and I just can't get back to the gym becuz my outter fat girl has my inner skinny chick in a headlock and is being held down on the couch.
and my swap buddy... well I give up. Thanks for trying anyway. I will not let this deter me from future swaps.
Oh I feel the pain... eat less move more... while I do hate it, it does work. UGh. Good luck to us all!
I loathe exercise!
And please no Bridesmaids re-enactments on the plane!
I guess it's all about how much you want to hold yourself accountable; I was terrible about it so I just made a plan and crossed off days. It's worked, but I have 10 more pounds to go!
Fluffy? You? Nah, I don't believe it. You know every woman I know hates exercising and dieting. Count me as one of them. But, we continue to torment ourselves because we or at least I don't want to go down with the sinking ship so-to-speak.
One day, I won't feel like it or won't be able to exercise. For now, I'll keep at the fight. One day, I won't care what I eat or won't be able to eat. For now, I'll live by a healthy menu with a few indulgences every now and then.
I'm healthy and want to remain like this until I take a dirt nap. My poor grandparents had/have so many health related issues. The quality of life in the elderly who have not taken care themselves is sad and scary. I don't want any part of that when I get old, which may be never because dah, I don't wanna be old.
It's funny, I once thought 50 was old. Guess what? Now that I'm 50, it's not so old after all. lol. Age is a mindset and I want to keep my body feeling youthful as long as I can.
My hat is off to you, if you can embrace your inner fluff and be happy doing it then go for it!
Read today's post: Do you tweet? Photo editing.Blogger.Light at the end of the tunnel. Laughter is the best medicine.
You just need to stand/sit next to me. I'm fluffier than you are and I'll make you look skinny!
It's all in dressing the body you have not the body you want to have. Good dressing can camouflage the bumpy parts quite well.
Oh dude, do I hear you! I feel great when I exercise, but I always end up falling off the wagon and it's all for nothing. I love food too much to stay on a strict diet, despite valiant attempts in the past. I'm just going to have to accept me for me. Unfortunately, I'm husband-less...and my "fluffiness" is not helping me find one!!! ;)
What?? YOu don't want us to get escorted off the plane in BFE and stuck on a Grey Hound??
Should we put a limit on the tiny bottles??
Besides all of that, you ARE NOT FLUFFY!!! What the hell ever. You look amazing at 42 or 22 or any other age! Smokin' hott. Seriously.
You're beautiful. :)
And I want you to reenact the bridesmaids...please!!!
I think you look fabulous!
A reenactment of Bridesmaids would make a great blog post!
I'm younger than you and bigger than you I don't wanna hear it... :)
Love you :)
I wish I could take that attitude. I am tired of a fluffy middle. I want my solid size 6 back, also. I was even going to try this week long veggie/fruit diet I found that would "shed 17 lbs in a week". After eating lunch and thinking about it... I decided it wasn't for me... LOL
Girl I don't think anyone would ever call you fluffy! I don't care if I really lose any more weight- I just want the weight that is in my gut to go back up top to the girls. All of the said weight distribution is the wrong place thanks to my kids.
i've come to terms with the fact i will always be "The Fat Girl" no matter what I try I just can't seem to make the body understand that it needs to be thin and tones so i figure why stress when I can just eat chocolate and be happy
