Guest guest Posted April 24, 2003 Report Share Posted April 24, 2003 Now I have been working towards this goal for a long time. Last Christmas season I was so disgusted with taking my kids skiing and sitting in the lodge and watching them ski, not to mention scared to death that I didn't know where they were on the mountain, that I made them a promise. I promised by this year I would lose enough weight to go skiing with them. Well, I have been putting it off, but ski season close the 27th, so I guess PPHHEEEWWW..I have a couple of sayings, but nothing does it so much as PHEEEEW. So, my son is going on an overnight with his 4th grade class and my daughter and I are going to go skiing. I don't know why I had fear about this. I lived the last three months in fear about this. But that is all bogus. I have spent the last year in the gym training, I am fit, I love speed, this is going to be awesomwe. Gung ho on the bunny hill!!!! It's so strange how sometimes our preconceptions of who we are and what we can do can actually make us fearful to go beyond. But we KNOW we can. Just like me now. Every time I told people that I, at 45 was going to ski at the first time, people would say stupid ass things like " well, don't go do a Sonny Bono " or you are going to hurt ooh my God be careful not to break anything. How much damage can you do on the bunny hill anyway? It would have been nice if someone would have said " Good for you, go for it " and it would have been even nicer if someone said " You can do it, You've earned it. You're going to have a fantastic time " . Oh well. One thing we learn in this journey is that WE DO IT FOR OURSELVES. We can't depend on others for approval or support. Sometimes the people who you thought were the closest to you turn against you. That happened with my stepmother, as some as you may know. She HATES that I am now a smaller size than she is. You would think she would be happy that I am healthy, but no, this has caused a major rift. Well, we all have to deal with these things. I am shifting from my role as the fatttest person in the family to somewhere else. Weight loss just doesn't effect the person who loses weight, it upsets the balance of the whole family. We should all recognize that because we are more educated in this field than the others. And by the way, I am much too happy to hold a grudge.
