The last 20 years have been a whirlwind and just like a
tornado picks up, trash, houses and even cows along the way, Skinny Girl has
picked up quite a bit of trash of her own leaving her wearing a completely
unrecognizable fat suit that, on the darker side of 50 is time say, “It’s been
real, I wish you could stay but you
can’t. “
I have always been skinny, not just thin, bone skinny. The girl, even your bestie made fun of for
having a boy chest. I could shop in the
boy’s department for those high dollar accessories like that 80’s Members Only
jackets, remember those? I got a secret
thrill because they were ½the price in the boy’s department.
I graduated high school weighing in at 110lbs. College Skinny Girl got to eat all the junk
food she wanted in the great state of Alabama where you didn’t go a single week
without eating something fried. My
weight often fluctuated between 110 and 118 possibly due to the fact that our
campus was across the street from a Krispy Creme, but I digress. My whole young life I never understand the”
Fat Factor.” I had a clear understanding of the skinny girl factor when you are
a skinny girl you know important things like wearing bracelets keeps that bone sticking out of
your wristfrom being so noticeable. You
never can get your bra strap tight enough because it is going to fall off your
bony shoulders anyway. She knows to always wear the removable strap on her
strapless swimsuit because not doing so and then jumping into the pool can give
your fellow Christian college classmates a complete visual of what Mardi gras
bead collecting must be like. Why is
it that could I eat 2 candy bars, mashed potatoes and fried chicken drizzled
with honey and others could look at a candy bar and gain enough to burst their
buttons? Yea I understand Skinny Girl
it’s just her new outfit I’m having an issue removing.
They say life changing events are often the cause of drastic
weight fluctuations. Living on French
fries and chocolate shakes, in my 20’s my weight plummeted to an unhealthy skinny
girl 103lbs. We all have those friends who gain weight when they are stressed
out and depressed. I was the other kind. I was so stressed I didn’t eat, I
survived, I was that hollow eyed, sunken cheek skinny girl. I was going through a divorce. I stayed that tiny even when I started eating
normally again crazy metabolism. I remarried
in 91 and tried for 7 long years trying to have that first child. Finally, in 1996 weighing a moderate138lbs, Skinny Girl had a beautiful 6lb 9oz daughter and so also birthed, flabby
belly and booty, as well as the massive breast feeding boobies, Thank You baby girl. Now late into my 20’s rapidly closing in on
thirty,Skinny Girl lost all the baby weight thanks to breast feeding, working
full time and being a semi-single mother and as my husband at the time went to work
in Alaska while my baby girl was only 4months old. When he came home for her one year birthday I
was pre-baby weight feeling good about myself and wore that sleek black outfit
to her party. Nine months later baby number two, 168lbs and birthday number three
O. Skinny Girls story Is not intended to rub in how great Skinny Girl’s
metabolism was but to give you a background for the culture shock that was now
awaiting me on the other side of 30. I made it back to 130lbs, not too bad for
a mommy of two. Skinny Girl has no self -control you see Skinny girl didn’t
diet or exercise she didn’t have a clue about eating right taking care of her
body nor did she care to learn. Skinny Girl had grown into Thirty Plus Mommy
was doing Ok living life as a working
mother of 2 she wasfar too busy for such
nonsense, Thirty Plus Mommy still felt
like Skinny Girl.
Let’s take a moment to wiz through 1997 to 2003;We bought a
house, worked full time had a good life for all to see except for what you
could not see.
Moving on from 2003-2005, I opened my own business sank all
my savings and retirement into it, entered into
divorce number 2 much more
devastating than number 1 , lost our home, had to move, had a car accident,
lost my car and was sued, then the economy
crashed. Statistics show that just one
of these events can cause extreme stress and I got to have them all at
once. Stress causes cortisol which
according to the Relacore commercial causes belly fat. Each event added about 5-10lbs to my waistline,
but being so immersed in each event and believing that skinny girl was still
here, the pounds kept easing onto my hips my waistline, my face thighs arms and
even my fingers, until one day when I looked in the mirror imagine my surprise
to see this skinny girl in a fat suit. Where did this come from and how does
one begin to get it off. I had no
clue. I still forget I am wearing the
suit until I try something new and the size I chose doesn’t fit. I try to get off the couch or cut my toenails
and realize my belly is in the way. I
finally stopped squeezing into a 36C bra and tried on 10 different kinds of
double D. This is the girl that had no
waistline at all and had trouble keeping her pants up without a belt, Skinny
Girl. Diet is not something with which I have practice or experience. Once I did try Sugarbuster’s.I lost 7lbs over 7 months while every male around me lost
pounds and pounds lost , my brothers, my dad and my now ex-husband. What?
Oh yea the last chapter of the book says women don’t lose weight as well
as men on this diet. Thanks Sugarbuster’s
Author. Thanks for that! 
We eat too much and too often. Yes, I know, first world problem.
