Conversations with the Inner Brat – Weigh In After the Storm

Angela Pea3 Comments

It’s Weigh In Day.  Which of course means Olivia starts in the moment I woke up this morning.

Oooooh!  You’re going to get it!  You have to step on that scale today!

Yes, Olivia, I know. And by the way, we’re going to walk to the meeting.

WALK?  Are you nuts?  It’s cold! Really, really cold!

Not cold enough to stop us, Olivia.  Besides, the sun is shining! Isn’t it grand?

Yeahbut, last week you didn’t get any serious exercise except for Monday because of the ice and snow.  And you ‘indulged’ in a lot of treats.  Like Italian Wedding Soup.  And tortilla chips.  And beer!

I know, Olivia.  That’s why today we’re facing the music, embracing our defeat.  We’re stepping on that scale and moving on.

As we’re waiting in line…

Just tell the nice lady we don’t want to weigh in today.  Just to listen to Terri, share with everyone else and discuss the topic.

No, Olivia. I’m taking off my shoes right now.

[She Steps on the Scale.]

 Zero.  No loss, no gain.

     We’ll take it.

Flogging 101

What I’ve Learned by Flogging
by Angela Pea
1. I cannot lie to myself. There is no cheating in flogging because it will show on my ass and then Husband and Teen Daughters will KNOW! (Teen Sons don’t care. Actually Husband doesn’t care, either, but I DO.)
2. I eat when I’m bored or stressed out. And that stress thing happens a lot when you’re a Wife and Mom to four teens who also happens to work full time.
3. I am too old to remember stuff anymore. Which means…
4. I have to keep my Flog at hand. When I used paper, I carried it everywhere. Now I’m electronic, and can access the Flog whenever I’m by a computer. I slapped an app onto my phone to use on the go. I use it religiously.
5. There is no going back. Once a Flogger, always a Flogger. But that’s okay. I can live with that.
