It’s a Thin Line Between Skinny and Fat

I obsess about my weight. My friends and co-workers think I’m crazy. I say I haven’t been to the gym in three weeks and they say, “oh yeah, I can tell. You’re ballooning right up, you cow. Did you gain a quarter of an ounce?” But they don’t understand. I know I have a distorted self-image, but I think I do it the right way.

I weighed myself today-124 pounds. I’m 5’6″, so I’m slightly underweight if I use the old forumla (5′ tall=100 pounds and for every inch over 5′ add 5 pounds) that was told to me in middle school to figure out how much I should weigh. I weigh 4 pounds more than I did a month ago.

I used to weigh myself everyday.

Soda Debate

My husband is very anti-soda and pro-water. I’m a soda addict. I drink the stuff from the second I get up in the morning until I go to sleep at night. I periodically wake up during the night so I keep a glass of soda next to the bed. Soda, soda and more soda.

This morning he was trying to convince me that soda dehydrates me and I should drink water. Yuck. Water dehydrates me. I don’t like the unflavorfulness of water so I ends up drinking way less. I think this will be even worse for me as far as dehydration goes.
