Everyone sing with me...

Up-Down-Up
When I up, down, touch the ground
it puts me in the mood
Up, down, touch the ground
in the mood {smacks lips} for food

I am stout, round and I have found
speaking poundage-wise
I improve my appetite
when I exercise
(ripping sound)

Oh stuff and fluff
(ties his back together again)
That's better
(reflection in the mirror talks back)
Thank you
Now, where was I?
(grumbling sound from stomach)

Oh, yes, I'm rumbly in my tumbly.
Time for something sweet
I am short, fat, and proud of that
and so with all my might
I up, down, up-down
to my appetite's delight

While I up, down, touch the ground
I think of things to chew
(Mmm, like honey, milk, and chocolate)
With a hefty-happy appetite
I'm a hefty-happy Pooh.

With a hefty-happy appetite
he's a hefty-happy Pooh.


Now I may never get this song outta my head! No matter what you look like or how you feel about yourself someone still loves you evn when you can't love yourself. Lucky for me that someone happens to be my DH !
fighting the fluff along with ya!!

Love it!

I lurk here, but rarely post--today I have something to say.

There may be an underlying issue behind what the OP is trying to say and was trying to just be light-hearted about it. They may be a newer poster and not quite sure what goes where. We were all new on certain boards at one time. If the weight is new--it may feel like a disability because everything about the way their body works may be different. Everyday functions maybe be considerably more difficult.

I get asked when I'm expecting at least once or twice per week. I have gained 45 pounds in the past year since a late miscarriage at 18 weeks that was not treated properly in the hospital or in the following weeks. Because they didn't take the proper measures at the time, now after 2 doctor switches we have found out that my body still thinks I'm pregnant in a few ways. The only way to correct this is a hysterectomy or to have a full term pregnancy where everything will shrink again. I am on hormones and no matter with diets, exercise, etc--I can't change the fact that my insides are still the size of someone almost 5 months pregnant. Being 5'1" and carrying all the weight around my middle I have been asked when I was being measured for my wedding dress if there was something I needed to tell them before the order was placed. Awful. This is how I measured: Bust Size 18, Waist Size 24, Hip Size 16. That's a huge difference and it's very uncomfortable. When I get a Grey Goose slushie people just look at me like I'm breaking the law. Could I have the surgery and fix it?--sure--but I'm 28 and I would like to have a child with my new husband in the next few years.

My knees can't handle the weight and my left one continues to dislocate. I feel winded after walking to lunch. I have to take hormone medication to calm down what's going on in there and no matter how much I watch what I eat--it counteracts it. Compared to my athletic, size 10 life in the Spring of 2010--I kind of do feel disabled when I can't stand up after sitting or get out of bed because my knees have been under pressure they're not used to. I'm very awkwardly shaped--seriously--think of a pregnant woman.

Let's not be mean to the OP as you never know what she really meant before she was scared off. She had to have been reading the DisAbilities forum for a reason right?

I have taken meds for years for my Asthma. its bloats me really bad. top that off with IBS and if one more person asks me when my baby is due UGHHHH . its not easy to look the way I look. I am all stomach. complicate that with Muscle/ nerve damage trust me when I say I HURT! Other people have issues too . Look at my family there not all perfect but we love em . People should not judge but they do even on here. It isnt right and it hurts. I posted the Pooh song to make light of things not to offend in any way. we are pretty much in the same boat and the docs are amazed I am walking. I got hit by the gas tank of a garbage truck years ago and I was in an Ford Escort. I learned long ago life is what you make of it. I try to make it the best every day.. some days are better then others.. chin up
