But I think ...Yeah, I know, I obsess about it too. But I think trying not to obsess has made me happier. Being a housewife, and with twenty to thrity-five pounds to lose since my last baby, this is the first time that I've really been struggling with it for real. When I was a size eight I dreamed of being a six, even though I looked great. I look pretty decent now at a twelve, but I'm dying to be back to a ten. <br /><br />There are a lot of crappy things about being a housewife, and the weight thing is certainly one of them. I'm not into denying how much the pressure affects us. But we do have control over our thoughts and we can let it affect us less by taking control, by refusing to let it control us and our image of ourselves. Not easy, I don't have it under control myself yet.fMhLisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06202203456246015699noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7179509.post-1099710014635127792004-11-05T20:00:00.000-07:002004-11-05T20:00:00.000-07:00Hot Tamales are made in my home town, Bethlehem, P...Hot Tamales are made in my home town, Bethlehem, PA.

I mentioned weight even more than Katie in my list of 100 things, which in retrospect probably says something. Believe it or not, I've come a long way from how obsessive I used to be. <br /><br />I was just being honest with my housewife comment. I'm worried that if I stayed home all day, I'd eat. That's usually what I do when I'm home now, and then I lose motivation to go to the gym. <br /><br />Weight plays a BIG part in our society and in most of our lives. I don't want to pretend like it's not a struggle for me to not be preoccupied with it.girl from floridahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18337971608743389430noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7179509.post-1099679710457502452004-11-05T11:35:00.000-07:002004-11-05T11:35:00.000-07:00lisa- I agree with you about the fat thing.

Or fat<br /><br />Just to challenge you :-), Your current eating habits may not catch up with you, but they may. But regardless, it's a little on the shallow (yet honest I suppose) side to have 'fat' as your biggest critique of being a housewife. <br /><br />I too buy into this whole obsession with female fat in our culture, but I'm trying not to. You mention your weight a lot in a list of just 100 things about you. It's probably not very balanced, you might try thinking about it less. Hard as it is for me, I think it's the right thing to do.fMhLisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06202203456246015699noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7179509.post-1099608575191843082004-11-04T15:49:00.000-07:002004-11-04T15:49:00.000-07:00You may not be good at lieing now, but at one time...You may not be good at lieing now, but at one time you used to be an EXPERT.
