My Diet Food

I have struggled with my weight my entire life; it has always been an issue for me.

It is very irritating to me that some people can eat absolutely anything they want to and never gain an ounce.

I can look at food and put on two pounds. Seriously.

When I was a teenager I remember a friend of the family coming over to the house one day. She was soooo excited! I asked her what was going on and she said very proudly,
"I have finally gained two pounds!"

I was so happy for her. She had to eat and eat and eat to put on two pounds. She was born with the curse of being naturally thin.

Just hearing the food she had to eat to reach this milestone caused me to gain three pounds.

My boys, thankfully, have never had a problem with their weight. They eat basically anything they want to. Regular Pringles for example. I eat the Fat Free Pringles...

One day I walked in the kitchen to find Daniel eating my Pringles......I freaked out calmly said to him, "Son, don't eat my food! You can eat anything in the kitchen and you want to gobble up my stuff?"

There's a kitchen full of food he can eat, but he eats up my diet food.
My food full of no flavor and ingredients that have some less than pleasant side effects.

I'm really not a mean mother, but sometimes it makes me cranky.....I'm just saying is all.

I live with a household of males who burn more calories lying around on the couch than I do riding my exercise bike for 3 hours. It's irritating.

The reason I probably sound a little resentful is that I'm jealous.

I want regular Pringles.

I want to eat a piece of chocolate cake with out wondering where it is going to end up on my body.

I want to lay on the couch and watch television with a bowl of buttered popcorn and not have to break out my fat comfortable pants, or worry that my shoes won't fit in the morning.
