Problem
I've got a problem. I am not happy with my weight. Cody likes to remind me that I just had a baby a month ago, and that does make me feel a little better, for about five minutes. Then I look in the mirror or try on a pair of pants and remember that I am much more heavy than I want to be. The real problem is that I want to lose weight but I do not want to exercise or eat any less. And, I want to be 3 sizes smaller...tomorrow. So basically I want an overnight miracle that requires no effort on my part. When I think about how that just isn't going to happen I feel depressed and overwhelmed. I don't want a long process of sacrifice and self-control. But, I also don't want to stay this size. So, something has to give. I don't really like either choice, but I have to make one.

Have you ever considered contracting some rare third world disease as a way of losing weight? It wouldn't be 'overnight' per se...but unlike diet and exercise, it would require little effort or will power on your part. We at the Sarcastic Idiocy Forum pride ourselves on being helpful!

Do you know the person that posted that comment? Just wondering.
I have the same problem. I get so frustrated sometimes that I haven't lost my last 10-12 pounds or so since having Caleb, and I can't wear anything. I keep telling myself that I'll really get after it after I stop breastfeeding, but it is still no fun feeling fat in the mean time.
Do you want to borrow the quads for a couple of weeks? I guarantee you'll lose weight! And build muscle too! They're just shy of twenty pounds a piece! That's a lot of pounds to life 300 or so times a day! I can't wait til they learn to walk! Love ya, Ali
Becky,
The T.V. is full of weight loss ads, and the aisles are full of weight loss products because the rest of America also wants a quick and easy fix to losing weight. I hurt that you are depressed and overwhelmed about it. Just know that those feelings are not from a loving God. I am convinced if you just make the choice to honor Him with your eating, He will in turn fill you with His Spirit. I could easily say to you and Stephanie "you've got to be kidding, if oh I were so fat?", but I learned a long time ago that everyone's self image is theirs, and my 100 lbs. can be someone elses 5. Just don't let Satan rob you of the fact that you are the daughter of a King and He loves you and will give you the desires of your heart when you delight in Him. I will keep this in my prayers.
