Let me introduce you to Kevin and Leroy.

We’re a full day into 2008, and I’m going to tell you that NO! I did not forget to post my resolutions.
I just like to show up late for everything.

In 2008, I resolve to:
1. Breathe
2. Eat
3. Continue being a spazzy dork. (Why fight it? Besides, Mrs. Flinger says she’ll be my BF for being just like her in this way.)

(Can you tell I don’t really make serious NY Resolutions?)

Oh yeah, and I would also like to see if I can lose something that I discovered clinging to my back the other day.

Back Fat Roll

Do you SEE THAT THING?  Yes. You do.  Because it’s huge.  I think its name is Kevin.



*gives Kevin the finger*

That is a fat roll that was not there before.  Do you remember my Fatty McFatterton post?  Well, I actually lost 5 lbs in the weeks following that post.  Then… I must have missed them, because I found them all again and even more.  I think there’s something about feeling like crap (aka, the D word) where all my fat cells start campaigning for my hands to shove things into my facehole so that they can multiply, because misery loves company.

Of course, Kevin’s twin brother, Leroy, is currently residing on the other side of my back.

*gives Leroy the finger*

So, anyway.  Yeaaaah.  The other day while I was cramming Mexican food into my facial orifice, I started doing the Happy Food Dance… I was moving my upper body side to side… when suddenly I noticed that…. Uhhh, HELLO?  Part of my back was folding over and touching another part of my back and THAT’S NOT SUPPOSED TO HAPPEN.

So.  Uh.  Yeah.

And can I just say, for the record… OMG, DID I ACTUALLY SHOW YOU GUYS THAT PICTURE?

I have nowhere to go but up now.

    Aww, Kevin. You’re so cute and small. Lotus thinks you are ginormous, which is also pretty cute. You will probably die soon, Kevin, because I don’t imagine Lotus would put a picture of you on the internet if she didn’t mean to kill you very soon. Well, goodbye Kevin. It has been nice knowing you. We’ll see you again if Lotus makes another baby. Bye.

    Meh, fat. It was Christmas, we were supposed to shove things in our mouths (not like that, you have a dirty mind y’know?) and anyway, everyone needs the extra padding in winter. You should try wintering without it, it sucks bad.

    Now I am sure I have some awesome, kick ass recipes for delicious food around here somewhere…

  • Ugh, I have my own Kevin and Leroy to get rid of, but no idea how to go about it. It’s kind of difficult to exercise without leaving the house (NO, I will NOT! It’s COLD out there!). As for dieting, I’ve tried to keep track of what I eat, but my memory is so bad, I’m lucky if I know what I’m currently chewing.

  • Ah, I totally empathize Lotus. I have Bubba and Jim Bob on my back, too. I don’t know why people don’t warn you that pregnancy creates back fat. It sickens me. UGH. And, I love that you shared that with the class. Show and tell is for winners. Holding back is for losers. Now I feel like I must share mine on Haiku Friday.

    At least you can still say you’re trying to lose baby weight and people will believe you. When I try that, the person I’m talking to just looks at my 12-year-old “baby” and then looks back at me in amazement.

    You are not alone in the whole I lost weight only to gain it and more back! I did the same thing. I hope to get back on track with the diet and exercise thing, yeah right. Its a goal, right? 30 pounds to go! You are BRAVE to show us pictures, I am not so brave and never will be! Well, maybe when I lose 30 pounds, I will share a picture of my stomach with the world.HA!

  • My dear Lotus,

    I can sympathize. Yes. I can. But my problem isn’t so much the twins (yes, men have them, too) as it is their ‘big brother’ who lives around front and stands between me and my shoes, which I haven’t seen while standing straight up since before Clinton was President. However, I am going to London, England, at the end of March and Big Brother is going to be twenty pounds lighter (and therefore, smaller) by then ‘Or Else’. And we all know what ‘Or Else’ implies, when spoken by ‘The Man Of The House’.

Your description of finding Kevin is fah-huh-king hysterical. Your battle with kevin and leroy is winnable, my battle with stray hairs that are cropping up on my back seems a losing battle. You’re still FH to me though …always will be ;)

    Aw, Lotus, how could any man resist clinging to that gorgeous backside of yours?

    I think you should alert John to your new male admirers, and maybe he’ll give you an intense back massage. Hey, maybe they’ll rub off? Kevin and Leroy look pretty puny to me. I think they’ll give up the fight easily.

    I refuse to assume familiarity with my unwelcome backside dwellers. It could be the stray dog effect, once you acknowledge and feed them, they never go away.

    Happy New Year! ;-)

  • Bringin sexy back….

    I’ve been debating on whether or not to share my front and side, full length views of my self (in shorts and a sports bra, of course) from shortly after I had Aidan, to now.

    I wanted to visually document my weight loss progress. I’ve gone from looking 6 months pregnant to looking like I’ve just started showing pregnant.

    I only have 20 lbs to go to reach my desired weight; 10 to my pre-baby weight.

    Keep on trucking sister. Maybe we could arrange a get-together eventually. We live about 3 hours away. Both The Tattooed Mama and I live in the same town (and funny, I’ve never met her, even though I’ve offered). Maybe we could all meet up!!

    January 02, 2008
  • Having had my own set(s) of backfat twins(quadruplets, sextuplets) riding around on me most of my life, and squawling like a stuck pig about them for most of that time, on my 40th birthday, I finally declared, “Fuck it! They’re part of me. I refuse to feel bad about something God so apparently wants to be a part of who I am!”

    There are many advantages of being 40+, the biggest of which, for me so far, has been the ability to unapologetically fly the bird at the world and those in it who would like to try and make me feel bad about myself.

    And besides, I still have an hourglass figure – it’s just squishier than most think it should be. Fuck them, and the opinions they rode in on, I say.

    So, as for Kevin and Leroy – if they bother YOU – get rid of them. But if they only bother you because you THINK they should bother you – then let me save you a decade plus of drama and tell you we love you with or without K & L. Fo’ real.

I haven’t even given The Thighs (my sisters and I all have them) names yet, on the same principle as I use with stray cats: if I name them, they might decide to stay. Anyone as gutsy as you, though, could just scare them away and make them somehow happy about it…so I’m sure Kevin and Leroy will be packing their bags very soon!
