Please do not wish curses upon me.

But I have lost 10 lbs so far since I recently vowed to get back in shape.

(Which goes to show that occasional 1am ice cream won’t really ruin your life.)

I discovered yesterday, while wearing the pants pictured above, which have fit me rather well in recent times…

That I can now pull my pants down without opening them.

And if that’s the sort of thing you’d have an interest in seeing me do? You can click over to my other website and view a video of me doing it.

Yup. I videotaped myself pulling down my pants. And then I put it on The Internet.

Don’t worry. When I finally get a therapist, I’ll be mentioning things like that.

No curses here! Just lots of “Hell Yeahs” and “You Go Girls”. That is totally freaking amazing! And it makes me feel better about the three cookies I ate at 11pm tonight.

Rofl. That’s just crazy enough to get some creeps commenting you asking, “So, do you have any panties on?”

Honestly, I would love to see what kind of weird searches will direct one to this post. XD You’ll have to update it later with that information!

No hatred here, either. Maybe some envy, but that’s not the same, is it?

Hello, stomach, I see you’ve gone to visit Lotus. I’d like you back please, cuz there’s a not-flat space over here where you used to be. And I see that Lotus has a flat space, so I’m thinking you ran away to her house since I was so damn condescending to you, all of the time. And she’s funnier. And has a better rack and hair. I get that, but I can be the person you want me to be, stomach!

I’ll change, I promise.

Congrats!

Congratulations, you’ve shamed me into action. I’ve been talking of losing weight for months now, but keep putting off the obvious eat less solution. I’m putting the biscuits (cookies) back into the kitchen cupboard RIGHT NOW. And brushing my teeth, because that sparkling clean feeling always stops me from eating anything more for the night.

#13 by Veronica on August 6, 2008 - 4:57 AM

You look amazing. Now all I need to do is come to the US so we can make out.

There is a theory out there, one I’ve proposed for some time, that everytime someone loses weight someone must gain weight to keep the world in balance. Silly I know, but it sure does explain why that when you young cute things lose weight us older things have to put on those mature pounds. I’ll make that sacarfice for you —

You really have a beautiful figure already, though, Lotus! I know it’s hard to embrace the physical traces of parenthood, but you look unscathed, babe!

#27 by Lilacspecs on August 6, 2008 - 9:33 AM

Fantastic hun! When I was doing Weight Watchers over a year ago (not quite the right thing for me, but I gave it a shot) they told me that 10 pounds is pretty much a size. So go buy some new jeans woman! It’s almost as therapeutic as stripping online.
Almost.

I am so thrilled for you, Lotus! No mean jealousy here. I’ve lost some pounds of late, and I know that it doesn’t just happen without taking some action. You deserve it! And I watched the video, too. You are too cute.

#32 by Sarah on August 6, 2008 - 11:29 AM

Congrats!!! I’ve lost 3…but I haven’t been trying as hard as I can…gonna join a gym soon and go a few times a week. At least, that’s the plan. Here’s to hoping that by actually shelling out moneys every month I’m a bit more motivated to GO and workout…as opposed to my current workout regimen which involves me using my exercise ball to give the kids therapy…I do not actually use it myself…I don’t think that’s how you’re supposed to do it…

#33 by Raging Dad on August 6, 2008 - 11:40 AM

That’s pretty exciting. The losing 10 lbs, not the peeing video. Though that might be exciting too, but I think I’ll wait ’till I’m on my home computer to look at that, lest the IT devils take me away…!

I reserve that for people I respect most, btw.

I want to get my act together so badly and get back into shape…just not ready to do it yet. *sigh*
Maybe with the start of school…yeah, a mom can dream.

Lotus that is awesome that you can do that. It’s always a great feeling when you can pull you pants down without unbuttoning them.

I need to start a workout routine. I guess getting the exercise ball out of the box might help huh?

#52 by Tanya on August 6, 2008 - 5:20 PM

well done! It does work….

I have lost 5 so far. Wanted to lose about 15.

I also have a problem with eating icecream late at night, last night I was hopping into bed when my partner appeared with a huge bowl of icecream and chocolate topping.

I couldn’t make him feel bad so I ate it!

#53 by Angie on August 6, 2008 - 5:22 PM

Congrats! I’m amazed at how different clothes fit when you start shedding pounds! I think I’m up to 15 and my old pants just fall off, literally.

How much are you trying to lose or do you not have a specific # in mind? It’s not really about pounds for me, just getting in shape. Don’t get me wrong, the pounds are nice too:)
