Trying

I am trying to do a lot of things. Right now, I am trying to blog knowing that I have somewhere to be in 9 minutes. I am trying to get back on track with eating right. This should be easy considering  people asked me about being pregnant yesterday.

1st- Lady that I see often in the building. "I didn't know you were pregnant." My response, "I'm not. I just look that way." My deadpan delivery clearly made her uncomfortable and she apologized and told me that she was on her way to a Weight Watchers meeting. I wished her well, but secretly hoped she had gained 5 pounds. If only my dirty look had the power of a donut.

2nd- Man I have never seen before. "So when is your baby due?" I respond coldly, "I don't have a baby due." I would have lunged at his throat, but I had just run 3.5 miles the day before without stretching after, so sudden movements were not an option. He then tried to tell me that I looked nice and he liked my outfit. I was to irritated to respond.

So that is my motivation for today, I guess. It has not stopped me from wanting to eat all kinds of bad foods, but it did make me reconsider my portion sizes. I know I said I wanted to be a better person and I think that it working because I have gotten much better at not lashing out at people who say crazy or hurtful things to me. I am really glad to say that, but...

I am going to need God to stop testing me!
