It was so nice and I splashed in the water with my hoop and then it finally hit me like 20lbs of butter: Summer is really coming and I so don't want to be fat for another one. Been there and done that. Many many times. Summer 2009- The Summer of Slender. Went hooping today at the beach.

Not even plump, just plain old fashioned fat. But somehow after losing 20lbs I started to forget, everyone kept saying "wow you look so skinny", you "look amazing" and my favorite "you're so small". But hello- when did 5'2 and 168lbs ever equal skinny or small? It's incredible the stories we tell ourselves and what we are willing to believe. I almost even stopped hooping and trying all together because I was "skinny"... Coming home to 20lbs of butter with a Barbie on top, arranged on my doorstep sure took care of that! First because holy shit is that a lot of fat all lumped there together and secondly because it hit me: girl you have like 30 more lbs of butter packed on there! I can't even imagine what 30lbs of butter looks like (well I do have my own 30lbs of butterball to give me a little clue). But I can now say Butter Barbie has gotten me back on track. I am totally re-committed to HOOPING IT OFF! It works but it only works if I am working it and lucky for me working it in the hoops is soooo much fun. Thank you Hoopmama and thank you Butter Barbie!

I bought the thyroid thing, too... In fact, Melissa told me she had a thyroid problem just the other day. Such a great excuse! Thank You SO MUCH for the heads up on my Twitter- not broke (but you are just too funny!) I changed it to "HoopMamma", so it wouldn't be confusing.... and then look- totally confused you. DRATS! I edited the Twitter announcement post- I would have never known had you not brought it up- THANK YOU!!! DW-

I totally agree about Marisa Tomei. It dawned on me one day when I was neck deep in self pity and excuses about my thyroid that my body was something that was SO TOTALLY IN MY CONTROL. Mine. Such a simple concept but I'd never thought of it that way. It was like I woke up. :) Seriously. I totally agree about Marisa Tomei.
