I had forgotten about this song!

So, I have long admired a member of the fasting website I am with. Turns out, today she sent me an email, frustrated and feeling fat, and wants to do a fast, email our issues during the fast, and so on. She is an attorney who lets her emotions get the best of her at times, so she says. As do we all.

I invited her to join me on my 4 week, of which I am on day three. In our discourse, I happened to think of a very fun song, and oh-so-appropo for fasting:

Fatso
by The Story (Angel in the House)

This is the last time, this time I will win
It took a long time to gain this weight,
It will take a long time to lose it again

I will have only water for a week, then maybe carrots,
and celery, and if I lose then Sunday I'll have brown rice

Because someone will adore me when my ribs show clearly
and I'm thin even when I sit down
Someone will admire my gorgeous arms and legs
when I'm only one hundred pounds

I bought a doctor's scale on sale today
It takes up half the bathroom, and it's really ugly,
but I know it's going to help me reach my goal
I get so dizzy when I stand up fast, and I don't feel like
dancing but I know I'm gonna do it this time, for sure

Now I walk past the fatsos eating doughnuts,
with cream filling, icing, and jimmies,
and I am so glad I am not like them

Because someone will adore me when my ribs show clearly
and I'm thin even when I sit down
Someone will admire my gorgeous arms and legs
when I'm only one hundred pounds

Last night I dreamed I ate a chocolate cake, and when I
woke up I was sure it was true so I weighed myself just to
make sure and drank a diet Coke

I want to be skinny (Ciao, chow, chow)

Yeah, me, too. I miss it greatly.

Now I walk past my closet and I grimace

That is more my reality these days . . .

So, 29 pounds is gone for good. AND I MEAN, for good! The strawberries I was cutting up for the turtles this morning were so luscious and smelled so sweet, I nearly lost it. But, there will be OG strawberries in a few weeks, and not Mexican imports. I will wait, I will wait. Maybe the Easter Bunny will bring me some to break my fast!
