Me: Our pants don’t fit anymore.
Me: I know. I’m ok with that. It’s a side-effect of the Cym.balta, and um, you know, the fact that we had surgery a month and a half ago. And that we’ve been pregnant 3 times in the last year.
Me: So? We’re fat. I want to hate us now. Can I hate us?
Me: Nope. Not doing that anymore. We are learning patience and forgiveness for not being perfect.
Me: Ok. So we’re not mad at ourselves for the fat thing?
Me: Nope.
Me: What about resolving to completely overhaul our eating habits NOW and do a 180? We should totally do that!
Me: Not gonna happen.
Me: But why? I love it when we do that!
Me: But then we fail and hate ourselves.
Me: So? That’s my favorite part!
Me: Not gonna happen.
Me: Ok. Fine. Can we be mad at ourselves for not going to yoga then?
Me: Nope. Things are too busy and crazy right now for that. it’s ok if we don’t go back to yoga for a while.
Me: Ok – how about the fact that we got home at 4pm today and did NOTHING and the house is a mess?
Me: Nope. It was a long day and we needed a break to veg and do nothing. Plus, there’s not much point in cleaning. We’re starting to pack next week so the house will be a wreck anyway.
Me: Oh come on! I need a reason to hate on us! I can’t stand this whole acceptance thing! It’s totally against everything we stand for!
Me: Not anymore sweetheart. We’re all content and at peace and shit.
Me: Come on, throw me a bone here!
Me: Fine. Here’s one: We’ve been really crappy at keeping up with the blogs this week. And it’s ICLW.
Me: Oh! Yep! We totally have! Yay! Can I flagellate us now?
Me: Fine. Go ahead.
Me: *jumps up and down with excitement and runs to grab the whip*
Me: We have a problem, seriously. Well – you do at least.
PS – Happy birthday BB! Love you!
PPS – Even though things are crazy, I’ll still have time for Group Therapy Thursday this week! Don’t just sit there –submit your question! 🙂
PPSS – Shana Tova to all of you Jewish-type people in blog land! Hope this year brings good news for all of us! And stuff! And things!
yes. all day long.
xoxo

Let’s not hate us, ok? Just because our pants don’t fit. No hating you, in 5772! You hear me? I love you.
Does that count as one of my ICLW comments? I suck too.
ps im LeLeIsMe on twitter, i don’t think you follow me and i always go to respond to you there and can’t bc im private!
I think the posts when you talk to yourself are my FAVORITES. I think I must try to do one myself.
I love this new attitude of acceptance! I hope you can keep it going!
Hilarious!
Good for you Mo, proud of you!
This post sounds just like me… except about the being patient and forgiving myself part.
Will have to think about that. I know I need to do that, but its so hard.
I’m so glad you have you to put you in your place!
Do you give lessons on the telling yourself no flagellation thing? Cause I could use a couple.
LOVE this. Seriously. A. Lot.
Shana Tova!
i love you, Mo.
you’re awesome.
I’ve sucked at ICLW on many an occasion. But this post definitely does not suck. Thanks for the laugh 🙂
1. Happy birthday! (late, sorry…)
2. shana Tova, happy new year!
3. this year will be better! it has to!
neshikot,
M
*snort* oh how you funny me – we can self flagellate together 🙂
wow, thanks for verbalizing this. i need to get more on the acceptance train and less on the self-flag band wagon
I did nothing yesterday too. Time to clean up the house and run some errands..
“We’re all content and at peace and shit.” HAHAHAHHA. you’re awesome.
And thanks for the birthday wishes! You’re the best. Love!
Love this post. LOVE IT.
Good for you for fighting back against yourself.
This is hilarious and an excellent point that I need to take to heart and remember!
