And then she walks in…
That one you have tried to forget just so you can still lead
a righteous Christian life. Seeing her evokes some unholy emotions that border
on jealousy, envy and thoughts of murder, well maiming at least. She is that
one that you love to hate because she represents everything (in your weight
loss journey) that you want to be. She has been you and has known your
struggles. She has tried and failed severally and has tried even more times
until she has now become and maintained a perfect size 12, or ten.
Or is it that you hate to love her, for being the person you
want to be? The success story that you have given up on being? After all, every
dog has its day! Hmm, not sure that expression came out right. I guess what I
really mean is, “Whenever a person wakes up is his morning.” The fact that she
got up, one more time and got it right doesn’t automatically make it easier. My
own “day of reckoning” will come. Some day!
She prances about seemingly gloating at you and the failure
you are. You can read different things from her general body language. She
looks at you and you read “judgment” in her eyes. She breathes and you read
“disgust” in the flaring of her nostrils. Her mouth is the most explicit. When
they turn up at the sides, she is laughing at you. When they turn down, she is
sad at how incompetent you are at taking your life into your hands. When they
turn neither up nor down, she is trying her best to keep a deadpan expression
just so you can stay civil to each other!
She reaches out to you and you read her hands… No flabs!
Nice firm Michelle Obama arms without any ounce of fat or celluloid. How does
she do it!? And why is she flaunting it? Her tummy looks really flat and pulled
in. You promise yourself it is just Spanx! Her hips betray the fact that she
has been a mother 4 times and counting. Slim and sender. I remember when that
wasn’t the case, when she and I competed for the “Hippo Bum-bum of the Year”
and happily (?) traded places every year.
(SIGH)

Incomplete recording of thoughts. I hope it's because you realised she was just being - she may not h's e been aware of your presence in the room. Or she may simply have been basking in her success - it wasn't at your expense!😜
