My hysterical 6 year old sat on the couch with a serious, sad face and said,
Son: "Mommy, I miss my old self."
It was all I could do not to laugh...this was a serious moment after all.
Me: "Well, which old self is that?" (after all he is only 6 years old)
Son: "The self that I was back when I was 5."
Me: "Well, Honey that was a long time ago and people change. Why do you feel that way?"
Son: "I was a better kid then."
Me: "I think you are pretty great right now."
Son: "Yeah I am, but I was better then."
Me: "Oh, I love you bean." (Yeah I call him bean, not really sure why).
This got me to thinking. You know this is a serious thought for such a little man to have. Between my laughter, I actually, kind of, felt sorry for him. I often feel like I miss my old self. Back when I was 5, well maybe not that young, but before I lost my virginity...he was a real asshole. Gosh, the things I could change, but then I started thinking about that movie Click and got scared. I might have actually ended up successful had I done things differently and then I couldn't enjoy my trailer park life now. That would be tragic! Okay my life isn't that bad...but I do wonder sometimes.

Every person who has gained weight experiences that. It's kinda frustrating, but you need to get up and get going. You can be your old self again. Just find the determination in you to work out and exercise.
