Fit . . . Fat . . . What's One Little Vowel?
I hate to use the word hate so I will start off by saying I have a strong dislike for my birthday gift from last year. I requested (well, more like begged for it) and received a Wii Fit plus to go with our Wii. This was going to make me healthy. This was going to get me active. This has done nothing but lower my self-esteem. I no longer refer to it as the Wii Fit. I call it the Wii Fat because that's what it calls me every time I get on it. It does some measurements and calculations and basically tells me I'm obese. What do I mean basically, I mean literally. The machine makes my little avatar plump up and says "You're obese". Oh yeah, this sounds like fun. I wanna go first - not. There is nothing about this activity that makes me want to participate. I'm just waiting for the day that I step on and it tells me to please step back off because I'm too heavy. There is nothing motivating about a computer humiliating you repeatedly. Its upsetting. So what's a girl to do. My big plan of choreographing an exercise routine has fallen through. I tried a website called FitDay where you enter what you've eaten and your activity to help you burn more calories than you input. That lasted all of three days. I have a lot to do in my life and it just so happens that most of it has to be done sitting down. I can't finish stitching the blanket for my brother's baby while jogging. I can't write a letter while jumping rope. The problem here is, and I'm sure many of you can relate to this, I just can't find the time to exercise. I guess I have to schedule it in and commit to doing it. I am a stubborn, competitive girl. I can do this. (I think I already made this promise in a previous post.) I can prove the Wii Fat wrong. I think I'll start . . . maybe tomorrow. Yeah, I'll start tomorrow . . . or the next day at the latest but definitely at the latest. :)
