About With Sandwich

I thought of many names for this blog.

I didn't know I was fat!
You didn't know I wasn't pregnant!
How Many Cameras Are On Me?

I couldn't choose.  It's not a pregnancy blog, it's not a celebration of being fat, yet it's not a fitness blog either.  It's just a blog documenting where I am, right now.

Let me say this right now though:  I love pregnancy blogs.  I love watching the changing belly, the changing symptoms, how the cells are starting to form a fetus-like thing that has the potential to be a person. And then I laugh and laugh when their little angel vomits on their face and keeps them up all night crying, and then marvel at how smart they are and their neat little personalities.

I also love fitness blogs.  I love new ideas for healthy food, new ways to enjoy fitness, and seeing before and after photos.

But I am not pregnant. I never will be pregnant, so no pregnancy blog.

However, I am fat.  I'm not morbidly obese, but I've been eating all I want, when I want, and it is more than I want.  My mouth is satisfied, but my digestive track is screaming at me to stop.

I DO NOT LIKE NOT FEELING GOOD. IT IS NOT POSITIVE OR LIFE AFFIRMING TO EAT A THREE COURSE MEAL IN TWENTY-MINUTES AND HAVE HEARTBURN FOR TWO DAYS. >:(

So, I am fat, but I do not hate myself for it. Our bodies are not here solely for others' amusement. Our bodies are capable of amazing feats of strength, carrying us around for whatever amount of years we are lucky enough to spend on Earth.

I want to feel good while I'm here!  I want to celebrate where I am, no matter where it is, like the miracle it is.

I am currently not with child.  I am With Sandwich!  I will do weekly updates, photos, the whole bit.

Let's go!
