Believe it or not, I really began to find out that living in Morbidly Obese
wasn't the worse place to live in the world.
Yet, I had my eye on this other town that appealed to me so much. It's
called the town of Ideal Weight, and it's in the State of Self-Mastery. I've
heard a lot of good things about that State. There's a lot of nice little
towns there. The town of Physical Fitness is nearby, and the fashions in the
stores are pretty chic. The town of Ideal Weight is a nice place for mothers
with children, because there's a playground there where there are no benches
for the mom's to sit on. They actually go down the slides, and tumble and
climb.
It's a little racier in Ideal Weight than Morbidly Obese. You have to know
what neighborhoods to stay out of. It's a bit more competitive, lots of
gossip. It's hard to find a woman friend. Yet these are minor problems, and
with a little know-how can be managed.
A friend of mine moved to Ideal Weight. I went to visit her there. I really
enjoyed it, and was sad to come home to Morbidly Obese.
Since I enjoyed my trip to Ideal Weight so much, the next time I visited, I
rented a vacation home and stayed for a while. I really wanted to stay there
forever, but my vacation time expired, and I had to get back to my
responsibilities in Morbidly Obese. After I got back home to Morbidly Obese,
I realized that this town was definitely not where I wanted to live. It was
alright, not as bad as I originally thought, but it wasn't where I wanted to
live the rest of my life.
Well, folks, after all that history , I've decided to
take a giant step in my life, and really move to the town of Ideal Weight. I
want to sell my house, take care of all unfinished business and move out of
Morbidly Obese and start fresh in that nice town. The reason I had to keep
coming back to Morbidly Obese was because of so much unfinished business.
That happens when you take up residence in a place. You can't just up and
leave. It's a major project.
There are a number of ways I can go about this major move in my life. First
I have to find a job in the new town. Then I have to quit and finish up at
my present job. I need to take an inventory and decide what of my
accumulated stuff I'll take with me, what I'm going to trash, and what I'm
going to sell at a garage sale. I have to find a house in the new place.
Then I have to sell my house here. It's an enormous amount of work. I
can't just pick up and relocate just like that. It has to be planned, and it
has to be accomplished in a systematic way.
Okay, so what's happened? I took care of all my business, and packed up my
things (sent some things on ahead, and took some with me). I've chosen my
path (I guess I'm driving there myself, rather than taking a plane (like
Weight Watcher Airlines), which costs more money. I actually used Weight
Watcher Airlines to go there on vacation. It was a nice way to get there,
but I think I want to map out my own route this time, take my time and see
some of the sights. (Personally, some of the other airlines really stink,
but I think Weight Watchers has a pretty good flight service.)
So, I'm driving along the road, leaving my life in Morbidly Obese behind
forever. I'll miss some of the friends I made there, and I'll miss all the
restaurants and grocery stores, but I've heard there's a few places like they
have in Morbidly Obese in the new town.
This Christmas, I stopped off the route at a little rest stop. It held up my
progress getting to Ideal Weight, and maybe I stayed at the rest stop a
little longer than I should have. But I'm back on the road again, still
heading the same way.
Sometimes I try to take a shortcut, and I get lost. It takes me a while to
find the road again. Sometimes the shortcut works out. I try not to stray
off my route too much. There's some dangerous territories out there. I have
to make sure I avoid the town of Bingeing. I took a wrong turn one time and
ended up there.
So, it may take me a while to get to Ideal Weight. But once I'm there I plan
to stay. I'm ready to live there now, not just have a vacation. If I think
it's taking too long, or if I run out of gas, maybe I'll just get myself a
ticket on an airline. But I think I like going this way. I'm seeing a lot
of sites, and learning a lot about the country I live in and the interstate
routes.
Love,
Frances
