Thanks so much, Oliver. Becoming a famous author is tough, but a girl can dream.
Comment from GabbyLew
I love this post/piece/journal entry, whatever it is, I love it. I truly appreciated the conversational tone, the simple yet effective images, and how relatable it is to life and struggles, whatever that struggle may be.
One note:
Maybe changing the period to ellipsis to show the pause, as "Most of the time" becomes incomplete.
Thanks for sharing!

What a fun writing prompt! I enjoyed reading this. Kids are so brutally honest, aren't they? I'm clicking the glass back - here's to famous writers! Hope you get everything you want.

Comment from Mystic Angel 7777
This meets the contest requirements beautifully. I liked your use of the oracle and was surprised it was Facebook LOL - nice twist as I thought maybe you were talking about your guardian angels which are my oracles I consult regularly. This is wonderfully penned and shows you are well on your way to realizing your dream. I wish you all the best in the voting and thank you very much for sharing it.

Thanks so much for reading. And I have to say your oracle sounds a lot more trustworthy than mine.

This is an absolutely wonderful entry into the contest. You have captured humor throughout and brought the reader into your world. Very nice indeed and I wish you all the luck in your writing and in the contest. (This is a sixer write, but here it is Sunday night and I'm out already.) Marilyn

Hi, M J
= Oh, what a neat story. Such an excellent one for the prompt.
= You have a fun way of putting things, so the reader wants to continue.
= Such a great read from start to finish.
= The battle of the bulge, something most all of us seem to chase as we get older.
= I broke down and bought a Total Gym. The one Chuck Norris and Christie Brinkley plug. LOVE IT!!
= It is perfect for my fibromyalgia. I can make it as low impact as I need or as high endurance as I can stand. NICE.
= Makes the donut I eat, all the more worth it! (*<*)
= Good luck in the contest.

I do 30 minutes on my stepper in the morning. I guess it's better than nothing.
Thanks for your kind words.

My glass is raised for you - that was such a nice gesture. Believe the compliments from your children and your husband- they are happy with you being you- nothing more and nothing less. I like that you are being positive- that is when good things can happen. The secret I believe is being happy with yourself which will then promote change. Good start on your bucket list-good job, thanks.

A good contest entry. I think you covered the subject very well. You completed the challenge of this contest and I enjoyed reading the piece.It is so very hard to lose weight. But hold a positive thought.
