Dear Teenagers I Take to the Gym,

I think it's *wonderful* that you can hold a full conversation while walking on your hands at 12.0 mph on the highest incline on the treadmill without breaking a sweat. I, however, am old. I am out of shape. I have asthma and a heart murmur. PLEASE stop trying to have conversations with me while i'm huffing away at just 3.0 miles per hour...I simply can't do it.

With Love,

Neighborhood Mom

P.S. Putting the treadmill on .5 miles per hour and then doing a jig sideways while laughing at me because I can't go fast enough was funny, but not very appreciated as I almost fell off the treadmill while laughing. I'm obviously not as coordinated as you all are.


Is there someone in your life you'd like to write a letter to today?

Dear beloved step daughters

Please stop asking me things while doing Zumba, I am very embarrassed by my husky reply as I try to get a breath in lol

(or is that your brilliant plan to mess me up and have a lower score? hhhmmmmmm!)

Dear beautiful pre-teen daughter,

I know I dance like an old lady...I AM an old lady...and yes, I know that my bat wings jiggle when I dance too. Again...I am old. Also, rolling on the floor laughing at me while I dance like a loon to burn precious calories will only result in me making a video, posting it to You Tube, and then emailing it to all of your friends. I will especially make this video when you are laughing so hard that you start farting uncontrollably which makes you laugh even harder still until I can't stop laughing and you ruined my workout.

Love,

Mom

P.S. - Ramen noodles are not food and no you cannot have them for dinner tonight

Dear Teenagers AT the gym :

I am well aware that I got the cross ramp with the working TV AND captioning. Yes, I fully understand that you are bored because you can't figure out how to work your TV. NO, you cannot shout to your friends four machines away THE ENTIRE TIME.

THANKS!

Dear children :

No more freaking snacks before dinner. SCREW OFF.

Dear tweens at the gym :

REALLY? YOu wanna get RIPPED? You wanna lift? Really? really really? Then DO IT. And no your hair doesn't look like Justin Beibers. You just look like you need a haircut.

Dear Cat,

I realize it is EXTREMELY interesting that I am on the exercise bike but that doesn't mean you can try to rub on my feet while I'm going 15mph. Accidents happen my furry friend. Leave me alone!

Dear Aiden, (my boyfriends 7 year old son)

Thank you for telling me that you think I'm beautiful no matter how much weight I lose. You're an amazing kid and you don't even know it. You have such a kind and loving heart. You see the world as a big place full of adventure and fast cars, I envy you sometimes, but I enjoy seeing you so excited when you learn something new. You're polite, responsible, chivalrous, intelligent, and most of all, you're special to me. I know you want a brother or a sister out of your dad and I, but truthfully, I am perfectly happy to only have you. I may not be your biological mom, but I'll come as close as I can. I love you Aiden.

Rawr (means I love you in dinosaur),
Your Ashley

Dear Boss,

Whilst I love to hear about your "weekly" exercise session with your PT (the only exercise you do), please forgive me if I don't hang onto your every word about nutrition (and how I'm doing it wrong) while you force feed yourselves donuts and chocolate.

Sincerely, the girl who won't discuss anything with you until you stop your one-upmanship

Dear John (my so called best friend and crush/used to be crush),

I thought you were a nice guy. Until it came to today. I understand you like to speak your mind, but when I confided in you about my last attempts I did NOT expect you to tell me that maybe I should have tried harder and to try harder next time so you would not have to see my face anymore... not that there is gonna be a next time, but... That's just down right nasty

Ellie.

Dear Sons,

If it's my coveted exercise time then the answer to everything is no, so don't interrupt me. (Love you!)

Dear Dogs,

Please don't use me as a pillow when I'm trying to do my crunches. Just because I'm on the floor doesn't mean I'm at your disposal.

Thanks!!

Dear Self
Please stop putting this off. Waiting for tomorrow is a mistake as tomorrow may never come. I know things have been tough and I know you're just trying to console yourself but really, this just isn't the way. You know you're heading down a rocky road with food et al. You KNOW this.
Try to use that little wish you have - you know - the one where you are strong, fit, healthy and in control. That little picture you have of yourself that you hold on to, but fight against. Stop fighting, you are not rebelling against the shackles, you are keeping them firmly in place instead.
You KNOW you want to be free. Stop doing this to yourself, please.

Love
Self

Ps. Well done for sitting there with that bloomin book and learning all those new knit stitches last night. I know there where times you felt like throwing it in the bin, stabbing yourself in the thigh and/or stabbing your husband with both needles. I know you felt like attacking that ball of yarn with the scissors untill there was nothing but cotton wool left but, you didn't. Try to take that pig headed stubborness and put that toward other areas of your life - you may be suprised.

Dear Husband,

You sir are the brightest part of my day and I'm so thankful that every day begins and ends with an I love you, and a kiss from you. You are my husband, lover, and best friend rolled all into one wonderful package. You understand me better that I understand myself at times and for that I thank you. In case you didn't know it and if I ever fail to show it. I love you!

Your wife
Debbie (aka one lucky woman)

Dear Friend,
When you said that your cubicle neighbor spent 6 weeks not talking to you because of something you said that he didn't like, and you thought that was childish, I was stunned.... because you did the exact same thing to me. I can't believe you don't realize it. People in glass houses, my friend. I mean really? That was a horrible time for me and you not acknowledging it makes it worse.
Thanks for being a friend.

Dear MFP friends,

We are here to motivate EACH OTHER. I am not your personal motivator. Would it really kill you to put up a comment now and then with words of encouragement or even just "congrats!"? Really?

Dear Man on the treadmill next to me Monday night....

In future please take some gas-ex or something similar before stepping on the treadmill.... it is bad enough that I am gasping for breath, I would prefer for my last gasps not to be entirely polluted with fumes from your bowels!!!!

Sincerely
The blonde girl to your right

Agreed, we're all on here for the same reason, to be healthy and yet there are so many people on here that are jerks. Whether it's a slight spelling error, your diet, your exercise, or whatever else people want to feel all holier than thou about, it's just stupid.

Deliberate mistake or brilliant irony?
