To which my husband responded, “A lot of people pretend to be black girls.”

I wrote a post a while back about black folks and water.

I’m a real black girl now; I carry around a quart bottle of semi-frozen water for me myself personally. And I’m feeling so good about myself in my weight-loss campaign. Even though I haven’t lost any weight, despite all my healthy water. And walking, for that matter.

And that video of me doing tae bo with the babies? Almost enough to make me want to give up.

I thought I was too cute. Too intense. But really? Too fat.
