I have had several people think I am someone else, I have worked at a bank, shopko and I look like someone that works at walmart’s friends daughter. I didn’t know I had so many jobs or got around so much. It would be fun to see who they are really talking about to see if I look like them

Funny, I think that the lady doing the yoplat yogurt commercial looks like you (or you look like her). Its the one where she takes a bunch of her clothes to the dry cleaners to have them all taken in because she lost weight eating their Boston Creme Pie, Key Lime Pie, ect yogurt.

Good for you! I got up and did my two miles on the treadmill today too. It’s nothing like the 9 miles you are running, but I’m just trying to work up to a 5K. And speaking of MP3 players, I can’t find mine. I may have to steal one of the kids, but then I’d be stuck listening to High School Musical and Weird Al songs. I may have to by a new one. What kind would you recommend? I’m going for cheap, here, too.

Maybe we all look alike to them?

PQ–You have such a way with words, even in a slump! That whole bit about ‘how many super morbidly obese doppelgangers can you have’ cracked me up–I used to have the same thought, but not so well formed, and I also did not believe they were pick-up lines!

Dear Pasta Queen, Thank you so much for commenting on my blog! I felt like I had been visited by a celebrity. You are such a huge, huge inspiration to me. I lost 70 pounds and was at my best weight five years ago. After the tragic lose of my cousin two years ago, it's like I stopped caring about exercise, what I put in my mouth or... anything. I hate myself for putting so much weight back on... (sigh) But you blog is a constant reminder that I can get back there. Especially, when you say "ounce by ounce." Thank you again, and I can't wait to get your book. AG http://www.100daysinbed.blogspot.com

you say more in fewer words than I do in my long rambles.

This happens to me frequently, people somehow always mistake me for someone else. I guess we just must have those faces that are familiar.

My doppleganger was in a picture in my first year German language textbook. Someone in the class pointed the picture out to me. Didn’t see the likeness then, but I do now. Freaky (and yes, I am a dork who keeps ancient textbooks and thumbs through them on occasion.)

Hey, PQ

Thanks for sharing both the ups and downs. It’s encouraging to know that even successful people hit mental walls and physical slumps. Right now you’re the only blog I read for encouragement with the weight battle. Half of the weight loss blogs out there you feel like asking if they’d like a little cheese with their whine, and the other half make you wonder if their ponytail isn’t just a wee bit too tight. We’re supposed to break the record today for the most snow since 1872 in NH. Needless to say, we’re more than a little tired of winter, and most of the state has the blahs (and the flu).

I met and befriended my own doppelganger through the scouting program, who, ironically has the same last name and two boys the same ages as mine. We (and our husbands) don’t really think we look that much alike, but everyone else seems to think so.

Here’s to a great run tomorrow. I don’t know what goodie awaits you at the end, but what fun to enjoy something yummy guilt free!
