HAHAHA!!!1

I have lost ten pounds in the past too months and that is so extciting!!! thanks you MOM!!1

What else is going on in the life of Dinah Buttman well let me tell you I am in love again, I thought I could never "get over" my One True Love Mr. Popperson but it has HAPPENED. the boy that I love works in mmy nutrishionis office and I KNOW HIS NAME IT IS LEEROY I am not sure how to spell it but I think it is like this LeeRoy. He works there as a secraturry did you know even boys can be secraturry? It is TRUE!! and he rights my appointmments in the book and smiles at me and told me about my new favorite "music" which is called RAP!

My friends are so bad at this dueling dumpys! But I have not 4got our webblog. I learned some more internett things like that instead of fourgoten you say 4got I think that is so cool. I was tlaking to my mom the other day about why was I still so fat and I told her all the things I was trying and she said you know what Dinah honey I will pay for you too go too a nutrishunis!!

and maybe the Nutrishunis can "explane" what you aer doing wrong. so I went and my Nutrishunis name is doctor Wood just like Tiger Wood the famous actor who won the oscir. Doctor Wood told me that I am doing so many things wrong and I will now tell you some of the things number 1 is: FRAPUSSHINOS ARE NOT HELTHY BECAUSE THEY ARE DRINKS.. They have a lot of Calories and Docter Wood tautght me how to read the labels for Calories.

so now I am "counting" the Calories and I have to stay below 21,00 Calories every day. yesterday I got confused with math or something because in my notebook it said I had 10,350 Calories and that ca'nt be Right!!!!1

2004-03-18T14:43:00.000-08:00

I saw something SO GRATE on American Idle last night when Clay Akken was on!!!1 They said that the fans of Clay are called CLAYMATS which is like "Playboy Playmats" only with Clay and I thought wel I may never be Skinny enough to be a PlayMat, I can be a ClayMat because I love Clay!!!!11

I guess we are'nt doing to good on our resolushuns to write in this Dumpies, and you no what I am not going so good in my eating either and that is the Truth!!! I resolutioned that I would not drink any more coke but I have just switched to cherry Coke like that is different, NOT REALLY. now I am drinking Diet Cok with Lime and it is NOT very good do you "get used to it" really because that's what Desirae said was supposed to happen last night while we were being CLAYMATS together!!!!!1

2004-02-04T18:52:00.000-08:00

People in the commons are saying "Blower" has a spell check well I am going to try using it rite after I rite this entree!!!1 I no my spelling is not so grate but that's because I am dyslexics but nobody found out about it. It is hard to be dyslexics and I think everyone should be Understanding of it.

Anyway I am not rioting for that reason to say but because America Idle is such a good show!!! I look at Randy and he is so skinny now compare to what he used to be it is inspirational. I love "Clay" but I think the massage of "Ruben" winning is that FAT can be GRATE and can be a winner too.

Did you see that girl gave out the T-shirts that said "big girls rock"!!!1 I thought she "rock"ed and it was a shame that they did not let her in. I thought maybe that was because she was "big" and you no they kicked French off last time and she was "big" to. I don't think American Idle agrees that "Big girls rock" do you!! Hmmm. That is something to thing about!!

2004-02-04T18:36:00.000-08:00

Hello!!! from Desirae!

I am very exited because they are showing my favortite show AMERICAN IDLE again!!!!!2 So far I have'nt seen any one I like as well as "Clay" who will always be my favortite! But it is still fun to watch the show again! I hate Simon so much but I love Paula Abdoo and she is so pretty too!

I also started to watch a "new" show too MY GREAT BIG FAT OBNOXIOS FIANCEE which is a "reality show" about a blond girl whose parents cant believe that she is going to marry a fat guy!

So I watched both of those shows this week and I was sitting Inidian Style on my yoga mat the whole time! I was kind of sore afterward but no pain no gain right?

2004-01-29T17:54:00.000-08:00

Ha that is so funny Dinah becuase I bought some Thin Mints today to!!!1 Some girlscouts were selling them outside KFC so I bought 2 boxes but also some boxes of lemon pasty creams because they sound healthy to because they are lemon which is fruit and I am triying to eat more fruit and vegetables. Also I got 2 boxes peanut butter pattys because I heard that nuts have lots of protien which is what you eat on the "Attkins diet". And I got some Caramel delites because they are low calorie too!! And also one boc of Animal Tresures because they are so cute!!!!

I know that is kind of a lot of cookies but you can freeze them so I think they will last for a month at least!!!!!1

2004-01-29T16:05:00.000-08:00

I was working at the Post Offise today and a gril comes in and asked "do you want to order some Girl Scoot Cookies?"

I knew that I was on a DIET so I said do you have low fat or calorie Girl Scoot Cookies and she said YES WE DO!!!!! I said well whatever is the low fat one give me SIX BOXES because it is good to have lots of "Low fat" things around to eat.

But then I remembered how much I love Thin Mims, and they have THIN right there in the name!!!1 that means they make you THIN I do not know what a Mim is but it is CHOCOLATE and that is good tasting too in addition too making you THIN. I said give me six boxes of Thin Mims also because you CANNOT be to careful!!

2004-01-21T16:22:00.000-08:00

I hop this post isnt to late for my Resolution that we made!! Its me Dinah Buttman!!1 (You know it would be so cool if people called us the "Dumpies" sometimes like we were a GANG or GROUP that didont kill people or put up "gang" signs or grafeety, but just liked to fight the fat as a GROUP. and then we could walk down the street and instead off saying Those Are Some Fat Girls they would say Those Are "the Dumpies" instead!!!111)

I wanted to write to tell you all about how someone asked me for a DATE at the post offise!! This guy and his name is Joe (and I asked him that RIGHT AWAY so to be sure I know it!!) said I have a nice voise and he wants to maybe go out sometime. I said I wasnot sure and he said is it because I am blind and I said I have to think about it!!1

I like him and he is so nice when he buyes stamps from me but you see he CANNOT SEE how fat I aam and I am not sure how to tell him. Maybe I can tell him I will "go out" with him later, after I am not to fat anymore?

2004-01-13T22:33:00.000-08:00

Hello from Desirae!!1

Dinah alredy told you that we Deuling Dumpies made a New Year Resolution to update our sight once every week so I am writing this right now!

My other Resolution for this year is to loose weihght of course!!! I am still very busy with working at my moms store and working on my school work and writeing letters to Ty and watching my TV shows so I still do'nt have time to mall walk annymore like I used to do before my mom told me I had to have a job. But I read in a magzine that sitting indian stile is a way of doing yoga which make sense because yoga is from "India" and so is "Indiam Style Sitting" I guess so sometimes I wear my yoga pants and watch T.V. and do this exersisce and I think maybe it is even better than walking at the mall because I do'nt have to worry about the cinnabun problem!!!!!!! The onely problem is that some times is hard to get up after!!!! My mom yelled at me because I nocked over the sofa bed useing it to help me stand up after my yoga one time even though I called Rickey and he helped me move it back after she is very unfair somtimes!!!

Anyway I think I am doing pretty good so far!

2004-01-08T22:18:00.000-08:00

Hello from DESIRAE!!!!1

You guys migtht remmember me by a different name but I am using a seudoname now because Ty told me that it is not a good idea to use you're "real" name on the internet because of stalkers!! And also he said that some day when I am a famous laywyer maybe I wo'nt want people to know my private business so I think it is a good idea Ty is very smart!!!!

I know I have'nt written here for a lonbg time and a lot has happend!!! Me and Duprie went to Los Vegas togehether for the first time! It was good but we did not win annything but my favorite part was the buffays!!! And then Thanksgiving which is my favorite holiday! Me and my mom and Dinah all went to Dupries house. I got to make the sweet potatoes this time. i have a real good receipe with marsh mellows and molasses and chocolate chips!!! And me and Dinah watcghed the American Idol Christmas Special together and it was "SO BEAUTIFUL" we both started crying when Clay sang Oh Holey Night!!! Clay is our favorite. I just found this websight about some other girls who like Clay too http://lbfca.diaryland.com/

I am still trying to loose weight but the holidays present many WIEGHT LOSS CHALLENGES as you know. But I have been walking around the mall alot too trying to find "pressents" for everybody so I think I am doing Okay. I also asked for a new yoga mat for Christmas so if I get it I bet I will be exercising a lot!!!!! I hope everybody is having a happy holidays!

2003-10-30T12:50:00.000-08:00

well people on the internet are coming to our dueling dumpies to read about the Mcdonalds Monoply game and so let me tell about that!!!1 I love Monopoly game stamps and collecting them as a matter of fat that is why I went into a carrer at the post Offise because I love stamps! and they are stamps to!!!1

Can you beleive it I only need ONE more lite blue stampt to win a dvd Player. I need "vermon" Avenue so if you have Vermon and send it too me I will let you come over and watch on my Monopololy dvd player movies!! HAHAHAHA!!!!

the problem is with coleccting these stmaps that I have to go eat MACdonalds a lot. and the stamps are on large and super Size French Frys and so I have to get one large and one super Size so I can have four stamps and then plus my soda (deit of course!!!1) those are six stamps at once and a LOT of french Frys.

and while I am there I usualy get a McFluffy because MCFLUFFY IS MY Favorite!!!!1 I love MCFLUFFY and MONOPOLY!!!11 I hope someone from Macdonald reads this and send me free coupons for Mcfluffy and maybe some game stamps for the "endorsement"!!!

2003-10-27T09:30:00.000-08:00

you know what I dont understnad is why people on the internet keep saying "we are fake" why is that??? Like these people sayed we are fake. we are just ordnrinary girls though who work at the post offise and have a boyfriend in prison who is innosent of all the charges, and also we like to eat things like fugge and carotts and other types of food's. and we collect Macdonalds MONOPOLY GMAE STAMPS what is so fake about that???/

anyway Desirae menshioned my resipe for BROWNYES and I will give it to all of you now because it is so good and also healthful! First you buy a box of low-fat BROWNYES, pillsberry makes a grate one!! this is low fat and you can eat the hole box and it is still so low fat! I add one package of Butterscotch chips to it to because it is so good.

Then when the butterscotch are done I like to add a little "EXSITEMENT" to the brownyes by putting (and this is my Secret ingredient fokks!!) magic shell on top!!! first the fugge flavor and then the dolche leche flavor. two kinds of magic shells! serve with Rocky Road Ice Cream And Enjoy!!!!1

2003-10-25T18:00:00.000-07:00

Hi! Its Desirae!!! I'm back!!!

So much has happenned since the last time I "blogged" with you guys! Duprie and Dinah have both been going through a hard time latly but I have been pretty good! But it is hard to be to happy when you're best freinds are having so many hard nocks you know? So we have all been spending alot of time at Dupries house helping out with her cooking and also TALKIGN and Laughing togehter because thats what freinds are for just like in the song! OK amd also eating ice cream and chipps and pie and some times drinking Smirnoff Ice because Dinah has a "broken heart" and we have to SUPPORT her even if it menas cheeting on our diets a little bit and also because you cant be perfect all the time!!! Even Brittany Spears eats ice cream some times I read and also Jennifer Anniston who used to be a fat girl to, did you know that?

The biggest thing that has happened with me is my trip to go meet with my boyfreind Ty! I was so scarred about eveything!!! It was my first trip on an air plane and I was afraied because once on T. V. I saw that another fat girl was taking a plane and they made her by two seets because she was too fat for the seat and she was alot smaller than me but they let me just buy one seat whish was good because I dont have enough money for two seats and also its not fair!!! I was also scarred because you know Id never been to a prison, before!!! And I was scarred that Ty would think I was fat and that he would'nt liek me!

But everything went grate! Ty must of been just as exsited about my visiting as I was because all the gards at the prison seemed to know about me!1! Evrybody at the prison called Ty Romeo like "Romeo and Juliett' which is a famous novel by Shakespear about two people in love!!! It is also a movie but the movie is wierd even though it has Leonardo Decapreo in it who is THE BOMB!!!!!! (haha Ty tought me that saying THE BOMB which means that something is so good it blows you away liek a bomb!) But you know who is even more handsome than Leo (I read ina magazine that that is his nick name)?? My wonderful boyfreind Ty! I am "more" in love with him now than ever and I can't wait to see him agian which I am doing as soon as I get enough money!

There is alot more stuff that has been happening but I have to go to Duprie's house right now because we are going to watch a movie (probaly TITANIC again) and maybe make some brownies (Dinah has the best recepe!!!!!) Bye!!!1

2003-10-25T15:40:00.000-07:00

do you know what me and Duprie did that was so fun well friendster!! if you want to be our friends you can sign up Dinah Buttman or Duprie Labouche which are are names of course! hahahAHA!!!1

I know everyone thinks Dinah Buttman you are so funny and in good spiruts all the time but sometimes I am sad and Desirae told me that I should trie writing some pottry because she said and I quot I am so good at writing pottry!!!1 and that it would make me feel better. I hope you are not tired of reeding about my True Love on the internet but you know like they say love is a many splendid thing and that is so true.

For My True Love Mr. Popperson

I mis you because away from me you are so many miles
I mis the way you put the envellops into stacks and pils
I cry so much because you are gone my eyes are Damp
And nobody but me is here in the post offise selling stamps
I mis you my darling my love my sweetie pie honey
I mis that one time we went to lunch and I ate all your chicken, that was so funny
I mis the time I walked in looking sexy and you were so sooprized
you just looked it me in shok and you're eyes were wide!!!1
I knew then you loved me more than anybody else
but why did'nt you ever talk to me after that or be by ourselves?
I know you have to go back to your wif and I can not blame
but I wish before you left you would have told what is your Name??

2003-10-23T11:33:00.000-07:00

You know I have been so dupressed over everything which I will tell about momo terrily, but Duprie kept calling me saying I have got to RIGHT because the whole internet is probably wondering where is Dinah Buttman at?? and maybe even though I ham going through "hard tims" that maybe I can help people who are going through tims of there own. So to make a story short, here I am.

Well what could keep me away from this sight for so long, what else but Lost Love. mr. Poppersen and I were Meant To Be, like it says in "our song" which is by Daniel buttingfield which is "I need you body and sole so strong that it takes my breath away and I miss you which is why I need the strength to stand today and I love you so much." I think those are the words. But even though I felt that he was my True Love Eternally and Soulmates, but one day he said something about "MY WIF!"

Can you believe that all the time we were going out, he had a WIF?? He was marryed to someone else and thats why he never said anything when I said girlfriend because I should have said wif. This is the total explanation as to why he never went out with me or called me his girlfriend or even talked to me for months and I never found out his first name. I thought it was because of our Secret True Love that needed no words or not even any real being in the same room, but NO. It was his WIF the hole time.

Now if you are dating someone I am here to tell you make sure he has no Wif while you are dating him. I hope you are all paying attnetion because no matter how special you're love is, he needs to have no wif unless he is one of those Mormas. And in that case do you really want to be an extra wif I think NOT!!!1

After things ended betwween us I had to transfter to a new Post Offise so I wouldnnt have to see him anymore and wood you know it there is a Jack in the box right next door! I love those spissy chrispy sandwiches with chicken and extra mayo and a milkshake and maybe I love them to much because now I am fat again.

But as they say, when you find out your boyfriend has a wif, sometimes you have to have dannishes and ice cream and oreo's and spissy sandwiches just to get threw the days.

2003-10-22T12:04:00.000-07:00

Boy howdie is sure has been alot of time since we have "checking in" with you people out there who look at us everyday and go "where are you deuling dumpies you were our insirpation and now you are gone are you OK?????/?"

Dinah and Derrika and me sure have missed all of you. Hear are some "hilites" of what we will talk about soon .................

- Being real fat and then less fat too!
- Exciting recepes
- The ARMY and BROKEN FEET
- the POWER of LOVE and how love is not confinied to AGE or WEIGHT or having different parts!!!1!
- how prison is real bad and it is sad to put a man in a box when his is totaly inocent and ablosh the death peanity!
- how maried men SHOULD NOT MKE LIES ABOUT BEING MARIED and LEANING NICE GIRLS ON

or healty salids that have some clover
staying healty and saying sober!
I want to walk in the sun with you
we will talk for an hour or maybe too!!
we will laugh and sing and dance
we will love and live and prance!
but not too much or we will get arested
becaus the police are very stupid and put inocent peoples who just want to have fun and live in the moment of life with joy and gratefulnes away for NO GOOD REASON
We love you very much!!!!

Being "in love" with Mr. Popperson has given me a new Lisa Life!! Can you believe the news??/? he asked me to "go out" with him!

Eever since he saw how "sexy" I can be he has acted sort of shy around me like his feelings are overwhulming him. I asked him out for lunch every day and finally he said "YES" to me on friday!

we went to the "olive" Garden because olives are NATURAL and PLANTS and I want to show Mr. Popperson how good I am eating these days. I ordered the unlimited breadstick lunch where they give you all the Breadsticks you can eat and dip them in ranch, yum! Mr. Popperson said Dinah I wanted to come out to lunch with you because I wanted to tell you I think of you as a friend. I was so happy because you know what kind of friend he means? a "girl" friend!

I tried to let him know it would be "okay" to kiss me at the end of our date, but he is still to shy I think. He said I'm glad we had a chance to talk and I hope your okay with us just being friends, and I said okay, because for now it is okay that I am his girlfriend, Im not "ready for marriage" quite yet and I can tell he isnt either. Maybe in a few weeks!!!!1

2003-07-29T22:07:00.000-07:00

Hello from Desirae!!

I have been real busy with my job lateley so I have'nt had much time to write here. I am sorry!!!! I am working twenty hours everey week at the store and still my mom complains when I am watching my shows that I should be working more even though I am a STUDENT to get my degree and also folowing a "DIET" and "EXERXISE" plan that takes up alot of TIME AND ENERGY.

My job is alot of hard work. My moms store sells stuff that has to do wiyh ANGELS like books about angels and dolls of angels and paintings of angels. Sometimes I think that the angels will help me to loose weight because they are so pretty and give me a good feeling to look at!!!!1 Even though work is hard I am glad that I get to work someplace that is INSPIRAIONAL

Ricky and I also started going to KFC instead of McDonalds for our breaks because chicken is WHITE MEAT that has less calories than RED MEAT. Also, it is more "vegetarian". Ricky likes McDonalds better hough so he is always trying to tempt me!!!!~ He is always saying that I do'nt need to be on a diet and that I am fine "just the way you are" but I remind him that I need to be thin and pretty whjen I go to visit Ty in a couple fo months!!!!!

Since I am working I dont have time to do my walking at the mall but I read an article in MCCALLS magazine about how to exersize when you dont have time and have to squweeze it in to you're day whenever you can. So when I am watching TV some times I squeeze my behind 2 or three times to exerxise those muscles and get a firm tushy! And when I am in the store sometimes I do some YOGA that I saw on TV where you breeth in real deep and then let out your breath slow. I saw in PEOPLE magazine that lots of stars like Cindy Crawford do yoga too I wonder how long it takes before I look like her hahahaha!!!! Anyway, I think I am still doing pretty good for someone so busy!

2003-07-23T12:09:00.000-07:00

I read somewhere where it is importnant that you dont wear cloths that are big and huge like a moo moo if you are fat. You should wear cloths that make you feel "sexy" like maybe something that "hugs your curves" and "shows it of" if you got it!!!1 I thought that was real grate advice because sometimes I get tired of my moo moo's even though I have some real pretty ones like flamingo's.

I have to wear a uniform at the post offise, but today I brought my uniform in a bag pack and came to work wearing my "sexy cloths" so I could show Mr. Popperson that I dont only wear moo moo's and I can be sexy like Julia Robert's!!1! I wore a "cropped top" with a temporary tatoo around my "bellybutton" which was of Roses that are real pretty. Then some tight black pant's that I couldnt really breath in but OK no pain no gain!!

I think Mr. Popperson didnt even hardly recognize me at first because he said "Oh my God" like he was so surprized and I said "Mr. Popperson its me Dinah Buttman" and he turned a little red like maybe he was so attracted to me "showing some skin" that he didnt know what to do!!!1

Before I go back to work I think I am going to put on some makeup like RED LIP'S and GLITTER and he wont know what "hit" him!! I bet he will be my Boyfriend soon!!!1

2003-07-16T09:43:00.000-07:00

Hi again from Desirae!!!

Thie week has been real busy for me because I started woprking again in my moms store. I usedto work there last year but then about a year ago I quit to go back to school becuase my dream since I met Ty is to become a laywer and to help innosent people. So I told my mom that I was not going to work at the store any more and that I was going to "college" instead and taking corespondance classes on teh internet to get my degre. At first my mom was real supporttive but then around Chrismas sge started complaining a lot saying that I was'nt "earning my keep" and that I spend more time wahing T. V. than I do studdying which made me really mad because the shows I was watching were things like THE PEOPLES Court and The PARACTICE and other shows that are INSPRATIONAL because I am going to school to be a "lawyer"!!!!

I finally got so tiered of my mom complaining to me all the time that I finaly agreed towork at the store again "part time". But it is "hard work" and when I have been getting home I am too tired to to my "CARDIO"! So I have'nt been too good about exersising this week but I do get some exerxise juts from working I guess so its not to bad. One good thing about wokring at "the store' again is that I get to see Ricky alot Ricky is the guy who works at teh store "next door" that sells moddle trains and some other toys. To tell you the truth I think Ricky might have "a crush on me" but I do'nt think about him that way and of course I have a boyfreind any way!!!!!! But we like to take our brakes together and we are still going to the McDonald on the other side of the parking lot which is also exersize to walk their but now I am on my diet anbd I only have a drink instead of a food! Plus I always get the "vanila" milk shake instead of the "chocolatw' because Dinah told me it has less calories. So overall I think I am doing pretty good!

Today is one of my days off and I am plannning to watch my shows and then go do some "cardio" and then write a letter to Ty. I use to always eat potatoe chips when I watch T. V, but now that I am watching my wieght I started to eat the LOW FAt kind of poratoe chips instead. They dont taste as good but they are O. K. if you put alot of dip on them and then you almost ca'nt notice that they are any different from normal!!!!! I think it is goingh to be a GOOD day!!!!1

2003-07-13T13:04:00.000-07:00

I had such a grate week at the post Office and with my deit!

I discovered a new "Liqquids Diet" approach to my diet. It says that if you only eat liqquids that you will loose weight well guess what FRAPPACHINNOS are liqquids!!1 I have a Jamba Juise for breakfast and then a Frappachinno for a snack, and for lunch I usually have a Cheeseburger because Im "not perfect" after all and I have had nonothing except liqquids! but I also get a "coke" because that is liqquids and it washes the calories right out of my system!

For dinner I have a McFluffy only when I am in the drive through getting my McFluffy (I like M and MS) I usually add some super size french fries on there to and maybe a "Big" mac because boy I am hungry then! So it isnt always giong the best but it is still an Effort I am making and I give myself PROPS for that!!!1

And now about Mr. Popperson, all week I kept saying about people with girlfriends! I talked about J.LO and how she is going out with Matt Damon, and then I said about how Tom Cruise and Penelope Cruise are not married even though they are both named Cruise! He looked at me like he didnt know what to say to that which means he did not say "I have a girlfriend to" not even once!

Then he asked if I could get him a Frappachinno when I went to Starbuck's and he wanted a Moca Malted one and I tried it on the way back and it was so good. When I gave it to him he saw that haff of it was gone and I think he thought that was real funny!!!! Next week I think I am giong to "make him jealous" by talking about someone who wants to go out with me and see's the beauty under the fat. I will also talk about how I am dietting and that soon I will be skinny as J.LO to.

My Mom is very worrie dabout me. She says Duprie you are much to fat! And I agree but it is truth that I am very fat but it does not mean that because I do not agree that my feelings are not very hurt!!1! I tell her Mom I am “Working” on it and she said You do not seem to be Working on it so good and I say but I am working HARD and she said that does not seem to be true as you are still very Fat!! And then I say but dont you love me mom??!? And she says yes I love you becaus you are my Dauter but you are a very “FAT PERSON”! And I have been afrad to tell her about how I may be a “Big Girl” but my heart is still very delicat!!1! I hav feelings to you know it is true and that is something maybe you dont relize wich I have said before.

But I am thinking about how WEIGH LOSS SUCESS has made me more consus of my FEELINGS AND THOUTS AND EMOTIONS and has given me confidinse in ME, Duprie!! So last nite when I was at her hous for diner (I go to her hous for diner Two Nites A Wek becaus she is lonley sinc my Dad died ten years ago of a Heart Atack which was sad becaus he was young but my Mom says he was Real Fat Too and that is why she worries about Me becaus she does not want me to die and for her to be All alone! even tho she has Pooters the Cat to have company) . At diner I was very carful the way I have been to LOAD UP on GOOD PROPORTONS and HEALTHFUL FOODS like potatoes which are vegtables and corns which are also vegtables and lots of salad becaus I need my greens! The salad was real good with blue cheeses it has “good colesterol” which is important for a healty heart and bacon peeces and eggs and ham sunflour seeds and crootons yum! and my Mom said “Duprie dont you think you have had enough mashedpotatoes they have a lot of cream!” and I put down my fork and I Had Enough I said :
Mom your words are hurtful it is Me, Duprie who will decide how to take care of myself becuase I am an adult and I have a good job!1!!

I “stood uP” for myself do you see? It is important to rmember to stood up for yourslef all the time like when someone looks at you in the grocery store and says “BOy you are fat do you need all that Ice Dream” you dont even have to say “It is vanila and an important weigh loss tip is VANILA has lesser calories!!” you just say “I am an adult and I will eat what I think is Goood for ME!!” and then you walk away with you head in the eair and your eyes on the STARS!!

PS I tole my Mom I am goin in the Armmy my Moim cryed and cryed and I think she was real proude!!! This fary tail has a “Happy ENding!”

2003-07-08T22:09:00.000-07:00

Hi!!!! This is Desirae! I know its been awhile since I wrote here because I have been on vacation with myu mom and have been real busy!!!!@ We went to teh beach for one wweek and it was a good vacation but also a real "WEIGHT LOSS CHALENGE!" I think I did pretty good I tryed to mostly eat "seafood" because it is healthy and "low fat".

And you know I think I am starting to change my whole "life style" because before I did'nt really like fish as much as beef or ham or bacon but now I think it is actualy not to bad. I like fryed clams, beer batter shrimp and fryed catfish and it is even better with some tarter sauce. Some times when I am eating it athome I also like to put some mayonase on it which is also good on the "chips" that come with them which are alot like french frys but I guess more healthy because they are "sea food". So I am eating alot of foods that I did not use to eat but now I think they are pretty good and it is almost liek not being ona diet at all!!!!!1

You know as I am writing this it reminds me of this time when I was in 8t grade and this girl who I HATED named TIFFANEY was makeing fun of my weight problem which she did alot and also got other kids to do it too. She told me Desirae I can tell you are on a SEE FOOD DIET because when you see food you eat it whcih was really a mean thing to say in front of everybnody and also not really thaty funny even. After she did that I went to the bathroom and cryed because everybody was lauighing even some of the kids who were suppose to be my FREINDS. But now I am having "THE LAST LAUGh' because I am on a "SEE FOOD DIET" for real and loseing weight and I also have great freinds DUprie and dinah!!!!!! I hope that maybe some kids whp have weight problems and are sad about it will read this and find out that good things are in you're future too!!

2003-06-29T01:58:00.000-07:00

Okay so since Desirae and Duprie are being so "open" with the internet about their lives I thought maybe I could tell you whats "on my mind" and also that it is effecting my eating choises!

As you know I work in the post offise and I looooove my job so much such as selling stamps. Mostly the reason my job is so fun is that I have the BEST BOSS on the planet which is mr. Poppersen. mr. Poppersen is so nice to me like when we go out to lunch all the time and he shares his chicken with me! (well to tell you the Truth we only wen't out that one time to lunch and when I ate his chicken he sort of looked at me like he was suprized. But I think he was suprized in a good way like when you bite into a chocolate and there is carmel inside!!!1)

I have only had my job at the post offise since April and since then I have been lerrning things "left and right" especially since mr. Poppersen helps me so much but one thing I havent lerrned is does MR. POOPERSON have a girlfriend? it is driving me crazy and sometimes I have to stop on the way home because I am thinking about mr. Poppersen and if he has a girlfriend and then I buy Oreo's and ding Dong's because I am too busy thinking about the question to think about PUT IT DOWN FATTY. So I gained more wieght this week. :(:(:( That means "sad face" on the internet.

I have made a plan to find out about mr. Poppersen which is that I will talk about people and there girlfriends all the time and so if he has a girlfriend he will DEFINITELY talk about her! Tomorrow I am going to talk about Cameron Diaz and how she was going out with Jared Leto and now she is going out with Justin Timberlake. I think that is the perfect "window of opportunity" for mr. Poppersen to say I have a girlfriend to!!!1

2003-06-28T12:02:00.000-07:00

Well this Armmy thing is STILL REAL HARD! It is taking up all of my "attention molecules". Did you know that atention has molecules? I did not! You LEARN THINGS ON THE INTERNET! Now I have to no what molecules is.

Okay so Evry day I get up at 6 AM and I do a pushup and then I have a healty brekfast like HAM and EGGS and sometimes BACON Because SODIOM is good for yuor boans and you have to have healty boans to jump off buidins! Did you no that Armmy people jump off buildins!?!?!!? It is TRUE! Also I read where armmy people have to do things like eat MAGGGOTS and INTESINES! and kill people and peel potatoes and be buried in worms. Sometimes I do not think so much that I want to be in the Armmmy but then I rememember that FEAR IS FAILURE AND DO I WANT TO BE A FEARING FAILRUE?? or to FEAR FAILURE? Or have FEAR IN FAILURE I DO NOT!!!1! You have to look at in from many "angels" and that way you can "defeat" it! The way we are trying to "DEFEAT FAT"!!

Well so then I do a situp and you no that your boddy needs extra "energy" when you are doing alot of excercizes so then I have a healty snack like a bannna or a pare or a peech or one of DINAH'S DELICUSIOUS SMOOTHEES. Excpt that for "energy" I add an egg and ground beef! That is PROTEEN! which bilds strong boans like sodiums.

And then I go to work at Seers where I see many "thin" ladies and I want to thell you this: I used to think "OH THERE GO THE THIN LADDIES WHO HAVE GOOD LIVES WHY CAN"T I BE THIN AND HAVE GOOD LIVES" except now that I am doing sometin good for myslef like BE IN THE ARMMY I think "I AM GOIN TO BE THIN AN THEN HAVE A GOOD LIFE!" It is all about "POSIOTIVE THINKING!" I am POSOTIVE i will be THIN! That was a joke about slef-esteem!

And then affter a long day "on my feet" I go hom and even tho I am "boan-tirred" I do a pushup! because it is immportant to never loose sight of your DREEMS. And I have a healty dinner with lots of MEAT wich I tol you has PRoTEEN!

Before I go to slep I think of more POSITAVE things like BEING THIN and HAVING LOVE and BEING IN THE ARMMY! And then I have SWET DREAMS. But these dreams have NO CALORIES! hahahaha!

i am teling you all about my "rootine" becaus I want YOU to develup a "rootine" too! You have to MAKE A PLAN for your OWN HAPPINESS! That is an important thot!!!!11!

2003-06-23T23:22:00.000-07:00

Here is another grate wieght loss tip! "DID YOU KNOW" that eating what you dont like as much is less calories? THIS IS TRUE. if you don't "like" the food, you're body doesnt "like" the calories and the calories are NOT ABSORPED by you're body!!!1

I have put this tip to work for me today! For lunch instead of a meatball sandwich (which is my favarite if you add ham) I had a hot pastrami cheese melt sandwich! I like meatball more but I thought "No way Dinah, you're body will LIKE THE CALORIES MORE to! And I know the fat would be liking my butt, to!!1! ha ha! So I had pastrami and give myself a pat on the back! (Not really because I cant reach my back yet. But sometime when my upper arms arent like big turkeys anymore I will be able to!!!1)

2003-06-20T10:33:00.000-07:00

Hello, this is Desirae!! You know how last time when I wrote a was feeling real "depressed" beacuse I thought Ty had another girlfriend? Well he wrote back to me and it turns out the whoel thing was just a big misurnderstanding!!! Aparently, Staci is his OLD girlfriend from a couple years ago and he had an OLD letter that he wrote to her but he did'nt send it and then when he wrote a letter to me he acidenttally put the OLD letter to Staci in the envelope instead of the letter he wrote to ME!!!!

I was so happy when he told me what hapened because I really was afriad that he was cheating on me but now I also feel kind of bad about being so suspisious to him! I was so happy that when I did my "cardio" at the mall today I felt like I was "floating" on air instead of walking on the groundQ!!

I have been doing pretty good with my eating to. Yesterday Duprie invited me and Dinah over to her house for dinner so she could practice being a "chef" for other people like she wants to be in the army. Before dinner she told us that before we eat we all had to "drop in give her 40" which means to do some pushups! So me and Dinah got down on the floor to do pushups but theyu are really hard and we could'nt!!!!! Finally Duprie said "thats okay" and that we could just eat without doing the pushups but then I could'nt stand up agian! Duprie and Dinah tryed to pull me up, but they could'nt do it so I just decided to eat dinner sitting on the floor which was OK because I was right next to the table where Duprieand Dinaj were sitting so we could talk anyway like normal. This would have been real embarassing except that Dinah and Duprie are my friends and so we all had a "BIG" lauigh about it!!!!!! hahaha!!!!!!!!

The dinner Duprie cooked was real good even though army food is "healthy" stuff!!!! And it must of worked because after dinner Dinah and Duprie were able to help me get off the floor so I could go home which is good because I can't do my "cardio" on Dupries floor you know!!!! Also and this is kind of gross but I have to tell you that I had to go to the bathroom real bad after eating so its a good thing I was able to get up after all.

Anyway, except for that things have been "looking up" lately and I can really feel myself loosing weuight! My clothes are fitting looser and soon I think I will be light enough to wiegh myself on the scale I have at home agian!! I am really feeling "great"!!!!!!!!11

2003-06-18T23:53:00.000-07:00

I was thinking about how lukky Duprie is because she get's to eat whatever she wants as long as she exersizes and is in "the Arrmy"! And then I had a INSPARATIONAL idea what if I eat and exersize at the SAME TIME. because if you exersize alot then you can eat alot also right? so I decide to buy a package of Ding Dong's (my favorite!!!1!) and then while I ate the Ding Dong's I walked reallly fast down the street. It was a litle hard to get the ding Dong's into my mouth while I was walking so fast because boy I was going!!! But I did it!!1!

I think this new idea is going to work so good. Tomorrow I am going to the JIM and going on a stationery bike and I think I will have time to eat some twinkie's and maybe even ENTAMANN'S while I am burning those calories!!!11

2003-06-18T16:23:00.000-07:00

So it is day 12 and this armmy thing is real HARD!1! I have been trying to eat RAW egs like they say ecept that I dont like egs raw so i cook them a real LITTLE bit and you no how egs can be burned if you do not cook them with something on the pan first so i put in a little nob of butter but it got all heat up real quick so i had to put mor in and befor you know it it is a hole package of butter!!1! that is "not so good." but i learnd somethin wihch is THIS: CALORIES are not EVIL! they are ENGERY! which is how your body 'goes". so i look at ALL THE BUTTER and I do not se EVIL i see ENEGERY! which is real importnt for doing things like RUNNING and also walking and even EATING yes it is TRUE!!1! You boddy "burns" them all up and since I am doing armmy excercizes I am burning LOTS so butter is "OK". And then I reallized that I had to have proteen wich is for making yor body STRONG and yor mussels grow wich is important becaus BIG mussels burn BIG calories!!1! So I had bacon YUM. But make sure before you have so much butter and bacon like me that you are doing many excercizes like me!!1!

And now I write a poem for Desirae who is real sad and that is bad it is a poem about how men are bad and its called WHY?? To MEN.

WHY?? To MEN.

Why do yo treat us like we are not smart?
why do you always have to start
being all slippery like ham thats not cooked.
That is not a good idea in "my book"!!1

You are like calories in this way
we look at you and we say
hey they will give us alot of energy!
but instead they are evil, we can see!!1!

Why do you thorw our love away?
We think about you ever day.
If we were goin to write a letter to you
We would use your name and not the name "Lou"!

So do not "look this gift horse in the mouse"
do not let our love go all south
like we will let our bodies go
and then we will go and die in the snow.

Do you want us to die all alone?
all a lone in a grove were the wind allways moans?
Do not leve us here in the dark
Always remmember to "Fan that spark!!!1

Its a "cautonary tale" and it is important to think about for all of us!!1!

2003-06-17T12:43:00.000-07:00

Boy am I confused! I wiegh myslef today and I GAINED three pounds!!1!

I dont understand because I was so carefull this week. Like last nite I wanted ice cream and I was trying to decide between the Ben Jerry super Fugge chunk or the Hagen Dazz "vanilla" flavor and I remembered the GOLD RULE of ice cream: vanilla has LESS CALORIES! so I saved so many calories by geting the "vanilla" flavor that I put a little bit of hot fugge on top for a LO-CAL treet! Let me tell you that vanilla with hot fugge is almost as good!!!1 as super Fugge chunk flavor.

With being so smart like that about my choises I dont get how I gained but maybe I am just BLOTTED because I am geting my period soon.

2003-06-16T11:26:00.000-07:00

Hello! Its Desirae again!

I know i has been a while since the last time I wrote anything here and to tell you the truth it is beacause I have been feeling kindof depressed latley. You know how I told you about my boyfreind Ty well last week I got another letter from him and I was so happy because he had'nt written to me for a few days and I was missing him alot but then when I oppened the letter I realized that it was a letter to annother woman beacause the letter started out by saying "Dear Staci"!

Anyway this made me real upset so of course the first thing I headed straigyht to the freezer to eat some ice cream like I usualy do when I am sad about somethign. But then I startyed thinking about Dinah and Duprie and how we are all trying to loose weight together and then also I relized that maybe if I dont eat the ice cream I can be skinnyer than that girl Stacie and then Ty will onley love me. So then I called Duprie and I tld her that Ty had another girlfreind but that I was not eating ice cream and she told me thyat she was so proud of me aand that Ty is stupid if he does not see how spechal I am and what a beatuiful person and that made me cry even harder she is such a good freind!!!!!

So I have been very sad but I know I am so luicky to have girlfreinds like Dinah and Duprie and I only ate a little bit of ice cream instead of the hole thing like I wantedto1!!! Now I am wtriting a letter to Ty to ask him about this Stacy girl and maybe there is some explanashon for it so in the mean time I am going to try to think posotive and hope that evrything between us will "work out" so pleaae send all of your posotive thoghts to me okay??? I will write agian when Ty writes me back.

2003-06-11T10:45:00.000-07:00

You may been asking yourslef where has Duprie been??? and I wqill tell you were because it is not a misterie. I have been "taking stock" of my life and I do not mean eatin soop hahaha! I have been askin myslef imprtant questuns like "who I am" and "what i want" and "were I am going" and it has been very importnat for me to think qwietly. I am a deep person who has alot of important thots and feelings and I realised that it is importnt for me to stop and really lisen to "me" and what I am saying in myself. I am here to tell you that you shuld lisen to what is in you head too!!1!! becaus it is "real".

So what i have decided you ask yoorslef? Well I will tall you: I am goin to be a shef in the armmy!!!1! its TRUE!11! Becaus I thot to myslef "what is important to me" and what I thot up was FOOD and BEING THIN. and in the ARMMY i can have both becaus ther will be runing and shoting all day an thn delishus meals at night!!! The armmy is like a real good spa.

But I now that you cannnot be in the armmy if you are real fat so MY GOAT is to loose all my ponds real quick! So now I wil be starting my BOOT CAMP DEIT and YOU CAN TO! even if you ar not goin into the armmy.

This is the plan:

EVRY DAY:
1. Cadio 3 niles every day. Right now I cant walk real far but THREE TIMES today I will walk to the corner!! Also back.
2. 100 Sittups. I can only do one right but I wil change THAT and QUICK!!!1!
3. 100 PUSHUPS. I cannt do any of thees but SOON!!1!
4. Wait Lifting I wil have to buy big waits but I don think I can get them home from the stor becase thay ar real havey.

Stay "tunned" for the FOOD PLAN!!!1!

2003-06-10T02:25:00.000-07:00

I have been working on another peom! It took awhile to find good ryhmes for it! I hope you like it!

I DONT REALLY LIKE BIENG FAT

The "biggest" problem about being fat
is when I go to a place like Six Flag's
and I can't go on roaler coasters or rides
because I make them sag

or maybe it's when I go to the store
and drop something on the flore
but I cant bend down and pick it up
or even touch my tose anymore!

why do people look at me like I'm so fat
if I eat whatever foods I pleese
like funnel cakes and french fries
and Turkey and oreo's and cheese????

I dont like being fat because its not nice
for eating what I like that is the price
so maybe I will STOP eating pizza and STOP eating rice
and then I'll be skinny and that will be nice!!!11

2003-06-04T22:29:00.000-07:00

Hi! It's Desirae agian!! I am learning so much from Dinah and Duprie and all of their "weigt loss challenges" and how they deal with all the sitauations in life when you are tempted to eat stuff that you know you should'nt be eating!!!! I am so lucky to have freinds who are so insparational!!!!1

But I want to tell all of you that teh thing that really inspires me alot is the fact that in a few months I am goinb to make a VERY SPECIAL trip! I am finally going to Louisiana to meet my boyfreind face to face for tyhe first time!!! Hahaha you probably think it is pretty wierd that I have a boyfreid who I have never met before but the fact is that I have only known him thruogh our letters to each other and the reason why is because he is in prison and I know what you are thinking about that but he is completely innosent and was framed!!!!!! Anyway we are "in love" with each other and hope to be marryed someday but first we have to meet amd when I meet him I want to look good!!! Whenever I am tempted to eat some food that is fatenning or to stay at home and watch TV instead of doing my "cadio" I think about Ty (that is my boyfreinds name) and how when I meet him in Spetember I dont want to be fat anymore!!!! And I know that if I "keep up the good work" I wo'nt be!!!!!!!!!!!

2003-06-04T14:06:00.000-07:00

You know what I decided to try getting some exercise to! I did google for "fat girl lose wieght right now" and find some intresting things like the story of a FAT girl named Lucy who is overwieight and also some sopploments I can take to help me lose the fat. I also found pictures of a very hannsome FAT man (he cant spell FAT though he spells if PHAT isnt that embarrossing!!!) he is not as hannsome as Desirae's boyfriend who is still in prison right now but he is hannsome. I dont know who the skinny guy is next to him.

I like to read about people like Lucy and the sopploments and the fat guy because it reminds me that of all shapes and sizes that we are we are GRATE PEOPLE all the way around!!!1

2003-06-03T23:48:00.000-07:00

Today I am confused because I have red two things that are "at odds" with eachuther because in Woman's Day which is a real good magasine wich you find by the SNKICERS in the supermarket they say that you should fill up your cabinets with all the things that you like to eat like ham and pizza nad bacon and donuts and crisco and buckets of chicen and subs with oil and pepparonny and bacon and peanuts and oreas and things that are fried and so when you have them "at your fingrtps" you will not be WORRIED and you will not want to ea thtm so much and that seemed werid to me because I would sure like to eat all thos things if they were in my cabinet that is for SURE!!!1! but I beilive womansday because they do not make up lies in magasines because the goverment would sure have somethin to say about that beleive youme!

so I got out of line wher I was in the supermarket becas I was only bying
healthy" foods that are GOOD FOR YOU like orngs and peers and bannannas and I Can't Belive ItS noT buuter wich is real good on toast and sanwiches and crackers and bacon and fruit becuse it gives it a nice BUTTERY TASTE and mm mm. and I went to buy the things that I love wich is stoffers chicen and hams and meatloafs and mallomars and macaronee and cheeses and those little egrolls wich you make in the oven and squeese cheese and peenut buter and sticks of butter which is real good to put in a deep fryar and then put on a stick!

I inored what the casheer said to me becaus what do she know she is not real fat and I bet she does not read womansday neither. so I went home and I wated to not feel like I am hongry becaus there is all that food but do you know it called my name it sayed DUPRIE DUPRIE DUPRIE and so I put it all in my face and I was real sad because womansday may have made lyes! but maybe it was my fault becas I dint do it rite.

but then i saw where oprah said that some fods is "trigger foods" and you shoudl KEEP THEM AWAY and so it was real good that I ate everyting because then I KEEP THEM AWAY!!1!

So this is a weight loss "victory!" thanks Opah!

2003-06-03T21:47:00.000-07:00

Today I had a WIEGHT LOSS CHALLENGE to fase! I went out to lunch with my boss at work which is the post offise. We went to Olive Garden which is my favorite because of "pasta" of course! They brought out the unlimmited salad and I thought grate I'll eat salad and "fill up" on that! This was a GRATE STRATEGY and the salad had lots of things like bacon, hard-boiled egg's, ranch dressing AND EVEN HAM that made it filling and real grate!

Well then we got breadsticks and I usually eat at least six and with butter but today I only had five and one with NO BUTTER at all only dipped in Ranch Dressing which is a "salad" catagory and healthy because of that reason!

Then I ordered for dinner instead of pasta I ordered pizza and I read where you can ask for light "on the cheese" and it is better! So I did that and only put parmushonn on it (I hope I spelled that okay, it's like cheese except it comes in a shaker.) On the pizza I got a medium instead of a large and shared a slice with my boss! Which is a nice thing to do also a way to "cut" calories also!

I had haff of my bosse's chicken parmushonn to but you dont count it if your eating off someone else because you are "just tasting it" even if you have haff. (Duprie told me that trick!!!11!) For desert I had only one peace of chocolate fugge cake with ice cream and I got VANILLA instead of chocolate because VANILLA has less calories than chocolate or other kinds that are not VANILLA! Did you know that!!!1!

So I would call todays lunch a "grate success" in fasing my challenge and I am going to "celabrate good times" and have more ice cream for dinner!

2003-06-02T15:09:00.000-07:00

I would just like to take this oportunity here to say to our friend Desirae WELCOME TO DEULING DUMPIES!!!1!! Desirae is the "baby" of the DUMPIe FAMILY, but she sure is a BIG baby hahahahaha! We are proud of Desirae for joing us in the "battle of the bulge!" as you can see she is allready doing real good because she knows all about thinks like "cadio" and walking and things and that is the DEULING DUMPIE WAY we are always ahead of the curve to get ahead of OUR CURVES! That was a joke about being fat.

Okay in onor of our newest Dumpie "Desirae" I wrote a poem just now about how we are all friend becuse we see how we are all like other people who are not fat except that we really are.

FREINDSHIP IS...

FREINDSHIP is .... about seeing the INSIDE of a person and not just the outside where their fat
FREINDSHIP IS .... not giving someone lots of cookies because you know that that will only make them real fat and they are already way to fat
FREINDSHIP IS.....eating ham togeter because sometimes you have to "treat" yourself!
FREINDSHIP IS .. being ther for someone when they have a "setback" or do not get a letter from there boyfriend in prison for FOUR DAYS which is really terible and very rude.
FREINDSHIP IS...laughing lving singing dancing and caring like noone was watching!!1! because it is sad to be embaresed about being to fat!1!
FREINDSHIP IS...firends like DINAH and DESIRAE!!11!

2003-06-02T10:51:00.000-07:00

Hello! Its' Desirae again!

You know how I have been walking around the block to do my "cardio"? Well yesterday when I went for my walk it was so hot I had to stop and take a rest and my cloths were so sweaty and it was so embarising! So I rmembered something I saw on tv about old people who go for walks at the mall and I decided trhat I would do that to because the mall has air condition and it is nice and cool in there even when outside it is very hot!

So today I decided to go to the mall to "mall-walk" and it was going good at first until I walked past the "Food Court" and you know what there is a "Cinnabun" there and it smelled so good I could'nt beleive it! I know that Cinnabun is "fast food" and that I should be eating fruits and vegtables and not that kind of stuff because I am trying to "shape up" so I tried to walk faster to get away from the smell but you know what it was everywhere like magic!!!

I tried to think "posotive thoughts" and to think about how I want to loose more weight than Dinah and Duprie even though they are "my girls" and I kept walking even though I could still smell them all the way down at the "K-Mart" end of the mall! Then I had to sit downj for a little bit because my heart was pounding from walking so fast and I was scared I would get a heart attack!!!! After a while though I felt better and I got up and walked back to where my car was parked down at the end of the mall where "Old Navy" is and I did decide to reward myself with some "Cinnabuns" but I was "good" and I only had 2 but then after I ate them it only made me MORE hungry how does that happen??? I think it is becauser they are so light and fluffy and they just melt in your stomach and then your stomach is empty agian! It is like eating salad or chinese food or french fries!

Anyway after the Cinnabun I knew I needed to eat some real SOLID food and what I really wanted was a couple of Big Macs but I know that red meat is fattenning and I am trying to be a vegeterian because I read in US magazine that a lot of bigtime Hollywood stars are vegeterian and that is how they stay so skinny and beautiful! Also, I am a big animal lover and I dont beleive in killing stuff!!!! So insted I went to Chick fil-ay and got a few chicken salad sandwiches because salad is low-fat and also some waffle fries because I am only human you know!!

I had some problems but I think so far today I am doing mostly okay! I did my "cardio" and I ate salad instead of hamburgers. I may be the biggest of the 3 of us now but not for long I bet!!!!!!1

2003-06-01T15:20:00.000-07:00

My name is Desirae Jorgensen and I am so happy that Duprie and Dinah invited me to be a part of they're websight!!! I havent ever written onthe internet before, so I hope that I can do a good job like them! It is a little bit scarey though! I hope you will all "go easy" on me because I am an internet "virgin" hahaha!!!!

I am a "big girl" too , but I am hoping that the motivasion we give each other will help me to loose weight!! I have always had a "weight problem" for as long as I can remember since I was a littel girl but now I am ready to be thin and pretty!!!

I am going to go now and do my "cardio". I have been walking around the block for exercise for the last 2 days and I can really feel the pounds melting away!!!1 No pain no gain, right???? OK I will see you all later.

Love

DESIRAE!

2003-05-31T09:05:00.000-07:00

Dinah you write poetery so that you dont think about how I am less fat then you! hahahaha just kiding! Dinah she is soo good a poet and real smart because she knows about people like Willam Carl and writes "hommmages" and they are hard to right!! Dinah is an inspration for all of us to be smart and not fat!

I was thinking today about how my doctor said to me how I treat food as a friend and maybe that I why I am so fat because foood is NOT a good friend who wants to care about you and listen to your problems food only makes your problems even more bigger and makes YOU even more fatter!!!1! food does not love you! Its true. But I did not always know that and its why that I am so fat because of htat. When I was a child I used to think it its true. When I was sad or crying or not happy I was think "I will have food because it is good and warm and will make me happy." You see I thought that food was my friend. I was very loney and sad becuase nooone wanted to be friends with a kid who was two hundred pounds and had to wear BIG TEE SHIRTS all the time!! they are not atractive and me niether. No kids would play with me and my bit tshirt even though I was real nice and a GOOD PERSON. so I would cry and have food to make myself feel better and my mom would say no no yo8u cant do that fatty you are a dissgrace and she would take away my plat but I foold her because I put mash potatoes in my pocket to have for later LOL! They would get shooshy but it was okay because they were my "friends" and tasted real good anyways. Somtims we would play barbies because noonne else would play barbies with me.

But it is NOT your friend. I can tell you that from EXPIERENCE!

So remember that leson it is a valuable one it is this: FOOD IS NOT YOURE FRIEND!

2003-05-29T22:44:00.000-07:00

A HOMMAGE TO WILLIAM CARLOS WILLIMS!

This is just to say:

I ate the pork chop's
the seven-layer-cake
the leftover spagetti,
the tube of frosting,
the stale taco salad,
the tater tot
the fugge
and the twenty six pound turkey
you left in the box.

It was so "yummy!"
Thank you!

2003-05-27T20:11:00.000-07:00

Thanks for the props, fatty! (Ha ha ha, just kidding on that one!) I am sure you will lose two pounds AND MORE too. I loved your poem especially the part about giving people looks. Because I am always giving people looks that are "Why am I fatter than you?" or "Why are you so fat but not as fat as me?" or things like that. I think I know how you feel.

Okay, CINNOMON BALLS! They are real easy and taste kind of like churos but except "crisco-style"!!1! So you take the cinnomon and you roll it into a ball I usually go for small ones like a miniature golf ball except alot smaller. Then it tastes really good if you dip it in batter made of FLOWER and then deep fry it. Then roll it in cinnomon and you are DONE! Eat and enjoy and remember to "keep on dreaming!"

2003-05-26T12:43:00.000-07:00

Dinah you better post that cinnimin recipe becase mm it sounds good! Dinah is the "man" with her weight loss of two pounds! lets all clap! I am so proud of you because you are reaching for the stars!!1!

okay, here is my poem from today it comes from how I gained weight I am not letting it stop me from doing everything I can do to be "me".

LOOK AT ME

Here I am!
I am a person who likes to look at the tv
and watches Friends alot.
I crochet interesting animals like bunnies
and I cook up some good noodles in a pot.

Here I am!
I am aperson who reads good books
I also enjoy talking to friends on the phone
I like to give lots of people looks
and think about them when I go hom.

Here I am!
I am an interesting person who has many good qualities
like I love my mom and my dog "Fluffernuter" and fish.
Just like you I like to be free.
I laugh and cry and dance and make a wish.

Here I am!
I am a good person
even when I have "setbacks" that make my cry.
I know that I will sit in the sun.
I will reach up and touch the sky.

Here I am!

2003-05-24T19:05:00.000-07:00

I think Duprie you are such an inspiration for all of us on the "World Wide Web" with your TRUTH and HONESTY even if it is something bad like getting five pounds fatter.

I was inspired to get on a scale again and I saw the number 348!!1 It has been a WHILE since I have been less than 350 pouns and boy my doctor is going to be so proud, she always tells me DINAH you need to lose some WEIGHT and then gives me list of OK foods and NOT OK foods but the NOT OK list is everythnig I love to eat! Lucky though because crisco is not on the NOT OK list so that means it is OK to have some crisco and I can make my recipe of crisco balls rolled in cinnomon which is so good!!!@! And also the NOT OK list doesnt have "Frappachuinos" on it, and I love me some Frappachoinos! I had six of them today and they were very "filling" for me plus being OK!

2003-05-24T15:59:00.000-07:00

I realize that its been a real long time since we "weighed in" with not just our interesting tips and opinions but with our weight loss RESULTS!

Well I have been embarrasssed to tell you the truth because I thought wow am not goiong so good. I did real well with a techniqe that is going out and wearing a plastic suit and that works BUT NOT FOR LONG let me tell you that for free. I lost 7 pounds but then I gained back 12 and I was ashamed!!1! But I should not be ashamed because iF you think about it I only gained 5 pounds!! I am hear to say that you shoul dnot be ashamed of your "failures" becazuse each time it is a learning lesson where you won't do that thing again like me. I won't jog in a plastic suit that's for sure!!1!!

So I am doing okay and you know why it's because I keep going and do not let failutre stop me! and neither shoud YOU.

2003-05-23T19:55:00.000-07:00

I have been trying Dupries' technique but it is taking me some time to figure it out. Today I picked up a plain yoghurt and a spoon and suddenly I heard a voice say "PUT IT DOWN FATTY!!!" which I realized was coming from ME. I scared myself and dropped the yoghurt all over the kitchen floor and then I had to go eat some ice cream with Oreo's to help me calm down.

2003-05-22T20:47:00.000-07:00

I have developed a new Weight Loss Technique called "Put it DOWN, FATTY!!!" and I think it is a WINNER and will make YOU a "WINNER" to! This is how it goes:

If you want to eat something like pie or cake or a ham you should pick it up and look at it and then PUT IT DOWN FATTY! You DO NOT EAT the meat or bacon or frosting you PUT IT DOWN! This is a hard technique to do because it take alot of mental thought and alot of POWER but if you keep saying it to yourself I have to PUT IT DOWN FATTY you will put it down and if you put it back in tgh fridge instead of RIGHT IN YOUR MOUTH you will be less fat! Try and see!

2003-05-21T23:59:00.000-07:00

I was trying to figure out how did I get so fat and was reminissing about my childhood. I remember when I was in sixth grade and the kids used to call me BIGBUTT (like big butt, get it?) Buttman. It was very hurtful to me. I think if they had not called me BIGBUTT that I might not have wanted to eat so much to get back at them. I read somewhere that you eat so much to get revenge on people who call you names like that but what kind of good revenge is that? I dont know but then it becomes "a pattern" and you cant break it.

anyway on another note: how do you think we can get the news of Dueling Dumpies out to the rest of the internet? I thought a lot of people read the internet (at least thousands of people) but I put up a site meter and our day average is not that much. I feel like there are people who can benefit from us and our recipes, poetry, and thoughts about FAT and FIGHTING the fat. maybe we can also get a sponsor.

2003-05-21T18:25:00.000-07:00

Here is an exciting site that has changed my LIFE! http://www.greatday.com/motivate/

It's called The Daily Motivator, and every day it gives you a story about how to motivate yourseld and to be a better person. He does not always talk about FAT but you can see that if you think about it his Lessons can be applied to the BATTLE OF THE BULGE. Like here: "There is no substitute for happiness, nor does there need to be. "

FOOD is not a SUBSITUTE for HAPPINESS!

"You can fill your life with excitement and thrills, "

AND DING DONGS!

" but those things on their own will not make you happy"

IT WILL ONLY MAKE YOU FAT! Like the man in that song about sunscreen says. Thats a reallying meaniingful song don't you think?

" You can load yourself up with material possessions, yet they are no substitute for being genuinely happy."

Or you can load yourself up with meat and ham and pie and cake and ding dongs and snickers but you will not be happy you will just be unhappy and fat so don't live your life in a way that does not make you happy you should have hppiness, right? And then you wil not be fat! I think we have all learned a lesson here.

2003-05-21T00:17:00.000-07:00

I love Ding-Dong's!

2003-05-18T00:56:00.000-07:00

I wish we lived in Texas (we cant say where we live exactly because we heard about INTERNET PREDDATORS who find out where you live and that is scary) because there is a group called Big as TEXAS about accepting your body in the size that it is. I think that it is so important to accept your body and love it even if you hate it and want to lose weight at the same time. It's all about "balance" between loving yourself and hating yourslef. I think that is a wise way of looking at the world. also they had a fashion show and I really like the leather biking outfit it is SEXY.

2003-05-17T20:05:00.000-07:00

We are new to the internet Dinah and me but we are not new to liking good things to read! We are exciting to read good web pages about other "Big Girls" like us who are living good lives and living it large LOL!!! Which is why we like this page alot: http://squoogy.blogspot.com. I found her when i did a search on AOL for meat pies and when I read it I din't really find much about meat pies but I did find a Cool chick. WHich ius why it makes me kind of sad that she would say that we have mustaches. We don't really understand but it's okay we are still "big" fans!

Anyway my weightloss efforts are going strong like my mother would say I am chunging along. I have not lost any more weight but I think that when I put on my pants they are less tight which is great! Will I be able to afford a whole new wardrobe? Who knows! Nothing is as bad as being thin is good like they say so I will not worry. My secret is that instead of taking the bus or a cab I walk to the corner to get my icecream! Just a little excercise works wonders it is amazing!

Today's weight loss thought of the day is this: "The things you fear are undefeatable, not by their nature, but by your approach." - Jewel. Which is so true. Let's "defeat" fat!

2003-05-15T22:27:00.000-07:00

How many people do you think have started reading Dueling Dumpies since we started? I bet at least a few thousand people have read Dueling Dumpies today. Everyone reads the internet! I think we have responsibilities to tell people the right things such as, if you decide to eat candy bars you should not eat the KING SIZE candy bars. If you eat one KING SIZE it is like eating two regular. And you might as well have two regular because it will make you feel more full! So that is my "tip" for the day.

I am going to go eat my low fat chicken soup for dinner and then for desert a funnel cake and maybe some pie.

2003-05-15T19:31:00.000-07:00

Dinah you are so sweet! I think your poem is really good to because I really saw that you were talking about how you were unhappy about life having less butter and that is like saying that life is hard when you are fat with is TRUE!

Anyway, girl, I found the best recipe for pie, today, and it is LOW-CAL! But mm mm it is GOOD!

1 tub butter, softened

1 c flour

1 c chopped pecans

3 pkg cream cheese

1 can whipped topping

1 cup powdered sugar

2-3 Hershey bar in freezer

1 tsp vanilla

5 pkgs chocolate instant pudding

2 1/2 c cream

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease as 8 x 12 inch glass baking pan. Mix together butter, flour and chopped nuts. Spread in bottom of pan. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, until brown. Cool. Whip until creamy, the cream cheese, powdered sugar and vanilla. Fold in 1/2 of the can of whipped topping. Spread in pan on top of nut mixture. Mix the pudding with the 2 1/2 cups of milk and spread on top of cream mixture. Spread remaining half of whipped topping over top. Grate the chilled Hershey bars over the top and refrigerate.

SO GOOD! And the recipe says only 200 cal perserving and a serving is 1/8 of the whole thing! You can eat half of the pie and have only 300 cal! It is good to eat veggies BUT IT IS IMPORTANT TO TREAT YOURSELF RIGHT TO!!!!1!

2003-05-14T21:59:00.000-07:00

Y'all, isn't Duprie the best poet? I mean serious. She is AWESOME at poetry. I wrote a poem today too, but it doesn't have anything as smart in it as rhyming SUN with BUNS.

I;M FOR REAL

I looked at the stick of butter
before I put it into the mixing bowl

and wondered, how many calories
are in butter? how much fat makes a roll?

I wanted to be less fat than I am
so I decided to make the cake without it

but without the butter, the cake
sort of tasted like shit.

my life is like a cake with no butter
if I can't have cake, for goodness sake

my heart will brake!
I can't eat stuff that is fake.

2003-05-14T10:58:00.000-07:00

This is the poem I wrote today, called "Loneliness"

Loneliness

Is sitting in the corner of the playground
all alone where I will never be found
why can't the other kids ever see
that I am not just fat I am just me?

It's very hard to be the only one
to sit in the shadows and never have fun.
when will I get to walk in the sun?
why do you condemn me for eating buns?

Why do they only see the outside
it is something that hides the beauty inside.
I am a person inside here
who would like to be asked out for a beer.

Someday I will be free from the pain
and the emmbarsment unhappiness and strain.
but why do I have to wait until I am thin
Why can't all sizes be the ones to win?1!

Its about how I feel that other people judge me for being fat and how I am lonely becuse people do not see the inside they only see the outside and think that maybe I eat to much so I am not good enough. Its about my pain and I think we can all relate.

2003-05-13T20:01:00.000-07:00

Girl, I cut back on my Snickers and you should see the difference. I used to go through one case of Snickers bars per week. Now it takes me at least A WEEK AND A HALF to go through one case of Snickers! And I have also cut back on Chocolate Brownie Extra Whip Cream Frappuchinos from Starbuck's. I used to have one to "get me going" in the morning and one in the afternoon, and sometimes one also on the way home. Now I only have one per day and on the way home I get a White-Chocolate Mocha instead! With a REGULAR amount of Whip Cream.

I'm not giving up ham, though.

2003-05-13T13:13:00.000-07:00

Today I read where this woman said that she used to eat three SNickers bars every day but now she drinks two SlimFast shakes and she's satisfied. I think that is the key to weight loss not eating candy bars or hams or a pie. I'm going to try SlimFast also.

2003-05-12T22:42:00.000-07:00

This is my latest poem.

THE INNER PAIN

the Inner Pain of being
Fat

makes me think
I'm not "All That"

the label Fat
makes me feel that

I am, nothing more,
than the identity of "Fat"

Why, Jesus?
Why?

2003-05-12T22:41:00.000-07:00

Dinah thinks that she is so great just because she is tall so that she does not look as fat as I do even though she has more chins! (This is a good joke and it's funny because it's true! She has more Chins than a CHinese Phonebook! Ha ha ha!) But she is WRONG when she says that I am fatter than her it is not true! I went jogging in my special suit today even though the doctor said that maybe I shouldn't do it all the time but this once won't hurt, because I have a wedding to go to tomorrow and I have to have Cake!

And you know I lost TWELVE POUNDS!!! That makes me down 12.1 pounds from my starting weight and so now I am 351.3!!! And I will keep it off you know it! So you just TRY to beat me, Dinah BIGBUTTman!

2003-05-12T22:33:00.000-07:00

Someone emailed me and asked why Duprie and me are always smack talking each other. Well, Duprie and me motivate each other in "unconventional" ways. It works for us! And so far I have lost 1.5 pounds!!!! And am down to 363 pounds from my starting weight of 364.5 pounds! And I am .2 of a pound ahead of that BITCH Duprie. (Just kidding baby! You know I ain't hating!) And here is my poetic contrabution:

Duprie
Duprie
Weigh in and see

Duprie
Duprie
You're fatter than me

2003-05-12T22:15:00.000-07:00

This is my poem about being fat.

It is very hard to me to hear
that people think I am ugly
because I am fat.

Do you not believe that I have feelings?
They are hurt when you say things
that are mean to me.

When you make me feel
as if I am not as good as you
because my jeans are size 28

It makes me cry. I cry at night
into my pillow, all alone.
Do you know that I want to be normal?

I want to be like all the other girls
who are pretty and have nice boyfriends
who tell them that they are pretty.

I want to wear summer dresses
and walk in the sun, like all the pretty girls
who are not fat.

Like me.

2003-05-12T22:14:00.000-07:00

Our names are Dinah Buttman and Duprie LaBouche. We are both 31 years YOUNG and we are best friends forever!! (BFF!!)

We met when we were 14 at fat camp, yes FAT CAMP, where Dinah's divorced father sent her and Duprie's grandmomma who raised her. We got fatter afterwards, but at least we had each other from THEN ON. When we realized that we both weighed over 350 pounds, in March of 2003 (girl, put down those Eskimo Pies!) then we knew we wanted to put a little less holy moly in our roly poly.

You know we spent a long time saying We're Not Fat, We Just Have Big Bones! But we have realized that we have BIG MEAT wrapped around those BIG BONES! It is time to FACE FACTS. Together we know we can BEAT THE BIG MEAT and live REAL LIVES. Our Inner Beauty will become Outer!

What better way we said to ourselves then to lose weight ... TOGETHER?

This web page is our way of Controlling the Calories as Co-Losers in the BATTLE of the BULGE! We will post exciting recipes, good tips and most importantly, ENCOURAGEMENT! It is a race to the finish line, and the fatty who finishes first (we mean gets to Goal Weight) wins! But let's not forget that we are all winners!

2003-05-12T22:00:00.000-07:00

Bring it, bitch! I will kick your chubby ass three ways til Tuesday!

2003-05-12T21:38:00.000-07:00

Yo, fatty! Get your round bitch ass over here and I will take it DOWN.
