Weighing My Weight

Self assessment isn’t the easiest thing to do. However, the process can be very therapeutic, and is a necessary step when trying to grow progressively. When I look at Jamees Wright, who do I see?
Sigh! Over the years, I have grown to accept some of the harsh realities of the makeup of Jamees Wright. And they are as follows, Bubbly! It’s a very sad day when you wake up and find out people think of you as bubbly. But hey that’s me.

Corny, hmmm I still think that is debatable, but I can see it...sometimes, but I do believe this trait is mostly demonstrated in a refreshing way that can make you laugh. Naïve, is one that I’m working on, and I hoped to have sharpened my eye.

However, the Jamees traits that began the thoughts on this blog and the What Women Weigh website, is Jamees the analyzer, debater, the motivator and yes I can admit it, the dramatizer.

It all began with this quote, “Never ask a woman her weight.” It bugged me, and on further research, I found that if you Google that quote, you will find various entries advising to never ask a women her weight. I thought it preposterous!

Most of the times when I tell people what I weigh they are blown away, mostly because I have always weighed a lot more than I appeared to. This helped me to realize early on that my weight measured in pounds did not actually mean anything. Taking it a step further, I find it hard to believe that a measured pound can really define anybody inside and out, which is why I threw out the old bathroom scale along with the bland numerical answer of my weight.

The definition of weight from dictionary.com that this blog will focus on is the ability to evaluate in the mind and consider carefully arriving at an opinion, using importance, moment, consequence, or effective influence to form a weighted opinion. All women have the capacity to possess this, so why shy away from the question, “What do you weigh?”

I would simply, smile bubbly, front my naiveté, and tell them my opinion. Many may think that to be corny, but I am Jamees Wright, I am a woman, and my opinion weighs a ton.
Women of the world I encourage you to throw your weight around!
