YUCK
Every time I see that picture of me, Pat Tomasulo, and Keenan Smth for the Bally's Fitness Challenge, I want to shoot myself. (Or the person who took the picture!) I feel fat, old and yucky. i know I keep complaining about it but it's just bugging me like crazy! Take for instance the fact that I tried on my pants from last summer and they don't fit. Or the fact that I have to wear glasses in order to read the teleprompter. Or that my face is sagging in the same spot my Mom's is. Now my mother is a beaufiful woman but she's twenty years older than I am. I'm forty one years old and twenty pounds overweight! If I gain ten pounds a year, I will be considered obese by this time next year. And by the time I'm 60 I won't be able to leave the house without a forklift. Those people who say "Embrace your age!" obviously don't work in television. Or they have fantastic make-up and hair stylists. Who has the time or the money? I'm sick of constantly dieting and exercising. What I'm really hoping is that those Bally's trainers can work a little magic on this old broad.

Hey, I just wanted to drop in and say that even with hectic mornings, I still make time to laugh with all of you. And you all look great! (blog entry)
I have one question, if any of you guys know, drop me an email...a long time ago, Wgn used to run a lead-in trailer type thing with a tv and some piano music and a dog that barked one time. It was played during movies on sundays I believe....is this gem of commercial work still out there? And if so, can the loyal fans get it posted somewhere so we can see it again for old times sake? lol I'm a dork.

Good luck to you Marcella! I'm working with a Bally's trainer and having a fantastic experience. I have no doubt you'll succeed! Consistancy and Persistance is what I learned it takes to lose weight and be healthy.

Marcella, I'm 27 yrs old and I still think you are a babe. I'd rather see you for a full hour behind the anchor desk instead of just two minutes giving a report.

Dear Marcella,
The past 2 years I have spent in Colorado were terrible, mainly because I never got to see your smiling face! Now that I'm back, can't wait to run into you at a story. You've always been beautiful and still are...remember what I used to tell ya, "Jackie Bange eat your heart out!"
Your favourite Chaplain.
