if you ever want to remember why you go on a diet; go to a store and try on some clothes..

day 110...

**disclaimer 981...after you try on clothes at a store and then you want to slit your wrists...think about this, the people who are manufacturing clothes are skinny bitches & f**ck'em all...

...this will be short & sweet...i went into the city & ate & then went into a couple of stores & got rejected from all of my clothes i tried on (which sucked because i thought i was doing well pre-new york & those sizes, you know for damn sure i am not about to divulge that number, fit me otherwise) & then realized that my diet is so far from being over...when you need a reality check go try on a pair of shorts or pants from the gap or express because they sure do not fit people who have hips or asses...and ps to all you designers, etc...it says boyfriend style for a reason, i am not dating no skinny ass guy so why the hell don't they fit like my boyfriend's pants would...

i am done, screw them all...

day 110...trying on clothes sucked my left toe...but that didn't stop me from eating...

...until "my fat ass tries on more clothes that do not fit" Sunday...

maybe its better when i go into the city; then i can eat as much as i walk...

109 days...

**disclaimer 210...balance, balance...you should have a balanced diet, a balanced lifestyle & when you eat fries, a burger, & a shake you might want to balance it out with a piece of fruit and a stroll through the park...

i stayed out of the city today but ate just as much as if i were in the city...not the best idea but what are you going to do....i had 2 bowls of cereal (& not the good for you cereal but the sugar, good stuff...lucky charms & fruit loops)...and then a turkey wrap, and then some homemade trail mix (my cousin made it & it was way way good, filled with dried fruits, nuts, chocolate/vanilla chips, need i say more)...then later on we went to this way cute restaurant way way north of the city...we had, i felt, everything...started with calamari, then a salad with a fab dressing, & then our main dishes a brown rice dish with chicken and yogurt/red sauce, & a coconut milk curry with noodles & shrimp...and the ice cream place was closed so we passed on that..but when i got back i had a coke with some pretzels and rice cakes...what am i going to do with myself...

my apologies for the chronicles of my eating & how boring and ridiculous they are...but i am back to the city tomorrow...

...day 109...a lot of days, & a lot of days filled with ass increasing food...

...until "the city i shall return; watch out" tomorrow...

P.S...the frozen hot chocolate from Serendipity was AMAZING...& there was so much more i wanted to eat, but i couldn't because i was by myself & i thought that would be slightly inappropriate...

so i am wearing my old jeans & i can breathe...

day 108...

**disclaimer 430...the more your body is in pain the more muscles you worked (screw the people that said after working out you should not be sore, what the hell do they know, they are probably already in shape or skinny)

...well i have been in new york 3 days now & i honestly can say i am a little exhausted...you walk a lot (and some times i get turned around so i mean i walk more than the average person, like today i made a huge square because i was walking the wrong way)...not a bad thing at all; first, great exercise & second, because i am eating my face off, so it helps maintain my weight (ohh ps i also have on my old jeans i stopped wearing because i could not breathe & i had a muffin top & they are totally comfortable; however i also tried on a pair of pants from one of those tart stores & could barley pull them up, i guess it kind of balances out & also reminds me that i have work to do)...

over the past 24 hours i tacked on to my ass, sushi (not crazy bad for you), a corn beef sandwich from Katz's (which was phenomenal, i mean the corn beef melted in my mouth & there was no need to even chew), a bowl of cereal (lame for nyc, but cereal can stand on its own to feet any where), a white mocha (though i did non-fat and 2 pumps of white mocha), a chai latte (also non-fat) and a butter croissant (now i know croissants are not good for you however this place which is located on Lexington Ave; right near Grand Central Station, called Crumbs had the most amazing looking desserts, I mean the cupcakes looked amazing as well as the muffins and the bars, I might go back to just taste them & then affix them to my ass)...i also went to a diner (hell i am on the east coast you have to go to a diner), it was called City Limits & i had the corn beef hash with poached eggs and hollandaise sauce, it had the most divine flavor, i am sad to say i did not finish it (my brother nick would be sad/disappointed he did not even get to taste it nor get to finish mine)...but i have been walking a lot so that is helpful & currently as we speak (or rather as i blog) i am sitting in the prettiest library ever, the New York Public Library (corner of 5th & 42nd next to Bryant Park{new york's fashion week takes place there}) it is a breathtaking sight & i have never been in this library before & i am in awe...& afterwards i am going to venture to Serendipity (quaint little cafe/restaurant; 60th between 2nd & 3rd, close to the east side of central park) to partake in a frozen hot chocolate (they are supposed to be amazing & i always wanted to go there ever sense the movie Serendipity)....ohh the adventures of a fat bridesmaid...

day 108...the jeans are on; but the pants would not even go past my knees...what are you going to do...east some more; well i am at least...

...until "the adventure" continues....

being in new york = lots of walking = maybe not a fat bridesmaid....

day 106 -- 107....

**disclaimer 765...even though being in the city provides lots of food it also provides lots of exercise...maybe a balance, i guess it just depends on how much you eat...

...ok, so i should have sent out a warning signal...i am in the city or new york city (the city i love), and will be here for 2 weeks...so once again i will ask for you to be patient...so it might become Operation...N.M.F.B meets the city as opposed to Operating N.M.F.B one day at time struggle not to eat her face off...and this journey will begin and end with me eating my way through the city; however I will also be walking the majority of the way...so i am hoping my ass does not expand too much...it is hard being in a city where every 2 feet is a restaurant with a different type of cuisine...will power will have to sustain because i am not going to lie, the points will not...i am trying to be mindful with my eating and controlling what i can when i can & then I shall go from there....so i ask for you to be patient...i will post as often as i can & update you on my status of Oper. N.M.F.B takes on New York...

the first couple days in the city were good nothing too crazy...probably drank more adult beverages than i ever have in the past 2 years...officially, i am a light weight, good for whomever is buying the drinks, bad for the bartender & good for me because the calories will not add up...on sunday we went to a place in brooklyn (williamsburg) and i had chicken sausage with amazing sauerkraut, and then a dark chocolate candy bar to die for...yesterday i ate dumplings right off of 32nd street in little korea; which were so good, & for the first time i had a vegetarian dumpling, green outside so i was a little weary at first, but boy did my stomach smile at the end of that meal...and then i finished off the day at a brazilian restaurant, where i had a steak (their seasoned steak with white rice, amazing flavor)...and it was good; so not too bad & between all these eatings i walked pretty much every where along with my 2 bags which are like carrying dumb bells...& as for today i started off with a iced soy chai & will be venturing to Katz (a famous deli in nyc; kind of btwn the east village & little italy) where i will be enjoying a nice deli sandwich; probably corn beef and something...Cheers!!!

day 106 - 107...i have best followers ever; & i applaud you for taking this adventure with me & my ass as we walk/eat through NYC...

until "more walking & eating tomorrow...

i am in new york & eating (go figure)

104-105 days...

disclaimer 298...you only live once might as well eat your way through....

i am in new york and will add more to that...so of course i eating which will then be a direct result to my ass doubling in size...however i have more to add, again i ask for your patience, & we will talk soon...

ps i weighed myself yesterday before i left and i am the same, so that is a good thing, & hopefully that will not increase over the course of the next two weeks....

until tonight "hopefully"

so what do you do when you can't count points?

day 103...

**disclaimer 592...when going out to dinner or a party, try not to be too concerned with points or dieting, 1st no one gives 2 shits, they want to enjoy their food, without thinking about how many calories are in the food & if you are there counting or watching what you are eating it will definitely mess that up...& 2nd what the hell is the point of going out and having a good time if you can't eat...

...did i mention that i like to eat out a lot (i know i LIKE to eat, but i am talking about going out and eating)...so how do you the diet and do the thing you like to do the most...

1. an obvious way, is that you cut way back, you can actually reduce your ass by half if you stay at home and eat

2. search for healthier items on the menu...salads & fruits can be helpful & tastefully delicious;)...

3. put the sauces/dressings on the side, so you can use a smaller amount

4. stay away from anything fried (hard one for me, because i love french

fries)

5. remember you don't have to eat the whole damn thing (wrap it up & take it home or leave it...so you don't have to indulge 2 days in a row)

...& then some times when you go out and completely blow it...do not fret too much...the next day is a new diet day....

103 days gone by...& on this day i went out to eat; had a burger but did not eat all the fries...

...until "no more eating out" sunday (well we will try)...

i almost didn't post, & i ate a cookie...

day 102...

**disclaimer 863...the hardest times to diet are the moments when everyone around you seems to be eating what you want to eat...who am i kidding, the hardest times to diet are 24 hours a day, 7 days a week...

...i am so out of it...i cannot even begin to tell you...i honestly almost forgot to post something...i am currently working on a sowing project and i was in a groove & just was not thinking...i mean sowing is a good thing (any activity is good as long as it keeps me from eating) because i was focused on that instead of feeding my fat ass...never fear my brother brought me a cookie (from subway, they are so freakin' good)...

but let us focus on another positive...i had a nice walk today...my niece & nephews take swimming lessons, & it just so happens it is down the street from my brother & sister in-law's house...so after 2 of them were done we walked home...now let me tell you, first of all i was pushin' my nephew in his stroller, & he is extremely cute kid, but he is a fat kid (takes after his aunt)...so add him in a stroller to a hill (more like a freakin' straight up incline) that leads up to there subdivision (it is quite a doozy)...let's just say it gets your heart a pumpin'; especially when my lazy ass (do you like how i just change the adjective in front of the word ass, it allows for my ass to have several diverse personalities, fat, lazy, lumpy, huge, etc.) has not exercised in awhile...well thankfully we made it and i didn't not keel over on the top of the hill...

....day 102...enough for today...25 or maybe more points (nothin' crazy; just more of those small bites from everyone)...

...until "i promise i won't forget" tomorrow...

hump day was a no diet day...

thee hundred and first day of Oper. N.M.F.B....

disclaimer 349...never do anything half ass..so if you are going to blow a diet you might as well do it with bang...

...my bestest friend turns 30 tomorrow but we celebrated today...and by celebrated we had a little adult beverage, koolaid;) (which i have not done in awhile & i think i should do more often because it was way good)...and i also ate some french fries and chicken tortilla wrap (which i split with the birthday girl, hell that is better than eaten the whole damn sandwich by myself)...this also provides room for dessert & dessert i had..of course i did not eat that alone, my brothers & i walked (check, there is the exercise for the day) down to coldstone & i had coffee lovers only, like it size (i could have gone bigger) in a cup (& i definitely could have gotten the waffle bowl or cone; see i am making healthier decisions all across the board, walking, smaller portions, & opting for no cone, who the hell cares if the actual ice cream is a gazillion calories & goes straight to the ass, the important thing was i made some good, healthy decisions)...yep that was my day...good friends, a celebration of my bestie's birthday, (actually there was 2 birthdays to celebrate; i just tried not to go crazy) & mmmmmmm delicious food what a way to spend a hump day...:)

101 day...points = ___ (you figure out the ice cream, fries, etc. & get back to me)....how was your hump day, what did you do to get over the hump (we all know what i did...ate;)?...

...until "back to normal (hopefully)" tomorrow....

100 day celebration...for I, the fat bridesmaid, my fat ass & the damn diet...

100 days....

**disclaimer 375...when you have a craving...push through it...some times you win & some times you lose...

...today was kind of like yesterday...i pushed repeat & did what i did yesterday with a few differences...i actually left my apartment to help my brother paint & then realized how hungry was...i started to crave everything, pizza, panera, chinese, pretty much everything...i even held on tight when my brother asked me what i wanted to eat...i replied nothing and opted for a bowl of soup, salsa & chips...so as far as today goes i won in the craving department...cravings are often my problem; & normally i have to say the craving wins & i lose...but some how today i managed to stay on top...other than that my life was a bowl of fun (not;)

...day 100...and it was a good 100 days...some bumps in the road but i made it...and day 100 was a good day...23 points...

...until '101' tomorrow...

back at square one...

99 days (1 more & we have hit the mother load, my ass being on diet (well sort of) for 100 days...)

...week 15...weigh day...i lost the 3 pounds i had gained so we are back to a total weight loss of -13.5 lbs...

**disclaimer 96...work (or as i refer to work as = dickin' around on your computer) & sit far away from the food it will definitely help your diet...because if you are even a 1/3 of lazy like me, your ass does not want to get up to get food when you are in groove of doing something productive like being on facebook (i am kidding that was only part of my day:)...

...i got what i hoped for and that was to lose the weight i had managed to gain over the course of one week (that is scary thought, i managed to gain 3 whole pounds in 1 week; i better watch myself or it could manage to grow a third ass if i am not careful) i was not dieting...so hopefully i am back on track...today went well...i had to do a couple things & managed to realize that if i did not force myself to eat or get out of the chair i had glued my ass to...then i would not eat the entire day...but my stomach was yellin' "hey pseudo skinny kid, how bout' some food, don't even try to ignore the inner fat kid, because you know i will win & then wreak havoc on your body..." so i finally got up and ate some food...(& yes we all can agree i have a very strange imagination;)...cereal was 2 meals of my day, i freakin' love cereal & i almost could eat for every meal or all my points; however i realize that it does not create the most balanced diet...i should have walked today but again somehow my ass was not moving from inside my apartment nor the chair (i also have this philosophy, which is has no relation to dieting; but it is just as genius as my dieting philosophy, as you have witnessed over the course of 99 days;);), that if you do not leave your apartment, then you will not spend money & i realize that going for a refreshing walk has nothing to do with that; but i would find some way spend money, so me not going was for my financial welfare or a fat kid being lazy; you decide)...wow that was a tangent; i will shut up now...

day 99...week 15, lost 3 pounds = total loss = -13.5 lbs...ate 24.5 points...

...until 'no more tangents & being more active' tomorrow....

never have i ever been so fat...

day 97 1/2 & 98...

**disclaimer 318...you're fat, you're fat...eat a donut & get over it...

...i am so not in diet mode & i need to be; because as of tomorrow morning; my fat ass will be gracing yet again the "ohh so dreaded" scale...and when it stares back up at me, it is not going to read something pretty...i am trying to be confident in myself and maintain that i least stayed the same or lost the 3 extra pounds i managed to gain from the weeks prior (i doubt it but a girl can dream & pray really really hard)...& then hopefully as i go through tomorrow after i get over the fact that my ass has a mind of its own & wants to stay the huge size it is...i will get back on the diet horse and pray for the better days to come for next week...p.s. another added fear of mine is we had a family party this weekend; which means, (i know we have lots of parties, with lots of food...) there was enough food to feed several small countries, including my ass....so we shall see...

...97 1/2 & 98 days...pray for me and for the scale...i don't think i can even be the slightest bit positive...

...until 'eeeeeekkkkkk' tomorrow

let's go shopping...

day 96 & 97 1/2...

**disclaimer 211...shopping is fun just don't do it while you are hungry, because you will not be making wise choices...

...~ps i am sorry for not posting last night; i cashed out and did not wake until this morning; so here it is...

....yesterday i went shopping for my sister in-law, sister, mom & myself...and if you have been at my house lately i have absolutely no food (i mean i am not trying to eat my face off; however that is no way to lose weight)...i made my way to giant "ripoff" a.k.a giant eagle, they actually have an amazing bakery, & wonderful produce (usually) & that is why i choose to go there...

...as i weaved my way through each and every aisle & got what i needed for them i picked up a few things for myself...it is super pathetic how bare my cupboards were...so i decided to give you some shopping tips according to none other than the Fat Bridesmaid...

...tip #1: (everyone says it)...do not go shopping hungry; your head that says i need to eat healthy; will get drowned out by your stomach that says, "go ahead get a candy bar, that will satisfy me, until you get to the chip aisle...

...tip #2: start in the veggies & fruit area; maybe that is why they put in the front of the store...even if you are hungry all the food is out there like a buffet, so you can have some samples & eat healthy at the same time (& for all the people who think the store does not want you to sample, think about it; why would they leave the bag open for the grapes, or have the apples just sitting there without being in a bag...

...tip #3: if you feel the need to get a treat, go down that aisle, you need to face your fear & fat ass head on...pay attention to what you are eating (the calories, fat content, dietary fibers) & then maybe pick one from the salty aisle and one from the sweet aisle...

...tip #4: pick foods that satisfy your hunger and do not waste points...i got quaker rice cakes, instead of cheetos, you can have like 8-10 rice cakes for a point & like 15 cheetos for like 3 points (that is not an accurate count for the amount of food or points; but i am pretty close)...& most fruit is a range of 1-2 points as opposed to chips which range 3 points and up...eat good food you like & more of it; which doesn't cause your ass to grow = everybody wins...

...tip #5: choose from the five food groups, (people have been saying this for years; i am not that smart)...this gives you a balanced diet; & when you stop counting & constantly worrying about dieting the ultimate goal is a balanced diet...

96 & 97 1/2 days..enough shopping tips from me...go shopping get some good food (& don't get forget some bad; remember balanced diet)

...until "keeping the diet balanced" Sunday...

it was a close call..

95 days (5 more & then day 100 of a million day journey)...

**disclaimer 576...go ahead & buy that secret indulgence, and then pass it off to someone else...take a bite, satisfy your craving & then walk away from it...your belly is happy & your ass didn't grow, it is a win -win situation...

...today was a weird diet day & i came close to jumping off the edge into a pool of fat like 10 times but i pulled through...i managed not to eat my entire chinese meal, thank you very much to my brother who saved me...it actually worked out perfect because i got enough of what i wanted and he finished off the rest especially because we all know that you can eat chinese food leftovers for like a week straight (& i prefer cold, day old chinese food to fresh any day)...so i would have put it to my ass for several days & my brother saved me...so find a friend or family member who you can pass off your bad food decisions too...they will thank you later or rather curse you later...i also enjoyed little tastes of my niece & nephews food throughout the night...another tip: just take bites they add up to almost no points, just ask my ass on the weeks when all i had was a taste of that cookie, or a lick of that ice cream, or a bite and half of french fries...i said it was a tip, not a great one that you should diet by...

day 95...lost track of my points, i had too many little bites, but i did not go crazy...and i had ONE double stuff oreo cookie (another love of mine) & then i decided not to go for the second, snaps for me...

...until "no more close calls" tomorrow...

ohh the words....

day 94...

**disclaimer 291...words can be damaging; however they can also be very powerful...so when your fat ass friend goes on a diet make sure you provide the powerful ones, no matter how much you want to say "hey fat ass, i thought you were on a diet, why you eatin' that donut?"

...since i have been back i have had some very meaningful, encouraging words thrown my way & it is definitely helpful on the bumpy, lumpy (wait that is my thigh) diet road...i think that it is often times the one thing that keeps us, dieters (yep, i officially put myself in that group) going (let's be serious, it is not all the "fun" food; if that was the case, hell we would all be skinny)...it is the fact that people take notice of your ass not looking like the great state of ohio, or that your hips have shrunk & your brother who normally utters a comment like "hey thunder thighs" instead says, "damn you did lose some weight."...these provide us a little more steam to keep pushin' & might even be the difference maker when deciding whether or not you want to have ice cream or go with the berries instead (not always but definitely some times)...so my tip for the day...~~spread the love (hold the fat, keep the cookie to yourself) & share some words of encouragement today with your friend who everyday wakes up & thinks what food is going to try take me down today...they will reciprocate later when you become the fat ass (yeah that is right, think before you say those damaging words, because guess what; karma is a b*tch, trust me i know;)

...94 days...i feel like i have started all over, i have to get my rhythm back...thank you for your words, much appreciated....

...27 points, i went for the coffee drink....

...until "more successful day because of you" tomorrow...

i almost forgot, but i am back & fatter than ever (kind of)

~week 14...weigh day (a day late)

~days 89 - 93...

~weigh day...not the greatest of news but i gained 3 pounds; so my total loss went down to -10.5 pounds...(i almost cried but i kept it under gaining 5 pounds; so i was able to control myself from wanting to cry, then go eat a candy bar or 2)...

**disclaimer 627...after being on a diet for a period of time (yes, i am going to say it), your body gets used to a certain way of eating...& when you deviate away from that way of eating your body lets you know it;)...

what a couple of days & what a way to eat through them...i ate everything from chips to cookies, to popcorn, to cake and pasta....i went crazy i can't even tell you i held back, i did not and my body felt every single part of it...i think my body was saying to stop eating but some how the food kept up ending up in my stomach...i fat breathed like 10 times & at one point or another i thought i saw my ass expand...and to be honest i remember thinking, i need to go back to my diet eating (yes i was just shocked as you are as you read that statement)...my body was saying (& often times screaming), stop eating and give me some good food...i was all out of whack...and so today i came back pretty strong and i am feelin' better for doing so...note to self, when the cake comes a callin', think twice before you dive in face first...

**week 14, 89 - 93 days...ohh how the days have come and gone and i have added 3 pounds (i wonder how that happened)...

**& i forgot to mention i almost forgot to blog, & i am almost decided i could wait one more week to start back up, but i was persistent & made it through the day...and i am hoping to be back on top starting with having my ass dropping off again;)

**24.5 points not too bad...so until "another diet day" tomorrow...

**ps, worst of all aside from the ass expansion, i missed you...

ohh my holy fatness....

days 85-88...week 13...

**disclaimer 163...(& maybe i have said this before)...however go big or big home; & that is what happened over the last couple of days...

i know you missed me & i just need you to bare with me for a few more days of me not being constantly in your life & then next week i will be back, all asses in...again i will be gone for a couple days (i have such an exciting life), with for real, no computer access, so just reread my old blog posts (yeah that sounds like lots of freakin' fun) & i will be with you every step of the dieting way (barf, that was lame)...so tuesday will be the weigh day & then i do not anticipate anymore leaves of absence in my dieting (it is probably better that way; otherwise we would be in big trouble;)...

...so yes, this past monday i did weigh myself, and i think i either lost a 1/2 of pound or stayed the same, which will make no difference come next week because i have been bad, like a fat kid in a free candy store, bad...i was celebrating, so i decided to have a feast (not just one day but everyday)...& i was also traveling & who wants to be on a diet when you are around fabulous food of another state or city (so food i ate & the ass will grow)....i ate this amazing breakfast with apple chicken sausage & yes it was so tasty...& then later on this week i had chicken wings (which i love because they are tasty & fried)...and you can fill in the blanks on the other crap i ate...i did try to control myself but when spinach & artichoke is calling your name, you have to dive in...

...did i also mention that i did about a 1/2 second of exercise and the rest of the week consisted of me exercising my foot on the gas pedal...so all in all it was an extremely successful week for dieting, i mean eating...we shall see how much damage i do come next week...

...thanks for being patient with me...

...don't worry i will be back to fill your lives with dieting fun...

...85 - 88 days have come and gone & i might have increased my ass size...

...until "back to the grind" on tuesday...

p.s...did i mention i miss you too;)...

Christ rose from the Dead... & I ATE!

83 3/4 & 84 days...Happy Easter...

**disclaimer 39...a holiday is a holiday, might as well enjoy it and eat your face off because as tomorrow sets in so shall your reality of just how big your ass has grown in one weekend ;)

...Easter, a holiday, another reason for me to enjoy some eatin'...yummy, yummy in my tummy...but i will still stand on that scale and take a deep breath & look down to see the number...& even if i do not report the tip of the scale tomorrow night i promise at some point i will let you know what is up with me & my body...

over the course of this blessed weekend...i was blessed with some food, one of my indulgence was an iced venti soy caramel macchiato blended, "omg" it is one of my absolute favorite drinks & i enjoyed every minute of it...i also had potatoes, roast, corn, turkey, chips, veggie & dip, pretzel jello x 2 servings, some candy...maybe i should tell you what i didn't eat...and i am actually considering asking my mom to make me some homemade popcorn...i know totally acting like a true fat kid...& when you play you pay, so.....

days 83 3/4 & 84...got to love me some holidays...hope you all had a nice Easter, blessings to you and & your families...fingers crossed & prayers for weigh day...

until "a weigh day & a few days more maybe" tomorrow...

a slight delay but lo' & behold a post...

day 82 & 83 1/4....

**disclaimer 29...patience is a virtue...and is it one hell of virtue when it comes to dieting & waiting for your ass to shrink...

i apologize for my delay in posting...was a little preoccupied with my busy schedule (in other words i ran out of time in my day; insert laughing cause we all know i am semi-retired & don't have a busy schedule...)

first thing is first let me explain what will happen in the upcoming week...i am on vacation, hell i am always on vacation ask my family but i am going some where other than my vacay home, beautiful toledo, oh, i am going to chicago & illinois wesleyan during the course of the week...so access to a computer will be spotty & i am not promising a post everyday next week, i will try my bestest to update you...

2nd lent is finished (for 40 days we fast from different foods, like Jesus fasted in the desert for 40 days & forty nights), my point in telling you, is that i am giving myself a "yippee week"; meaning i will not be following the points to the "T" (insert another laugh; cause we all know i struggle anyways on a regular basis, so what is new)...& besides i am going to want to eat fun things while on vacay:)...i am hoping nothing crazy because we do not want to repeat losing every part of my ass all over again...so just a little fun and then back to business...

so folks you have been so wonderful, just hang with me for one crazy fun food filled week & don't worry we will get back on track...besides dieting is like a roller coaster anyways, & this upcoming week will be one hell of ride...

...lastly yesterday was ok...had this amazing salsa my sister in-law made with black beans, corn, avocado (my favorite as we all know), onions (i hate but will manage as long as don't see or hear the crunch in my mouth), salt & lime juice, which i think was pretty healthy & it tasted so so good, it actually was my dinner, not exactly the best planned out dinner, but it tasted great & satisfied my hunger...

82 & 83 1/4 days...we discussed a schedule & for all those who want to stalk me have at it...but i will keep you posted, especially if i am eating amazing food, pray i do not go crazy,

...until "for sure posting" sunday...(i am going to have to tell you of the fun easter food)

i gained 5 pounds in one day...must have been that sundae, the piece of cake, the soda, the french fries, the....

APRIL FOOLS...cheesy, but i had to do some thing...

day 81....

~~exciting news, 203 people have viewed my profile (thanks for telling your friends, keep it up, you are doing a great job;)...i don't think that is a big deal but i am excited...my weight is going down & more people are checkin' me out (i am cheesy all over the place today)...

**disclaimer 320...even though we complain about dieting (well maybe it is just me)...clothes do look better on you, probably because there is no bulges sticking out or overflowing fat...

...i substitute taught today and i was so lucky that the PTA brought in lunch for the teachers and i got the benefits of being in the building...i kept it together and did not get all crazy on the food...they had a baked potato bar (way good, baked potatoes & then you add whatever fixin' you want, can we say a fat kids dream)...and then they had salad & desserts...i had a potato with butter, parmesan cheese (a good cheese to eat with not a lot of fat), & sour cream (i adore sour cream;)...and a salad with light dressing...and 1 (yes, only 1) cookie (i actually left the room after i made my plate, probably to avoid the temptation of wanting another cookie)...& i split some cheetos with my students (which meant i did not feel the need to finish the whole bag by myself; dieting tip: pass off some food to other people, then a.) you are not eating alone & b.) half the calories;)...yeah i am a thinker)...so for the day i am going to give myself a pat on the back...& i finished off my day with cereal, so all in all that was some good eatin' today...

81st day...24 points & all that food, damn i'm good...

...until "another satisfying day of eating"
