what a hump day...

**disclaimer 323...the hump is the hardest part to get over...so if you happen to slide down & have to start climbing back up again...just envision a big fat slice of cheesecake on the other side it can definitely provide motivation...

we are going to postpone the "where i moved to effecting my diet," until tomorrow; why b/c let us talk & visit the subject of POTLUCK (it is actually a bad word when it comes to dieting)...that is what we had at work today, a POTLUCK...so not only am i combatting chocolate but now a wide variety of food...& the POTLUCK was amazing, wings, mexican dip, cookies, cupcakes, candy, pop, salad (wait that is healthy), and the list goes on...i did ok, not as great as i could have but it was my first POTLUCK, and it was baptism by fire...

did i mention also i went to someone's house for dinner, which means i ate more...so i did not make it over the hump today, i just sat at the bottom & ate:)

...until "making it over the hump a day later" tomorrow...

& it is second day back in the circus & i am almost forgot...

...so here i am getting ready to climb into bed & then i was like ohh sh*t; i forgot to blog & so i got out of bed & now i am typing...can we say D-E-D-I-C-A-T-I-O-N!

*disclaimer 683...be patient, usually when you get back on the horse for the first time; you are bound to fall off now & again...

...so here i am day 2...now my new job...well i have recently moved to michigan, (no worries i will forever be a buckeye fan & always bleed scarlet & gray)...anyways my new job is working with chocolate...like hi we were best friends; not i see you from a far an give a friendly wave...i am selling chocolates; which means i am tasting, wafting in the glorious smell & basking in all the wonders of chocolate...now one part of my job is knowing my product so i have tried some samples (well a lot), & i wish i could say differently but i have thoroughly enjoyed every single piece...this also leads me to have some major will power issues, that i need to face head on...especially when i am at the actual place where the chocolate is being made...i realize this is not part of my diet regiment, but a girl has got to get paid (& did i mention; it is an easy sell; who doesn't love chocolate)...

...so here i am day 2 & making it through...well that is still up for debate...

...until "saying no to chocolate (some times yes)" tomorrow....

look who is back...& skinnier than ever....A BIG FAT NOT, literally...

...here i am trying to get back into the swing of things b/c ladies & gents...it is almost time to face those bridesmaid dresses head on & say, "go ahead & try to make me look like a fat ass."

disclaimer 102...remember when i said never give up, i was totally not kidding, look at me several months later & still not admitting defeat...

...today was naturally weigh day & you will be glad to hear i have lost -1.5 lbs. (now mind you, if you look you will notice that this particular loss has been over the last few months, i know i am the diet queen, and we shall now hear the roars of laughter)...this now puts me at a total loss of -17 lbs. (if you think about that it is almost 3 --6 lb. babies; scary right, well it is that time of year to catch a fright...however i was ecstatic to realize i was maintaining and then actually lost a pound after the whole several months of mowing down on food & still not exercising... (remember that promise; i still have some time, not a lot but enough)

...tmrw. i will tell the tale of my new job which proposes a small problem (or huge) for true fat kids...stay tuned for this one b/c if you think working in a restaurant is bad wait until you hear this one...& then on wednesday we will discuss the geographical (hold the phone; i know i just used a big word; i think i saw it in the newspaper & decided to throw it out there) move i made & how it is now affecting the diet-o...& then on thursday we can discuss my plan of action for the two new adventures in my life & how i am going to exercise (for the record, i went on a walk last week, 1 out of 7; we all have to start some where)...& then friday i will be trying to psyche myself up for not wanting to eat Halloween candy...i know i am busy girl with lots of issues this week; but hopefully we can work them out & be back on track...

i know you have missed me; i have received a million emails (or maybe 1) saying you need me in your life...so never fear the fat girl is here & ready to b.s. you once again...

until "the b.s. continues" tomorrow...

here is the 4-1-1....

**disclaimer 38340...DON"T EVER GIVE UP...especially when it comes to shrinking your ass, if it can't depend on you than who can it...

...so i suck at life...which we all know from the lack of blogging and i have mentioned it a million times over...

...so i am on a hiatus...not a good thing when it comes to a diet...but i am coming back, b/c both brides have reminded me that i have less than 6 months to order a dress and maintain a size for an additional 6 months...so eeeek, i do not want to be up shit crick, come january....so i will be back...please be patient...me & my fat ass will be back...

...hopefully within the next couple of weeks...

thanks for being rockstars:)

mmmm.....its wednesday....why not eat a burger....

food for thought: wednesday...

**disclaimer 941...fruit = eat it...healthy but also can satisfy your sweet tooth (& lets face it you can eat a hell of lot more fruit than chocolate)

...now first, i am not saying you should indulge yourself in only fruit but it so good...especially the summer when it is all in season & fresh, the fruits in the summer are some of my favs...so here they are and their point value, just in case you were wondering...and i realized after stocking my fridge with fruit that i can eat way more of it and save my points for other things like a cheeseburger with a fried egg on it, french fries, a wedge salad & a taco (i am just saying, hypothetically you could use your leftover points for that instead)...

~peach (1 6 oz.) = 1 pt.

~nectarine (1 4 oz.) = 1 pt.

~plums (2 thats right i said 2} 4 oz.) = 1 pt.

~strawberries (1 1/2c. {not just 1 but 1 1/2 c.}) = 1 pt.

~blueberries (1 c. & they are good for your brain or immune system; hey i am not a doctor, just a fat kid trying to live a skinny kid's dream) = 1 pt.

~blackberries (1 c.) = 1 pt.

~cherries (1 c.) = 1 pt.

~kiwi (1 4 oz.; but i only like them when they are really good, and ripe but not too ripe) = 1 pt.

~apples 1 lg {8 oz.) = 2 pt. /1 sm. {4 oz.} = 1 pt.

~banana (1 6 oz.) = 2 pt.

...i mean amazing & i am no mathmetician but if you eat one of everything that is only 11 points...and you for sure will be full....

...so the lesson for this food for thought wednesday...FRUIT = EAT IT!!!

...until "are you enjoying your fruit, because i am;)" tomorrow...

so the 2nd day, not as great but not terrible either...

...positive thinking tuesday...

**disclaimer 572...just go ahead & eat...especially if you hanging out with your family & friends...remember tomorrow is another day & you can diet then...

...no matter what happens, you just have to go with the flow & that might be the possibility of blowing a diet to enjoy a meal with some of your favorite people;)...the most important thing is don't fret, just eat & enjoy it; then wake up tomorrow morning and face it head on with a diet mind set...live in the moment & if that moment does not call for dieting, eat the cake and smile as it goes down the hatch...

...i ate a little more than i wanted but the company was priceless, i'll deal with my ass later...

...until "a diet filled day" tomorrow...

i am coming out guns a blazin' & facin' the scale head on...

weigh day...loss = 0 lbs. total loss = -14 lbs....

disclaimer 845...keep saying "no" until you are blue in the face...(remember when you were a kid in school and you took part in the just say no to drugs program & they taught you several ways to say no, well that wasn't the only thing they were preparing you to say no to)...yep the food that wants you to double the size of yourself...so keep it up sistas, "just say no"

...when i am not dieting i can say that i pay attention to what is going into my fly trap...which often times can save my ass from growing week to week...thank God for that...so here i go again and stayed the same weight & i am definitely not complaining because i did not gain...however in order to drop some more poundage i need to diet (count points, because we all know it works) & i need to get my body moving...so for day 1 of being back on the wagon...(even though it was a close call, the bride & groom decided to extend their invitation of eating pizza to me, i turned the bride down flat & she backed down, but the groom came out strong; however even though i participated in this delight, i stayed within in my points) i am feeling pretty good, i just need to keep the ball rollin' for real (i keep saying it, because then i will believe & do it)...

...ohh the familiar territory that we keep going back to...but we have to stick with it...i have a lot riding on it, not just my ass but a bet (remember)...

....until "positive thoughts" tomorrow...
