Pardon the crankiness here. Since my last post I finally decided to quit bitching about my weight and actually do something about it. I joined LA Weight Loss, went through the 2 day detox and now on my second week of their program. The weight is coming off, 7 lbs in 13 days. BUT WHAT I WON’T DO FOR A PEPSI, A BACON CHEESEBURGER AND FRIES!!!!
You think I’m a ho for yarn, you ain’t seen what I would do for the above mentioned. Of course, probably doing a yarn diet and a food diet at the same time may not have been the wisest of ideas.
The only thing keeping me somewhat good in the yarn arena is I’m flat broke from my Socks That Rock binge in March and on the food front, it was time to face the facts about my own body weight. I’ve been in denial about being overweight for a while now. I was the disgusting kid in high school you wanted to bitch slap that could eat 2 burgers, 1/2 a pizza and not gain so much as an ounce. But unfortunately, taking a desk job at a string of high stress jobs, not being active and developing some terribly habits has caught up with me. I’m 50 lbs overweight, I don’t look it thanks to being 6 feet tall. (There has to be some benefit to being this tall, trust me when I say there aren’t many other benefits.) But reality has gotten shoved in my face about how bad I have gotten.
Somehow I always thought I would do something tomorrow, that it wasn’t a problem and hey everybody else gets to eat what they want and has no problems so why can’t I? Wrong, dead wrong. I’m not 16 anymore and my blood sugar problems (gee, I wonder why) don’t let me get away with whatever I want.
So now I’m going to do something about it.
Sometimes the hardest part is the first few steps. Congrats on taking the first steps and keep your chin up, and your attitude bang on. Keep it up, and don’t forget to thank yourself and your body for what you’ve already done.
You go girl – the hardest part is starting [believe me, I've procrastinated enough!] Hang in there – you can do it!
