Wednesday - And I'm Fat!

OMG!  I did what I have been avoiding for a few weeks now...I stood on the scale.  Yikes!  I knew I had been gaining weight, clothes fitting tighter and tighter, but gee whiz I weigh more now than I ever have except when I was pregnant.  And, unfortunately for valid excuses, the only thing that is pregnant on me is my butt!  And no offense to my beautiful co-worker who says "all you need is a butt and a smile to get what you want in life", I don't think she meant a butt the size of Texas.

Ok, let's start with the excuses: 1) I'm a stress eater and I've definitely been under a LOT of stress lately; 2) I am having to work more now that I am again a soon-to-be-single mom; 3) that means less time to eat right; 4) that means less time to cook; 5) that means less time to exercise.  Another beautiful co-worker said the other day "If we don't have time to eat when we work, how come we are getting so fat?"  That is because we eat chocolate when stressed, grab what is fast, etc.  This sucks!

Now let's formulate a plan.  Atkins worked before, but I don't think I have the discipline this time...maybe who knows, we'll see.  I've already had more carbs in one meal today (and it was Lean Cuisine) than allowed all day on induction, not to mention the 4 cookies and two bags of chips (snack size of course).  Ugh and double ugh!  So that mean exercise, exercise, exercise.  Drink water, water, water.  DIEt, DIEt, DIEt!

I need help and encouragement!  I will try and log in everyday (AOL and daughter damaged computer allowing) and report my progress, if any (and it had better be something!) if you promise not to ask me "what is a white girl like you doing with a ghetto booty?"

Well, here goes nothing:

Weight: 126.2 (height 4'10); Exercise: 25minutes - Slim in 6

 

The Wreckers: Stand Still Look Pretty

I want to paint my face
And pretend that I am someone else
Sometimes I get so fed up
I don't even want to look at myself
But people have problems that are worse than mine
I don't want you to think I'm complaining all the time
And I hate the way you look at me I have to say
I wish I could start over
I am slowly falling apart
I wish you'd take a walk in my shoes for a start
You might think it's easy being me
You just stand still, look pretty
Sometimes I find myself shaking
In the middle of the night
And then it hits me and I can't
Even believe this is my life
But people have problems that are worse than mine
I don't want you to think I'm complaining all the time
And I wish that everyone would go and shut their mouths
I'm not strong enough to deal with it

 

Ciao!  De ;)
