I eat. A lot. End of story. I eat when I'm bored. I eat when I'm upset. I eat when I'm hungry. I eat while I study. I eat while I watch movies. I eat, I eat, and I eat. And THEN, just when I think I am full, I eat another handful of pretzels dipped in peanut butter or a yogurt. Well enough is enough. Things are starting to get a little out of control. I have promised myself every night this past week that I am going to get up and run. Just check my last blog post. I called my own mother a "Lard Butt" (a constant insult we throw back and forth on a regular basis) and told her I was going to start running again in the morning. Did that happen? Ha! No. It's been empty threats all the way. What did I do that day instead of running? I had some ice cream-complete with the whipping cream and everything. In fact, just as I took my first bite of ice-creamy deliciousness, my mother called to let me know she had lost yet another pound. Well this is it ladies and gents. It's over. I am trading in my chocolate bars and ice cream for my asics and weights. I mean . . . I'm starting to feel like I am on the slippery path to well something along these lines:
(Unrelated Tangent- Does it make anyone else EXTREMELY uncomfortable that the woman on the far left is holding onto the fat-roll of the woman next to her? I'm freaked, just sayin'.)
So, that's it. It's over. I'm jumping off my binge eating train. Wish me luck! It's my new resolution for the rest of the summer my ice cream, brownie, krispy treat, chocolate intake will be limited to one on Saturday. And by one, I mean just one dessert, not one of everything . . . naturally.
Song of the day was, Almost Lover by A Fine Frenzy.
Good Night All!
Ugh....... all I can say is UGH for a moment....... :/
ReplyDeleteFirst of all, your ice cream sunday photo is *great* - YUM! But the eating issue is truly such a difficult issue. For those of you who really are healthy eaters at the core, and can get back on track like you do when you see that things are getting unbalanced or out of control, that is SO AWESOME!!! Because it means you are normal!!! That's what normal people do. And you will be able to continue that healthy habit throughout your life. Which means you won't end up with food issues, or transfer food issues onto your children. So don't be hard on yourself - give yourself credit for saying 'enough is enough' and choosing the better road.
And yes, that other photo completely FREAKED. ME. OUT. Especially because if the girl on the far right had dark hair she would look WAY too much like me! LOL! :D
XOXOXOXO
Okay, first of all- the girl on the far right looks absolutely nothing like you AT all-dark hair or otherwise. But you did make me LAUGH right out loud. Oh my goodness, can you PLEASE just come be my roommate for this next fall? LOL!!!
ReplyDeleteI'm just a few hours away from my first ice cream free day. What a rush! And by rush I mean, I think I'm having buzzy withdrawals. Is there an ice cream patch?
XOXOXO.
I truly wish I could help you, but I am trying my best to get through this Day In Hell, meaning I am out of BOTH diet Coke and Ruffles at the same time. SERIOUSLY. I'm still in my freaking jammies. I can't even talk about it.
ReplyDeleteThe only thing I can come up with that might help, is to get some sugar/fat free Cool Whip??? I think it even comes in chocolate??? You could maybe try that just to help you not have to go cold turkey! :/ But I do have to commend you! At least put a star on your forehead or SOMETHING!
XOXOXO
Well I would just like to say that you will NEVER be able to do it so go ahead and grab a gluten free brownie(dinner plate size), and a half gallon of super-super chocolate chunk extra creamy ice cream and just surrender.
ReplyDelete:)
I am on my way to the gym!
BTW. . .
ReplyDeleteMy butt no longer has its own zip code. I am fitting into my skinny jeans.
Go ahead and eat!
Love,
Mom
Oh yeah?! That's definitely an improvement since it used to look like the fifty-first state (Population: one. Capital: Cellulite-ville.)!!!!
ReplyDeleteJUST KIDDING!
I had to get you back for the super-super chocolate chunk extra creamy ice cream comment. . . that's just cruel. You're my mother, you're not supposed to MOCK my pain!
Did anyone else wonder about the girl on the far right? I think she is standing there thinking how great she looks compared to all of those FAT girls. Uh-huh. Such a petite thing...! Everything is relative I guess.
ReplyDeleteI will say that I have been carrying around a bag of chocolate covered pretzels (my favorite treat) in my purse. They are 26 calories each and if I am good I reward myself with a few.
The only problem so far is that they whisper to me ALL DAY LONG telling me how good I have been...:)
oh Karen...you make me laugh. A baby...well, all i can say is GOOD LUCK!
