Ok. So there's no excuses now because I refuse to fast a month before leaving for Miami/Bahamas. Plus, I can't even skip a meal anymore without getting light headed. I remember the days when I'd have a great weekend of combination pizza, Hook & Ladder chicken burger, pineapple milkshakes, and a box of vanilla wafers. On Monday morning, I'd have to suck in to button up your Levi Strauss 501 jeans. Well in those days, that was my indicator that I'd have to skip a few meals for the next two days. And then "wa-la", I'm back in my Levi's all comfie. Well, not anymore. Not only do I have to diet but I have to go to the damn gym, too, to lose 2 lbs.
Why is that when you're dieting that all you think about is food. I'm looking at food I wouldn't even normally buy or eat and think to myself. "If I weren't on a diet right now, I'd just throw lots of onions, ketchup, and maybe chili beans and eat that juicy hot dog."....that was my thought last night when I got Tayshaun something to eat at the theater. If you know me, then you know that I get nauseated when I smell a hotdog in the vicinity. So tell me, WHY? do I obsess over food when I can't have it.....ok ok ok.....I obsess about food even when I can eat it. And if you know me, then you know I ALWAYS have ice-cream at the theater. Karate Kid would have been perfect with a double scoop of chocolate fudge brownie and oreo cookie ice cream in a waffle cone. YUM! But nope, I settled for Green Tea. WTH?
This morning while I'm making my bland coffee (creamer free) and thinking about my meals for the day I was thinking to myself...."Gawd, you better hope you never get thrown in a concentration camp or a Singapore prison, Yvette. Because I know I'd sell one of my sisters for a milkshake and fries right now. Hmmmm, it'd have to be Lisa because I'd probably want to keep Lena around in case things got really bad. I might have to go Jeffery Duhmer. And somehow I think I'd live longer off Lena's thighs than Lisa's." I know, I'm a sicko!!!!! That's why I don't stick to a diet....it makes me crazy.
But every once in a while, I don't indulge. And that's when I obsess. And since I'll be living in a swimsuit for a week, I BETTER stick to a diet. I actually can't wait which is why I know I won't use the ..... "well I can just go for some fried Vegas sushi roll, today, and start fresh on Monday".... there aren't very many Mondays left.
My goal is extreme (for me). I gained 10 lbs over the winter but I want to give myself an extra 10 lbs off for gaining back....5 lbs for all the snowies Tayshaun & I will be having over the summer and 5 lbs for the all-you-can-eat cruise meals. So my goal is 20. I got 15 to go. Yvette you can do this but I can't do it for more than 4 weeks. So I'll be obsessing in ALL OF JUNE. And I'll be planning for my first meal of freedom....July 1st.
Good luck to Me.
