I try to tell myself that this is not my life. That this is not real. But alas, I have to give in and face the fat. So far I am not doing a good job at being healthy...but tomorrow is a new day. I went grocery shopping today and purchased healthy food. And not healthy food. Or maybe it was semi-healthy. Weight Watchers (from here on referred to as WW) has me believing I can eat whatever the hell I want, as long as I don't go over my points. Oreos? Check. Fruit snacks? Check. My wife looked at me with disapproving eyes, but hey this diet isn't about what we can't eat.
Saturday is my birthday. But I won't be celebrating it at Texas de Brazil like I'd hoped. Not because of WW though, I have a toothache. And the right side of my face feels like hell. So, seeing as I can't chew food like a grown-up anymore, all you can eat steak is definitely not an option. Maybe it's a blessing in disguise. But I do hope I can at least go to a restaurant and get a bowl of soup for my b-day :-/
I'm so scatter brained. This blog post went in a totally different direction than what I was going for with the title. I'm a fatty. I'm 27 and I work at a University were I also received my undergrad degree. I'm a lesbian, so if you're not down with gays, please hit Stumble. I'm married, and we have the sweetest dog ever. I want to lose weight so I can live as long as I can with my wife. I want us to be active and healthy together. I want to be a sexy butch and it's tough when you have to wear men's big and tall. And not because you're tall. I want to tuck my shirts in my pants...some of will appreciate that, some of you won't but seriously there is something fascinating about tucking.
This is me. All of me. I don't know what will happen through this blog, but I want to share my experience.
Peace
Good luck with WW, I know you guys can do it! What worked for me with WW was I started to really value my food. Before WW I would just be concerned with eating as much as possibe, not ever allowing myself to be hungry, and eat whatever was easiest to get to my face. With WW I learned to find the lowest point foods that made me feel the best and then tried to find out ways to make them taste good. Like, the WW cream cheese packets, I would use those to create a sauce with peppers, tomoatoes shreaded cheese, and salsa; then put that in a two point burrito. It was really filling and really tasty. I guess I just put a lot more thought into all the things I was putting into my mouth. It took a while, but I ended up learning a lot about myself. Good luck in your journey!
ReplyDeleteThis lady at my job lost 102 lbs on WW so know that it can be done! We should work out together :)
ReplyDeleteMy skinny goal is to be a runner. Let's do it!
@Aimee Here is my thing with WW. I love the idea of it. I hate the work behind it. I'm still trying to figure out the point system. I've had an account for two weeks and only today did I start actually putting in the points. I hope sooner than later I get the hang of it.
ReplyDelete@BC let's work out together. Let's run from my house to Blanchard. Jolene doesn't like working our at night but I feel like my block neighborhood is pretty safe. I'm not trying to be up in blanchard after dark though obvi. My skinny goal is to tuck my shirt in my pants and wear a tie that doesn't stop just below my boob.
