How a grocery list ruined my day

Posted by: getupnow In: General

I was digging into my fall/winter clothes for some jeans and pulled out a pair of size 14. Ok, usually if they are “mom jeans” (SNL fans know what I mean) that come up around the waist I have to have a bigger size than usual because of my huge hunking waist size. Then the rear ends up too big because the flatness of said rear is a cruel freak of nature. So anyway, point is that I reached into the pocket of these jeans and there was an old washed up store list. Which means that I had these jeans on in the spring. Which further confirms the fact that I HAVE MADE NO STINKING PROGRESS ALL SUMMER!!! I mean, yeah, a few pounds maybe. But nothing very measurable.

Progress was made in running, though. So it was not a total wash. I can just see that these last 10-15 pounds are going to be a B*TCH!!!

So we leave for the wedding today. My 83 year old uncle’s wedding. That one. Tonight we will eat at O’Charley’s and I have scoped out my options and will be having the California Chicken Salad. The weekend makes me nervous though because I get very Rainman about breakfast and lunch and I won’t have my normal breakfast and lunch until Monday. Yikes. If I can’t lose weight being as careful as I am at HOME, it sure isn’t going to happen over the weekend.  :roll:

I am getting really frustrated. I want to be DONE with having to lose weight. I want my only focus to have to be maintaining and working on my fitness. I am sick of the fat. I had to try to shop for a dress to wear to the wedding and it was just not good. For one thing, I friggin’ HATE dresses. Then I was stupid enough to try on a sweater dress. WTF!? What? Was I in the mood for a little self loathing or what? Sheesh.

The good news is that 90210 starts next week. There I said it. It is out. I do indeed plan on watching 90210. And I am quite excited that Kelly is back, as well as Brenda. I am very disappointed that there has been no mention of David, because he was getting pretty hot there at the end of old 90210.

Have a great long weekend, peeps.

I know this feeling well. I’m was wondering yesterday if I’ve lost at least 20 lbs since Christmas, WHY OH WHY are my 18’s STILL fitting. They are not falling off of me, they are not loose (until I wear them for a day or so). They fit just fine. WTF!! I can wear 16’s now, but not ALL 16’s and they don’t fit as well as the 18’s. Which sucks b/c I have a lot of 16’s sitting in my drawer just wating for me (they’ve been waiting since I got pregnant with my daughter) They miss me.

You know what? Maybe the weekend will be good for you… I hear that mixing up your food choices is good for weight loss. :)

And what is this 90210 talk?? I was so addicted to that show (and Luke perry)!

Maybe it’s the mindset - the difference between maintenance and loss is only a few hundred calories a day - maybe you need to just resign yourself to this long long term (maintenance mindset) and be in “strict” maintenance for a few months until you are really down to the maintenance level…. :-)
