Chasing away Chubby

First off, thanks to my girls Annie and Leeda for being so supportive of me and my unconventional diet plan.   :)  You girls ROCK!!

Today was a good day eating wise. I didn’t eat until 8:30 PM.  It wasn’t intentional.  I was BUSY all day writing lesson plans and a research paper that were due tonight for class. I didn’t even THINk about eating.  I got done when it was time to leave for class.  My plan was to go through McD’s and get a cheeseburger and a salad, but the line was miserably long so I just went on to class. I wasn’t really hungry yet anyway.  I WAS feeling really tired though because I had been  up til 2:00 Am writing lesson plans and researching the aforementioned research paper.  I got up at 6:00 got the kids off to school (their last day! YAY!) and went back to bed at 7:00 then was up at 8:30 with DS4, and back to the grindstone. So anyway i was feeling pretty tired so I popped my energy pill (metabolife extreme energy- $10.00 at Wal-Mart- they don’t make you jittery, just give you a little boost- LOVE them!) So when I got to cvlass one of the girls had brought  a sort of keylime cheese ball.  So I ate one graham cracker with that stuff on it.  It was pretty good.  After class I pigged out.  Which is okay since I am allowed to eat WHATEVER I want.  So I ate 2 cheeseburgers, a small onion ring, a small portion of the chicken salad-salad (lettice, grapes, apples, cranberries, walnuts…mmmm) without the dressing and then stopped and ate a chocolate eclair I bought from the grocery deli.  I was just so hungry!!  So no more waiting so late to eat.  I wanna make good choices when I do eat my onemeal a day.  I could still probaly lose weight pigging out like that everyday-once a day, but I wanna be healthy and that means making better food choices.

I am happy to report that day 1 back on the plan gave me amazing results this afternoon!  Down 5 pounds from yesterday!  Yippee!  So that is vindication enough to keep doing this.  This works.  It gives ME control over food.  That makes me feel POWERFUL!  And you have to feel POWERFUL to lose weight!  See I like me better already!!

Have you girlies ever heard of Fatbet.net?  It is exactly what it sounds like. You get a group of friends together and you make a bet to see who can lose the most weight, or at least make their goals.  I am doing it with the ladies on the journaling boards and wondered if anyone would want to do it here.  We could do our own bet.  Maybe, if you don’t make your goal, then you have to post your picture on here in your bathing suit.  Something like that to me would be very motivating.  Any type of wager at all, if anyone has any suggestions I am open to them.  If anyone wants to do this let me know and I will get it together.
