Weight didn't move this week...haaaaaaaaaate that, I mean really hate it, the fact that I am already having trouble in only week three (entirely sans cheating so far) is extremely discouraging. I introduced apples, grapes, yams and mini whole wheat bagles, so I am guessing I need to 'unintroduce' those things again and see if my weight loss picks up again. The good news is I have had so many stunning conversations with friends on Saturday I played Scrabble all evening with my two best buddies in Philly, they have actually done the South Beach extremely successfully and were part of my inspiration to try it, we spoke about the challenges (breakfasts on phase 1 if you like cereal-luckily not a personal vice for me) and the triumphs, they have managed to keep their weight off for ages now. I also spoke to another colleague and friend who is extremely eloquent and verbal and who battles the exact same demons, in a side note she was saying that her thinner family feel morally superior to her, and I was thinking 'yup I have definitely experienced that in my life', NEVER ever from my family , but from people who feel the need to dispense caloric philosophies to me to 'help' me see the error of my ways...the kicker is most overweight people I know , know everything there is to know about calories: they just don't know how to control consuming too many of them at given times.
I managed to do a few nice things while my honey was away this week, and stave off the dreaded boredom-eating trap. I saw the Pennsylvania Ballet and they were just breathtaking...utterly transcendent, but even at my dreamiest, most determined, I never want that kind of body, they look great flying through the air and all, but they simply don't measure up to what I personally consider beautiful, which is not to say that many other people on earth don't believe ballet dancers and their pre-pubescent forms are the most fantastic, sexy things out there, but I do not agree, not in a world where Christina Hendricks exists, she is so ravishing she makes my eyes hurt.

Hey Ang, let's see if this works, going to try and post something. I tell you it was day one of my cold turkey on chocolate today and I was in a worse mood than my first day without cigs...I actually had a top-deck slab in my hands which my dad had bought yesterday and managed to find the strength to not eat it and give it to my mom. I tell you I have been thinking about it all day but am reminding myself of all the times I have been depressed due to clothes no longer fitting me....
ReplyDeleteOh god I looooooved top decks...luckily we can't get them here , Cadbury's has been bought out by Kraft as well, which means soon the chocolate will taste like the paraffin they use in amercian chocolates which will help you go cold turkey...I don't ever, ever eat American chocolate, it is monstrous...'love Americans , hate their chocolate.
