Next official weigh-in will be Monday, April 5th so stay tuned!
As of now I am down 12 pounds. Things are definitely slowing down but I'm still in the zone, and as long as things are on a downward trend them I'm OK! I was down 12.5, but we had Rita's last night :( Boo. I love Rita's but I don't know what I was thinking! Wait, yes I do. They have sugar free ices and the flavor changes weekly - I think. Last time we went it was Mango-Peach so I thought everything would be good. It was ROOT BEER! Iiiiiiiick! The correct answer here is to get nothing. Instead I got a regular sized cookies 'n creme Italian ice, and I ate half of it before throwing it away. Oh well. Live and learn.
Hopefully it will be off tomorrow, and hopefully I can behave myself through TWO Easter dinners! No wonder I've gotten fatter since getting married.

RSVP: Yes, I'm Fat
After 8 days on plan I am down 10 pounds! Too bad I'm too much of a fatty for anybody to notice a 10 pound loss. :/ Oh well, onward and upward right? Or onward and downward, as it were.
My plan for this week is to try to increase my water. I drink Diet Coke like it's going out of style and I am not even a little bit sorry! I do not want to quit it, AT ALL, but I think it would be advantageous if I get in some water too. I have some of those little Crystal Light flavor thingies, do those count as water?! They better.
So I have this wedding to attend in 6 weeks. Ok really it's in 5 weeks 2 days but who's counting? (Me. That's who's counting. Me.) I'm not trying to lose weight specifically for that but since it's an 'event' I was trying to decide much I think I can lose by then. If I lose just 2 lbs per week that's another 10 lbs. Woo-hoo, right? And I think I can do even better than 2 per week, at least for the next week or two. I guess time will tell.....
And then I need a dress. Whole. Other. Post!
The bridal shower for said wedding is in 2 weeks, 3 days. I was going to not go, as I'm not that keen on social affairs when I'm this much of a piggy. And I don't like games. Sorry, but it's true. I didn't even particularly enjoy my own wedding shower because we played a humiliating round of "The Newlywed Game" - family oriented my ass. My mom emailed me today and said "I hope you'll come with me" followed by a damn smiley face. Well now I HAVE to go! Who can turn that down? And I didn't even have a good excuse lined up; 'I don't want to' is never considered a good one, unfortunately.
So now there's that. Can I lose 50 pounds in 2 weeks, 3 days? Yeah I guess I could... I will just have to decide which appendage(s) to cut off.

Terrible News! (Warning: Drama Queen post ahead)
My computer died! I am heartbroken. December was it's 4th birthday and I guess in computer years it was ancient. It was having some problems and then this past weekend it just refused to start up. :( I have no interest in getting it fixed. My husband and I will shop for a "family" computer soon... in the meantime I am bogarting his work computer at night after he goes to bed! I am really bummed about all the stuff that was saved on it though - it's my own fault but still, I'm bummed.
In light of this devastating event, I have been online less and therefore not blogging regularly. I also have not uploaded any pics; the last thing hubby needs on his work computer is fatty pictures!
Everything has been going well since Monday! I've lost 5 pounds as of this morning. I know that's all water retention/bloat but whatever. Gotta start somewhere right? Today I did really poorly though, as I ate next to nothing. I had some chicken nuggets around 4:00 and then just now - at 11:30pm - had a Steak-Ums bowl with pepper strips. Oh, and I licked the scooper after getting B a bowl of ice cream! Old habits die hard.

My Husband's Fat Wife
I feel so bad that my wonderful, poor sweet husband has a fat wife. (If anybody in the audience is a little slow tonight, my husband's fat wife is me.) I was a size 14 when we met and then again when we got engaged - sucker got duped twice! I lure him in and then I get fat. Oops. He is kind enough to never say a word about my weight, my size, what I eat or don't eat, dieting, or exercising. He takes me as I am and I am very lucky.... and I feel like he deserves a hot(ter) wife!
I did my 'official' weigh-in this morning and I am easing into Diet Hell. I've decided to stick to my trusty low carb/no sugar way of eating as that is how I feel the best and lose the best. Plus it gets me to a good point where I don't feel like shoving food into my fat mouth all the time. I'm a strong believer that everybody should do what works for them and I try not to be Queen Judgey McJudgePants about it but......(oh who am I kidding I will always be Queen Judgey McJudgePants)...
I just don't understand how peeps can get by on plans like Weight Watchers! You are allowed to eat so much crap on that as long as you count the points. Having said that, my mom has been doing WW for 2 years now and has lost a lot of weight. She looks great and it works for her because she doesn't have to give anything up. Her house is full of all these 100 calorie snack packs, 1 point cookies, 1 point fudge bars, etc. She must be great at portion control. One bite of a cookie and I would then turn the box upside down to devour the rest!
That's why low carb works for ME; I can't have the sugar or I just want more sugar. I need meat and fat! I won't say I do Atkins because I don't need the grief uninformed people tend to spew at me when they hear "Atkins" and go into immediate tirades about how I'll die from only eating bacon. Save it. Go and be a Judgey McJudgePants behind my back, please.
This weekend I'll be eating more consciously and getting my food together to hit the ground running on Monday - or you know, as close to running as I can with this big behind! My first 'goal' is to fit into a sweater I got for Christmas that I really like.
I'll post pics. I'll post stats. I'll post menus. Stay tuned, the fun part is coming! Yay for diets! (Hey, this fat wife is trying, OK?)

Color Me Fat
If 'Fat' was a color in the Crayola box I would be monochromatic every.single.day. For the forty-eleven millionth time I am going on a "diet". I know that word has become taboo, as we are supposed to embark on a life long journey of change and healthy eating, or some crap. But, to me, I'm on a diet. Let's call a spade a spade.
I'm 29 - 30 this summer - married, currently unemployed/laid off, and live near the beach. My husband of a couple years is a couple years older than me. He works A LOT, which I hate until payday. When I was 26 I went through a really horrible break-up and of course vowed vengeance! I lost 55 pounds from January 1 (the last time I saw the asshat) to mid-July. Skinny I was not, but pretty pleased with myself. Then I got engaged.... then I started planning a wedding... then I started gaining weight back. Um, hello? What bride GAINS weight? Der. And then I got married, went on the honeymoon, and settled into newlywed life... and kept gaining. Now I'm even bigger than I was when Asshat left!
I keep looking at all my really cute size 14 clothes and thinking what a moron I am. Little clothes are too cute to not fit into! And so the madness has to end and I need to kick my butt back into gear. Obviously, I know how to do it because I've done it before - I just need to remember.
So here we go........! My journey to remembering - remembering how to eat properly, remembering how to feel better, remembering how to call up my willpower, remembering how to walk without being tired, remembering how to fit comfortably in an airplane seat or an amusement park ride, remembering my way to the "normal-size" section of the department store, and on and on.
Being fat is hard. Losing weight is hard. Pick one.
