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?)
