okay. seriously. this has got to stop.
i am out of control.
for about two months, i have been the picture of health. my nutrition has been spot on, i've been sleeping. i've been working out, going to crossfit, spinning, swimming... you name it, i've done it.
its been fantastic. i've had that i look good, i feel good, life is good complexion. i've been upbeat and happy. my pants have been getting bigger, my ass has been getting smaller...
the world has been my oyster. for two... months...!
but then i did it.
i'm doing it.
i'm screwing it all up.
*sigh*
seems like, whenever i start seeing results... whenever the nutrition and the exercise do their magical bootie blend on my body and i start shrinking... albeit slowly.... i screw it up.
sweet. i'm gettin' skinny! this rocks....
i think i'll have some pizza!
what. is. my. PROBLEM!!?! i do it every time. and i know it. eeevery time. but then i do it anyway.
AND IT IS SO ANNOYING! its like there's this switch in my head that alerts my body.. wherever the "feed me" sensor is stationed, to go into overdrive when i dip under that certain number on the scale.
i bought.. for the first time in honestly i don't even know how long....
POP TARTS. earlier this week. and chocolate ones at that...FOR NO REASON! i wasn't even hungry at the time. it was like an act of defiance.
i'm losing weight?!?! HA! i'll show that fat percentage who's boss...!!!
who the toots eats pop tarts anymore? i mean come on.
so. in an attempt to end this dieting debaucle in one fowl swoop i decided to...
eat wendys at lunch, ice cream for dessert and pop tarts for dinner. (with the thought there being.. well. the sooner i get rid of these, the sooner they'll be gone. heaven forbid i do the unthinkable and... oh i dunno... throw them OUT!)
*ahem*
i'm so nutrionally sound.
ANYWAY! i also went to the store, bought veggies and fruit, some turkey and avacado, and will, once again, board the health-smart band wagon and get my ass in gear.
seriously though..
if there's some sort of smack yourself up-side the head remedy for self-sabotage, i'm all ears. this has been my routine now for... how old am i...
oh yeah.
about 27 years now. and its got to stop!

I know exactly how you feel sister. I drop a couple of pounds and those damn cookies start calling my damn name and when I ignore them they start screaming. Good luck and if I need a smack up against the head too, I'll let you know. -chuck

I probably have a Pop Tart every day. I'm big on the strawberry ones. 85 cents. Usually around 2pm. Like clockwork. Love em. Never give them up. Ever.

I just kicked the pop-tart habit. I was partial to the Chocolate ones, but strawberry was a close second.
After some teasing from my house-mates about the "healthy girl" eating pop-tarts, I actually read the ingredients list. Since I now know what that mile-long list of ingredients does inside my body (thank you Dr. Littleton of BioChem lore), I was horrified! I then came to a realization... When I bit into the poptart, it really, truly did NOT taste good. It was an emotional connection from my childhood. AFter that, I tossed the one w/a bite missing, and the other 7 in the box, into the garbage. Good Riddance.
This might be the longest post I've ever written ;)
