Day 2

Since I started my blog yesterday, I have been overwhelmed by the responses from friends. Everyone has been so supportive and as it turns out I have picked up several "weight loss buddies". Everyone has made great suggestions as well. One friend even said that she recently started Weight Watchers online and lost 9 lbs in two weeks!! I'm impressed!

I am hoping to do a thrifty weightloss plan as if losing weight isn't challenging enough. I may still try out weightwatchers, but I currently already pay for netflix and we stream movies through our Wii all the time--turns out, they have a ton of workout videos on there. Nice! I am trying hard not to go buy some pink weights or a cute yoga mat and hot workout clothes. Trust me, the temptation is there.

Maybe I will let myself if I hit my goal by the end of this month.

Anyway, Day 1 went fairly well. I stuck to all my rules except the eating late one. However, I did keep my late night snacking healthy and had green peppers with hummus. And, fine, yes, one little dollop of whipped cream....straight from the can....into my mouth. I am such a fat girl at heart :( I've already forgiven myself, so it's okay!

This morning started off with a bowl of fiber one cereal, lunch was a Jennie-O turkey Italian sausage grilled with whole wheat bread. (Tony was eating one. I had to try it. Was it good? No.) There may or may not have been a couple chocolate chips here and there between sips of coffee while folding laundry.

Today is my "day off". Every Tuesday, the girls go to daycare and I usually take the day to catch up on laundry with both of my free hands.....or go to Target. By myself.

Well, the laundry is doing its thing and I am on day 4 of my Target ban. I do have a million other things on my to-do list, but all I can think about is baking another apple pie :/ After all, I did buy enough apples to make two and I wouldn't want them to go bad. Now you may be thinking "Well, fatty, just eat those apples. They will be better for you by themselves." but the problem is I bought specific "pie-making apples" and seperate apples for eating AND I happen to have a second crust sitting in my fridge. I am probably going to go ahead and make the pie. Stop judging me.

This will be my true test. I am purposely not keeping all sweets and things out of the house because I know myself well enough to know that if I cut it out completely, I will binge and justify eating poorly later. I will be balls deep in a chocolate cake yelling, "It's okay! I haven't had ice cream all week!"

Everything in moderation for me this time around!

To everyone who has reached out by commenting or sending my emails/fb messages, thank you! Thank you, thank you, thank you! I do now feel completely accountable and 100% supported. My lovely husband got home from work last night and as I watched him read my blog he actually laughed out loud. That alone made my day.

To all of my fellow fat girls at heart (my FFGH)--

I was so thrilled to hear that I may have motivated some of you to join me and we can support each other along the way. Please share your battles with me as well. I need that!

To my skinny bitch friends who are a natural 115 lbs, or never wore maternity jeans while pregnant, or lost your baby weight by your 6-week post natal appointment or who are my mom-

You should know who you are (especially you, Mom, I called you out by name). Your comments are welcomed and appreciated, but keep your size 2 judgement and single chin giggles to a minimum, please.

Anywho, tonight's dinner - Ratatouille! The most appetizing way to eat veggies without grilling them, if you ask me. I've never made it before, so this should be interesting. Wish me luck!
