So, today, as disgusted/horrified as I was, I got my butt out of bed while Kyle showered, took him to work, walked around town and back streets for about an hour at a good pace, went to the grocery store, got mostly meats and veggies, and am going back on Atkins for a while. This morning when I got home, I had a few ounces of ham from our ham that we baked the other day, and for lunch/dinner, I got a couple tiny lamb chops (I hardly EVER eat lamb, but I LOVE it)and broiled them with Malabar pepper(freshly ground - YUM!), sea salt and fresh rosemary, little bit of garlic. Never cooked lamb before, but it came out PERFECT, so I had the choplings with a small salad. Before that I had a couple TBSP of peanut butter cause I was starved.
SO, no more bread, cake, lo carb pasta, mashed potatoes...for carbs it's going to be veggies, berries, fat free plain yogurt, and apples. It's an all or nothing thing for me, and I can't just have 'a little' of something, like cake. The NANOSECOND it hits my mouth, a chemical reaction takes place and if cake was a drug, I'd be a junkie. Crack? NO, CAAAKE!
I have come too damned far to start going the other way, but I took a firm grip on it today and hopefully will keep this monstrous eating disorder I have under control. Hey, it may not be anorexia or bulimia (why puke up perfectly good food?!?) but the mindlessness that comes with eating things in inappropriate portions needs to be addressed.
Oooh! There's a fly on the keyboard. I think I'll eat it.
Anyone know the carb count for a small housefly?
Thanks for listening to my whining....

Once again you made me laugh!! You can be Mooingshark if I can be Ari Oink (instead of Ari Elle!!) I love my new job, but in the 2 weeks that I have been there, I have gained 5 pounds, myself. I don't know what has come over me!! ...except to say that my co-workers and my bosses love to eat out. I did it for the first week or so to "fit in" with the girls, which has been alot of fun, but now I'm paying on the scale and in the tightening fit of my pants!! Last Wednesday was the last day of work for the girl I replaced and my boss took the whole office (10 of us) to Red Lobster and we all (except a couple beef eaters) had the snow crab. 1 1/2 pounds of the stuff!! Not something I get alot because it's kinda pricey, but my boss is a very generous guy!! OH MY GOSH!! I thought I was gonna explode!! I even had to give 3 huge crab legs to my boss. I don't know where he put it!! Tomorrow we're going out again to celebrate a couple of birthdays at the El Paso BBQ Company. I love the food (obviously...DUH!!!) but this is becoming a problem. Soon, I'll be wearing mumus to work!! No pants will fit!! I was a good girl on Monday and Tuesday and brought my lunch, but today I didn't and was informed that it was 25 cent hotdog day at Wienerschnitzel, so that's where we went. Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!
Sorry didn't mean to carry on, but well, once I started... kinda like how I've been eating lately. Uncontrolled and steam rolling ahead!! I, too, have the problem of once I take a little nibble of something yummy, you might as well give it all to me. NOW.
So...now what???

I seriously had a carb attack this week and I cannot get it under control for the moment. But Amy I'm glad you mentioned what a toll it takes on your body. I was wondering if that's what was dragging me down. I have been so tired all week. To the point I have fallen asleep at my desk several times and as soon as I get home that's all I want to do! SLEEP!!! Only waking to EAT! AAAAHHHH! I have gained 4 lbs this week and after all the hard work I've done. I'm so disappointed in myself.
I talked to my b/f last night about my problemo as if he hadn't noticed...which he said he did notice. But he really doesn't understand how awful I feel. It is an addiction...but how do we control it? I am so weak when it comes down to it. I tell myself.."Self if you want it bad enough, you would do it!"
So why can't I do it???
Ladies, I hope you all get the control back. Good luck bringing those #s back down!!

At least, despite having waitressed for 7 hours today, still managed to get to the gym and do a quick 10 minutes on the elliptical and run a mile on the treadmill. Plus a healthy dinner of BBQ chicken and at least 3 cups of vegetables. And a litre of water.
Yesterday, I had a planned cheat with a Swiss powdered sugar waffle with ice cream, but I had a dinner of a Greek salad and chicken souvlaki.
So...to summarize: jump RIGHT BACK on the wagon with healthy meals. Planned "cheats" are offset with plenty of exercise and followed by on plan meals.
But you gotta admit an A$$ Head Shark IS a funny thought!
And yer purty, too!
