Chocolate! My Kingdom for Some Chocolate

Seriously not me. I've never looked that good in a bikini. Evah. *sob*

OK party peeps, no more screwin' around. Today began the official Diet of the B Household. Both my husband and I have started Nutrisystem, you know, "Low Glycemic Index Carbs" and all that happy horse shit. It works, though, I have to tell you. My husband was on it last year during my pregnancy, and he lost like 25 pounds or something. I should be so lucky. Whatever. Besides the point. Back to me and my pitiful self-image. I weigh less than I did when Monster was born, but I still have these 15 pounds hanging around that I've been sitting on for the past year, and I'm tired of it. I'm taking back my ass, dammit. And hopefully my thighs while I'm at it. Yeesh.


I'm not telling you how much I weigh. Sorry. While I will write about most anything under the sun, I do have limits, and there they are. I'm 5' 9", and my BMI is right smack in the middle of where it should be. But we don't need studies to know women care more about their appearance than men, now do we?


So, here we are, on this damn diet. It's Day 1, and I'm starving. Not really, but you expect me to say something like that, right? I'm actually not hungry. But I miss food. Already. The diet works by rationing out the proper portions of food, so you can't overeat. This sucks. I miss eating. I should be sitting here right now getting pretzel crumbs all over my laptop, but instead I'm swallowing excessively and trying not to drool on the keyboard. Sigh. Only 15 pounds to go! Somebody shoot me.

  1. Good luck to you. I refuse to diet, EVER! I love food way too much. And I am lucky in the fact that if I actually did work out, I would be fit and trim. But I have to walk past the kitchen to get to the elliptical, and I'm easily distracted.

  2. I'm sending extremely happy thoughts. Of chocolate. (ok, I had to, sorry.)

  3. Am sending strong happy thought. I'll guess your weight (but not write it here), since I'm the same height and BMI as you (roughly) and also not happy about the dimples in my nether regions. I have no willpower for diets, though, so I'm all about over exercising this summer. So far, my legs are looking more toned, but the scale has not budged except to go up three pounds during That Time of the month. *sigh* Count on me for all the moral support that you need. Seriously.
