Weight Watchers update: I give up!
That’s right, my dears, I completely give up (for now). I’m SO sick of obsessing over food – what I can eat, when I can eat, how much I can eat, how much I’ve already eaten, how much I have left to eat – enough already!!! I also miss eating things that I essentially cut out of my diet completely, like milk and cheese and regular (non-diet) soup and fruit juice and iced tea and hot chocolate and muffins and bread and portions of meat greater than 4 ounces. AND OLIVE OIL. Oh, the humanity! Lately I’ve been eating whatever the hell I want, and holy shit, it’s SO much less stressful. What a fucking relief! Granted, I’ve gained back a bunch of the weight that I had lost, but for now, I’m ok with that. It’s winter and no one can tell anyway. Whatever, dude!
Ohhhhhhh, I am so happy. Tonight I made meatloaf (with eggs! and breadcrumbs! and cream of mushroom soup!), and it was fucking GOOD. Over the weekend I made cornbread, and it was GOOD. I’ve been eating clam chowder for lunch, and it is sooooo GOOD. And I can have a hot chocolate if it’s a cold night. And I can have a banana nut muffin for breakfast. And I can drink apple juice instead of water. And god damn it, if I want a snack, I can fucking have one. Dude, Weight Watchers is awesome and it totally works and I’m still a huge fan, but really, I just need a break. And I’m taking one. Ahhhhhhhh, food really does make me happy. : )
The downside: my smaller size pants are getting really tight, I’m getting a little belly fat back, and yes, I’m getting a few more zits on my face (grrrrrr, when am I ever going to grow out of that?), but for now it’s all totally worth it. In fact, I think I want a hot chocolate RIGHT NOW. At 10:00 at night. With milk.
Super-skinny be dammed. This girl is hungry!!!
Kate Moss once said: Nothing tastes as good as skinny feels.
I think of that often to keep me honest. I remember what it felt like when all my skinny clothes were too tight. I didn’t much like it. I’d prefer to avoid the ‘all the time indulgences’ than feel that again.
but that’s just me.

I go back and forth in my desire to be skinny and my desire to eat whatever I want. Fortunately, for a veggie like me, I can eat a lot more of “whatever I want” because it is homemade soups and salads

While good food makes us happy, the danger to avoid is when it becomes a source of happiness. But it doesn’t have to be a pain-in-the-butt calorie counting game, it’s a lifestyle. And you’d be surprised what you can trade out and drastically drop the calories without sacrificing the taste (replacing hamburger buns with portabello mushrooms, mashed potatoes with steamed/mashed cauliflower, etc).
On the other hand, there isn’t anything wrong with splurging and indulging once in a while, either. But at the same time, I find that the farther I jump off the wagon with eating right the harder it is to get back on.

Honey – Oh, homemade soups are the best. I’m a big fan. In the winter, I’m cooking soup all the time!
Shannon – That last sentence couldn’t be more true. The more I realize how much I’ve been missing, the less I want to get back to my diet. Sigh. I just love sugar too much!
