Weighed Down

Let’s get real.  I need to lose 10 pounds.  Ok.  15.  Fine.  20.  I have been trying to get to my target weight for 9 months now.  I’m having a terrible time losing these last pounds. The thing is, I love food.  It’s delicious and the junk in my trunk verifies my romance with all things caloric.

There’s a pattern I repeat over and over.  I become motivated, I’m really vigilant for a couple weeks, I see a few pounds sputter off and I congratulate my victory with a bowl of ice cream.  The ice cream tastes so good I wash it down with a cheeseburger.  Then I feel like I should have some veggies, so I eat celery stuffed with peanut butter and chocolate chips.  The ol’ pounds crawl back, plus a couple, and I stomp around the house like Godzilla bellowing that it’s impossible to lose weight.  It’s all very ridiculous.

Do you care about any of this?  Probably not.  But I need some motivation to quit dinking around and be able to breathe when my jeans are buttoned.  I tell you this because I am going to start tracking my weight on my blog.  I know, BORING, but I’m hoping it will help me.  If I know someone is reading, hopefully I won’t want to look like a fool and I’ll stay motivated.  Hopefully.  I really do love food.   I’ll weigh in every Monday so if you aren’t interested, don’t tune in on Mondays.  If I don’t lose weight in a week, please berate and humiliate me in the comments section.  Be sure to use words like, “fatty, fat pants,” “lardo,” and “chubster.” 

I respond well to shaming.
