Isn’t being Netflix buddies a big commitment? We haven’t even met.

I added you on Netflix, so if you’re like who’s this strange Debby character with bong in her last name….that’s me. It’s nice to see that I’m not the only one with a crapton of movies in my queue.

I’m finding it extremely hard to curb my eating. Mine’s mostly due to this medication I’m taking for a research study. Granted, I’ve always been overweight, but I’m at the highest weight I’ve ever been in my entire life. Although I can’t give up the Mexican, there’s this awesome restaurant here in town that I frequent quite a bit. However, I did join a gym, and I actually really enjoy going so…that’s a start.

They don’t have netflix in canada, or I’d totally be your friend. They have netflix-LIKE services, but they’re not the same. And they’re pretty much a ripoff, since they’re $5 more but the Canadian dollar is still doing pretty well.

This is me, not commenting on what it would be like to only have 5 lbs to lose. Even if other people, like skinny hoars, think 5 lbs is a big deal. My cat weighs more than that. I used to weigh over 25 cats. 5 lbs is nothing.

I lost 196-lbs of unnecessary baggage about six weeks ago. However …

If it’s any consolation, first I gained 8-9 lbs this year, then I lost 6 of them … then I gained 3 back … then I lost 2 … etc. I am still 5-lbs heavier than at the beginning of the year and I CANNOT LOSE THE FUCKING WEIGHT! I have tried EVERYTHING short of working out more and/or eating less.

And don’t give me the “fuck you skinny hoar” comeback because on my frame/height that is still a noticeable weight gain.

Also, do not get me started on middle-age spread, WHAT waistline?, or lower back fat.

OMG I am WAY cranky because I am not giving in to any of my cravings… it’s like my body is trying desperately to work against me, you know??

All I know is that someone very close to me did a similar diet and promised me that my hard work will take some time, but it will completely pay off and my cravings won’t own me anymore.

I think the same thing for you! It’s a fucking nightmare right now, but the result is SO much more important than a naughty-snack-impulse.
It’s like eating an elephant. It will only get done one bite at a time. XOXOXOXO

(I totally had From Justin to Kelly on my Netflix list, and I didn’t even keep it at the bottom, I actually had them send it to me and watched it. If you really like that cheesy, crappy, campy musical shit, I have some recommendations that I’m way too embarrassed to share publicly and take no responsibility for if you don’t like them).

Eating well is like battling alcoholism. You have to take it one day at a time. I say this with absolutely no authority on either front, as I am currently at my highest weight ever with no current plans (read: willpower) to lose any of it and I am not an alcoholic. I CAN QUIT ANYTIME I WANT!!! But I did quit smoking (which accounts for at least 20 of my 50PLUS pounds). Not that that matters at all, except to say that I feel your pain and losing weight is really, really hard work and it sucks the whole way down. Well, no there’s always that one point where you get into the Zone and you’re exercising and eating well and dropping the pounds but then something completely out of your control happens and the Zone dissipates into thin air. Or maybe that’s just me… I’ll stop now. Happy Holiday!

Logic dictates that it’s easier to stop smoking (which, no matter how long you’ve done it for, you haven’t done it your whole life) than it is to stop eating (which you’ve been doing, essentially, since before you were born and must continue doing for as long as you live). Knowing this doesn’t make weight loss any easier, incidentally.

Dude, talk about the diet shit, because then maybe I will be motivated to get off my fat ass and quit eating the things like beer cheese dip and homemade chocolates people bring to the office…for breakfast.

I, too, have been participating in the “it’s not really what it is” food game. Aren’t protein drinks just like the fun stuff at Starbucks? And don’t they back your plumbing up like a mo-fo? Or is that just me? I have taken to thinking my Metamucil chaser is really an Orange Julius. It sort of works…not really.
