Back on Track

There is no way to sugar coat this so I am just going to say it - this last weekend was a diet disaster. There is no excuse for the excessive amounts of pure, unadulterated lard I injected into my body. I should be shot. Repeatedly. Perhaps in the stomach so I can stop filling it with greasy food. Just so that you can have an idea of what was consumed, take a look at this sampling:
  • Enchilada
  • Burrito
  • Nachos
  • Chicken Tenders
  • Fries
  • Ice Cream
  • Fudgsicle

Does this sound like a person that is on a diet? I don't think so. I sat down to think about this turn of events last night and realized that I will be at my boyfriend's brother's wedding in less than 2 weeks. If that doesn't inspire me to lose 10 lbs on Southbeach Phase 1, I don't know what will. Recognizing that I am on a short timeline really helps me put things in perspective. Seriously. I am soooo gung ho. I refuse to be the porker in all the wedding pics. It will not happen. Last night I had a greek salad and a cup of butternut squash soup. Today I will be consuming yogurt, coffee, vegetable soup, string cheese and an assload of water. I am done dicking around.

You do amuse me, Nu Nu. I will admit that the sampling of fried/cheesy/creamy treats that you indulged in over the weekend is impressive. The Mexican menu items were most drool-worthy, and I am just guessing they were consumed at a Mexican restaurant of some sort -- maybe a Peso's, an Azteca or what have you.

So it seems you had your caloric festival that is needed to inaugurate your diet. Congratulations.

I sympathize with your need to not have to suffer through looking at pictures from this wedding with disgust. This happens to me at every event. I posit that you will also be the prettiest girl in the photos, but I know how it feels to see them after the fact and cringe. It takes a lovely memory and ruins it, and it is so unfair. You are going to do this!

Starting is the hardest part, and you have done it. I am over the moon with happiness! Though I look forward to losing weight, what I really am dreaming of is all of us succeeding.

You are a love. That is all.

I'm waiting for today's menu, just fyi.

And congratulations on your consumption of yesterday. You need to do that in order to properly inaugurate your diet, to steal a phrase from Erica.
