hungry...

why am i doing this to myself?

let me preface my post by saying i have little to no will power. its the reason i stole as a child and stayed in trouble in high school.

i am on a diet. a small diet. i have, as of thursday, 9 days until my friend's wedding. i bought a new dress and new shoes, which you will hear about in detail when i post on said wedding. but i decided to go light on my snacking until the wedding.

please believe that i have no misconceptions about my weight. i'm healthy looking and curvy. but i havent been sleeping well and i have been eating french fries "like an irish person" says my brother in law. and so i gotta do something.
plus i wanna look and feel extra cute in my dress.

monday was when i got this brilliant idea. that night i had my "last meal." a shrimp quesadilla for lunch and red baron pizza cites for dinner. yum. yesterday i had minestrone for lunch and an apple pie from mcdonalds for dinner. sad! i snuck a rice krispie treat and nibbled on pistacchios before work. today i made a smoothie from a mango i had way too long, oj, a banana, strawberries and pineapples. it was my savior when lunch came and i decided to eat some chicken gumbo that was not hittin. btw i hate soup as a rule. but if its thick i'll eat it. for dinner, leftover quesadilla from monday. still delicious!

will i make it? gee this is hard. i know that snacking is good to keep up your metabolism but i cant find anything to eat that's not starchy or fatty. suggestions?

carrots. damn i don't know joy. try foodnetwork.com i'm not good with snacks. baked lays? i snack on the same things i eat. try that. small meals are good for you too. and make sure you eat breakfast to start your metabolism. that smoothie sounds deeeeeeeelish!

I know it sounds crazy, but the Master Cleanse is really good if you want to lose some in a short period of time. I lost 8 pounds in the last 14 days :) You'll look FABULOUS!

lol thanks guys... i think i had to get over a hump. i feel better now that i'm into it.

carrots. good idea. i do love them but its so hard to find whole ones in this hotel. they shred then immediately. did buy some nutrigrain bars at walmart. yum.

i dont know about a master cleanse. it kind of falls under the same umbrella for me as taking pills for a headache. dont like to do it.

thanks madam. i'm not really out to lose weight, i just need to feel better. i've actually been sleepy when i go home. good stuff.
