The past couple of days have been a disaster. Those stupid Oreo Thins weaseled their way into my mouth and quickly migrated to my thighs and ass, getting lost in the never-ending sea of dimples. Why are dimples cute on the face cheeks but not on the butt cheeks? Quite the philosophical question, I know.
Today tells a less terrible tale, however. I managed to eat my greens and low-fat, preservative- and sodium-laden microwave meals to keep me within my Weight Watchers SmartPoints allowance. Have I mentioned that I'm using Weight Watchers? Well, I am, and let me say that the SmartPoints system SUCKS! But, alas, I continue to try to stick with it. When Weight Watchers switched from PointsPlus to SmartPoints, they took away all that was good in the world. I used to be able to spend my points on junk, but now they want to act like my mommy and make me eat healthy garbage. The nerve!
I was thinking today that I never really worried too much about my weight until after my son was born. Sure, I've never been a stick figure, but I can't remember struggling before the way I do now. Post pregnancy, my body hasn't been able to keep my weight at a reasonable level and I've been forced to be conscious of EVERYTHING I put in my mouth (wink, wink...I'm sorry; that was inappropriate). Gone are the days when chocolate could be somewhat binged upon! I actually had to binge on (gasp!) broccoli this evening. I mean, I like broccoli, but it just doesn't seem to make my tastebuds dance the way Oreo Thins can. Who'd have known?
Okay, so I suppose I can say that June 12th was a success. Can we possibly practice some self-discipline and make it two days in a row?! That remains to be seen, but either way, you'll be hearing about it Interwebs!
