Thoughts of a Dieter

So many posts in so few days. I know, I know...contain yourself. I'm sitting at my desk eating grilled chicken - the same thing I've eaten for the last 2 months. For lunch. And for dinner.

For those that don't know I'm in my best friends wedding in 2 wks. That means there's a bridesmaid dress for me to fit into. My own personal hell. Standing next to people of various sizes, but ALL smaller than me, in the same dress. Kill me now.

I will say though that this wedding is especially sweet to me. Katherine is the exact opposite of me - graceful, intelligent, kind, never self serving, and just downright precious. Let me sum it up this way - one of my nieces is named after her. Make no mistake, not one niece is named after me but dear Katherine has herself a namesake. Plus, she'll be marrying Gene who I absolutely love. And who hopefully is ok with sleeping on the couch when I come to visit.

Ok, I got sidetracked...back to eating grilled chicken. Today, June 21, 2010 am now officially tired of it. I feel like I'm going to start clucking at any minute. And I miss Coke. And for those that have always dogged me thru the years about my love for Coke, let me fill you in - NO, I didn't lose weight when all I did was stop drinking it and NO, my complexion didn't get any better. 2 months of drinking 3 liters of water a day and I still get pimples. Yes, even at the age of 34.

I've lost 1/3 of what I need to be at my ideal weight. I have no idea however how I will stay on course when I get back from the wedding and no longer have the threat of a too-small-to-fit bridesmaid dress. A couple weeks ago I thought I had lost enough for now and would just coast thru til the wedding. Then I gained 6 lbs in 5 days. Apparently I'm not a coaster...I'm a gainer or a loser. You know, I just got a fantastic idea...for my next goal I'll just buy a size-too-small wedding dress and plan to fit in it since I AMMMMM getting married sometime this year. Whew...problem solved.

Now back to my chicken. cluck, cluck.
