Oy…

I forgot how badly Square One sucks. I ate a normal amount of points today (28) and had that irratating “diet” feeling all damn day. Growling stomach, a bit of lightheaded bullshit, and a lot of bitching. Considering my body has taken in roughly 2500-3000 calories daily for the last week, I suppose it’s normal for it to freak out when I go back to sane quantities.

I missed the Jenny and Benny interview tonight because of hip hop class. Did he really say “titty dress” on national T.V.? LOL

I have jury duty tomorrow. Maybe if I give them the crazy eye or yell out “Kill the Bitch!”, I’ll be dismissed early and have a wonderful Friday afternoon to go play.

I must get a swimsuit tomorrow. I need to get my ass in the pool asap. Why is it so hard to find a plus size athletic swimsuit? I don’t need a fucking skirt, built-in shelves, or “figure flattering” panels. Note to the sweatshops: Stop the Madness.

My coworkers are asking me to organize another WW At Work campaign. I really don’t feel like bothering with it. I was so disappointed that we couldn’t get 20 people (in an office of 250) to sign up last year. I hate to say it, but my office is full of people that can admit they want to lose weight, but have no desire to change eating habits. All travel agencies deal with large amounts of vendor visits, but my company has reached Fat Farm status. We had 3 vendors come in on Tuesday. What did they bring? The LaQuinta reps brought in waffle irons and made huge waffles. Omni came in next with 15 dozen Krispy Kremes. Not to be outdone, Hyatt dropped off mini pecan pies and petit fours. You see what obstacles I have to smash 40 hours per week? My willpower was extremely low on Tuesday (near the end of Junk Fest ’03), I avoided the breakroom completely.

My friends and I are leaning towards a Mardi Gras cruise that departs from New Orleans. LOL Leave it to me to find an option that combines our traditional annual debauchery fest with a drunken ship trip. I’ll post the final decision asap. Thanks to everyone that sent recommendations and/or links!

Hey, I think you should get a bravo sticker for avoiding the breakroom. Kudos to you! I get lightheaded at least once a day even when I’ve been on plan for a while. I guess it could be my low points range?–

I have been dealing with diet ‘feelings’ all week because I have gotten off of the crap snack train and gone into fruitville.

Thye have plus size speedos at the following site http://shop.store.yahoo.com/uniquelymeboutique/swimplussiz.html

eee gads. you have way more will power than I do. I’ve put on sooo much weight since working with all the cookies and sweets that we have up here. Ok this is just me being me. but maybe go check out some materinity suits. They are simple, no muss no fuss but very athletically made so that they keep the preggo woman comfy. They just might work for you. Just a thought. Courtney 😀

— My willpower was extremely low on Tuesday (near the end of Junk Fest ’03), I avoided the breakroom completely — if avoiding the breakroom is low willpower what’s full strength willpower? 😉 it stinks that the people admit they want to lose but don’t want to make a change in their habits.

Dear god you are stronger than me. Food at work is one of my weak points.
