Fat Pants Follow Up

Never, ever, ever, ever,  ever again will I purchase nor consume anything that says “weight watchers” or “smart ones” I ate something this morning that vaguely looked and sort of maybe tasted like egg on some whole wheat English muffin type substance (which coming out of the microwave tasted like a piece of bread dunked in water) ugh. I promise I am not becoming one of those people who is just going to talk about what they eat and obsess about being fat or skinny. Look, I am just looking for better options to eating well at this point, ok. So just deal with it. Its one post and I need to vent. Last night, after two glasses of wine and profusely refusing to eat the pizza repeatedly offered to me, I totally caved. Yes, I see your pizza and I raise you one piece of cold fried chicken, which I ate standing in my living room watching the news and yelling and scoffing at the news anchors. This made my dog profusely happy as he sat ankle side eagerly waiting for a fried crumb to fall, which of course, this being fried chicken and all and being that I am a self-proclaimed “fat person in a skinny body” I did not allow a singular speck to fall. I really do think more like a fat person. I actually sent someone on a digital scavenger hunt of my favorite restaurants while critiquing my favorite meals. I have dreamt about cake before. I have gotten up in the morning and then eaten cake for breakfast the next day, ok this was the day after my birthday so I am giving myself a pass here. You know how often the male brain thinks about sex, well that’s about how often my brain is focused on food. But no more “diet food”. Yesterday I ate something that resembled pasta in a really nasty sauce, again coming from the microwave; it actually looked like it should have had hair and teeth. It just looked like a cartoon on a plate. Nothing in it seemed natural. But today, I turn over a new leaf (well by lunch time anyway), I got up early and took TWO long walks, did my planks, my push up’s, and my Yoga and felt fantastic! Oh, what’s on the menu for lunch you ask? I think I am going to make a whole wheat pita pocket with a light smear of fresh avocado, low sodium turkey breast, red onion, spinach and cucumber. Sounds pretty good right? Well, after the weight watchers disaster this morning pretty much anything sounds good. I think I am well on my way to bikini fabulous!
