Gettin’ Fine in 2009

Thanks to those of you who’ve left comments!  It’s always fun to find out that someone else is reading your blog, isn’t it?  Yes, I have gained back every ounce of the 25 lbs I lost earlier this year.  Sad that I have to start all over again, but at least now I know it’s possible — I CAN do it.

I’m still in full-on eating mode.  Breakfast once again was pumpkin pie — blech — it was all dried out from sitting in the fridge for 3 days, but I managed to get it down anyway.  Lunch was a Big & Tasty at McDonalds — the meal, not just the sandwich.  With a DIET Coke, of course.  And 2 apple pies for dessert, because they’re 2 for $1 so you HAVE to get both. 

Then I went to visit one of my sisters, who’s an excellent cook, and asked while I was there “do you have any good homemade stuff to eat?”  Of course, she did.  But instead of that, I chose a pile of Whoppers malted milk balls.

You’d think I’d be pretty nauseous by now, but after I left her house, I stopped at Domino’s to pick up cheese bread and cinnastix for my mother (who’s even more overweight than I, and didn’t need that) and a pizza for my husband.  Of course, while I was there I figured I might as well have a box of cinnastix myself — so I did.

Now I’m home, reading here and wondering whether I’ll explode before New Year’s.  That’s how long I currently plan to keep this up.  It’s sort of “intentional insanity”.  Like one of my sisters said today, “by the time New Years rolls around, I’ll be so sick of junk that I’ll actually welcome a crisp green or two.”  That’s right!!  I’m indulging every craving I can think of right now to get it out of my system (sort of a month-long “last supper”, I suppose — even though I know from experience that last suppers don’t really do much other than fatten you up even more before you “start”).

But that’s alright.  Like I said, I’m still getting ready.  I’ll grab the bull by the horns exactly when I’ve planned.
