in Introduce Yourself
Anyone else starting a new diet or fitness plan but still dreaming about Reese's Peanut Butter Cup cereal? I mean, geez. I've never even eaten that crap in my entire life, but my subconscious fatty is trying to lure me back in! I've started calorie counting with some zeal, I chase around my toddler, exercise when I have time, try to make the best decisions but sometimes settle for mediocre ones, eat at odd hours, sometimes eat my exercise calories back and sometimes not, and gasp! Sometimes just don't get to eat much at all.

For anyone out there who isn't perfect but would still like support and encouragement, I need some more friends to add to my profile to help me along in my journey. So in a world where Fatties Anonymous support groups get together, introduce themselves with "Hi, my name is Sara, and I'm addicted to carbs!" and you all reply, "Hi, Sara!" and then I ramble for a bit, sit down awkwardly, and drink stale coffee minus the sugar... we can make things happen!

    I will totally be your friend if you'd like. I am trying to lose the weight, but I'm doing so at a pratical matter. Today my exersize will consit of walking the dog aroudn the block twice (and it's a small block) at a leisurely pace. I will track what I eat and think before I eat, but not every day will be perfect.

    *whispers* still haven't found it in me to throw out the last of the peanut butter m&ms.

    even if i've managed not to eat them so far, it's comforting to just look at them sometimes.

    Oh man. I went through my cabinets and rid myself of all the carb-heavy and processed foods on the shelves. It looked like I had been robbed. Oh well, my father-in-law and local food pantry benefited from my crazy food raid.

    I did, however, keep a six pack of import beer that I can't find ANYWHERE in the South. Don't tell anyone.

    OMG - we must be sisters! My mom has NO sense of humor whatsoever, and only laughs at me because she thinks she should. I'm sure she's wishing that she hadn't said yes to my dad that night....

    Reese's rock my socks. Peanut butter rocks my socks. Unfortunately, they do not rock my pants... *le sigh*

    Psssst! I still have some Easter candy... It's an emergency stash and it's turned into a weird test of my willpower to see it and choose not to eat it.

    OP, loved your post. Feel free to add me - I'm looking for more funny ladies on here.
