Before After

Days Like Yesterday

My goodness.  Some days just come and bite your attempts at dieting in the butt.

Yesterday, I ate like there was no tomorrow.  I ate like there was a bottomless pit inside me and all the tortilla chips in the world could not satisfy my hunger.  I ate until I was full and then I ate some more.  I am surprised my belly did not pop with the strain of all the food I stuffed into it, spraying a noxious mixture of snack foods and burrito across the staff room walls.

Yes folks.  Yesterday, I suffered an attack from the Great Snack Monster.  The Great Snack Monster preys on the unsuspecting soul at numerous times - during periods of distraction or times of great emotion or even during boredom - but most often arrives riding on its beast of burden, the PMS Pony.  These two demons are going to be the bane of my existence for the next few days.  I would like them to leave, I have kindly suggested that they are Not Welcome Here and pretty soon I will have to resort to some form of violence to kick them to the curb.

The "Welcome" mat is gone.  The canapes have been consumed.  The well has run dry.  It is time for the party to pack up and go.

Comments to this post:

hey jenny!

I agree, I know those days well too.  Ah, such is life, it seems.  At least the welcome mat has been retracted and such.  :)

LMAO

Oh how I can relate!

Have you tried magnesium supplements?

I know those days well!

Oh... I know those days well. Hope you can kick the SnackMonster in the butt today.

As for blogs, I like:

Ali and Sundry: http://www.sundrymourning.com/ (I think you'll really like her. She's witty, honest, funny and a little snarky.)

Pasta Queen: http://www.pastaqueen.com/halfofme/

Cupcakes Take the Cake (I know! don't judge!): http://cupcakestakethecake.blogspot.com/

I've also started checking out Fat Bridesmaid (http://afatbridesmaid.blogspot.com/), Storked (http://www.glamour.com/sex-love-life/blogs/storked/) and Greek Tragedy (http://stephanieklein.blogs.com/), written by the woman who published "Moose" a memoir of her experiences at fat camp. I haven't decided if I love these, but I like 'em enough to read them at work.
