Back on the Wagon. Again.

Well, I've gained a full TWENTY pounds since I hit my goal weight at Weight Watchers back in 2006, and I've recently found myself back on the WW bandwagon.

I hate this stupid vegetable-filled wagon.

Is there anyone who really LIKES to eat healthy foods? Speak up. I need to know who you are so I can hang out with you more often. Because when I look at a bowl of salad, all I see is a bowl full of suffering. And stupid vegetables.

My doctor agreed with me that I am overweight and could stand to lose 15 or 20 pounds. She told me to get rid of things with white flour and things with sugar and just CARBS in general. Not an out-and-out Atkins plan, mind you...just a SEVERE cutback, if you will.

My doctor is an encouraging, bright-eyed 105-pound woman who assures me that I CAN DO THIS. I think she only said that because was scared I'd sit on her if she was in any way discouraging. (She told me to cut back on the beer and dessert and it didn't go over well.)

So, I've started. I'm three days in. And today I'd like to cut my arm off, swaddle it in a giant hot dog bun and eat it for dinner.

I can only type with one finger, because the other has cookie dough on it, but I am SO with you!!! We can do it...not only will I have results like Jennifer Hudson, but when I hit goal, I'll be able to sing too! Love you Boom!!!

WORD.

I decided this year I was going to eat "5-a-day" and no sweets (except 1 day/week). I've been surprised how easy it was to give up sweets this time, because it drove me INSANE in the past. But on the other hand I don't deny myself anything else -- white flour, lots of salad dressing, cheese, french fries, whatever.

Also, I think I have lost maybe 2 pounds in three weeks, so maybe you shouldn't listen to me.

Please don't hate me....I love fruits and vegetables and dare I say I eat salad five days a week and love it!

I'm all for healthy eating and most days do get 6 servings of F&V...however, any benefit of these foods is completely negated by the mass quantities of cheese and pasta I consume.

So, I will encourage you on your F&V quest if you'll motivate me through carb cutback!
