Hi Friends -
You know that saying “Nothing tastes as good as Skinny feels”? That’s bulls**t. Diets suck – it is as simple as that. I might have mentioned to you a few weeks ago that I have started a diet. I am bored, miserable, cranky and HUNGRY. I know – I know, I am probably on the wrong diet – whatever. I have lost 20 pounds so far, but it hasn’t been without a whole lotta pouting and a little bit of b***hing. Okay – maybe a lot of b***hing. I don’t care – I am pissed off.
Pissed off that I let myself gain this much weight in the first place. Pissed off that I haven’t been able to wear the super cute clothes that I have been pinning on Pinterest. Pissed off that I am more tired than I should be since I am carrying all this extra weight around. Pissed off that there is no quick fix. It is hard work and that pisses me off.
In honor of my 20 pound weight loss, I thought that today I would show you the meal that I would eat if I were to be a naughty cheater:

Deep Dish Pizza. Oh – and do you see that salad in the background. That is NOT on the menu.

A side of Mac and Cheese. I am literally salivating right now folks. This might not have been the best idea, but let’s keep going …

Since I am cheating, let’s start the desserts with Butterfinger Pie. Yum!

Why not stick with the candy bar theme and continue with Snicker Pie?

I will finish up with Meyer Lemon Creme Brulee. Hey – lemons are a fruit, how bad could it be?
I have given up all sugar, bread, flour, pasta … you get the drift. Any one of these indulgences would make me happy – at least temporarily. Then I would be pissed off, cuz you know what they say “Nothing tastes as good as Skinny feels”!
Hope your life is more dessert heaven than ugly green salad havoc!

LOL O no girl! Ok thanks a lot now I am hungry for junk! lol
Thanks Susie!! I am always hungry so I thought I would share the misery. Ha!
Happy 20 lbs!
Oh, and…lemon creme brulee’?? How did I not know that existed???
Miss,
Congratulations, 20lbs is amazing especially considering how busy you are!!!
I would say 20 pounds deserves a slice of that Butterfinger pie!!
Xoxo
Theres an old saying “It’s better to be pissed off than pissed on” Well it’s not one of those old “Confusous says” saying But where I come from it’s said quite often and since I’m getting older I figure it counts as wisdom ….
I too lost 20 lbs this year …. and I agree it is Not Easy but the end result is worth it … Keep at it girl and you’ll be happier as you keep getting closer to your goal … You looked Amazing at book club : )
Thanks so much Lori! Love your profound statement … it sucks but I am liking the way my clothes are not so tight so I will try to keep it up! Can’t wait to see your new shop. Might not get there for the grand opening, but you will see me after Thanksgiving for sure!
The only thing worse than dieting is catching a glimpse of my back fat in the dressing room mirror. WTH did THAT happen?! Losing 20 lbs is not easy, but you already found that out the hard way. Congrats! Now excuse me while I look for some leftover Halloween snicker bars. This food made me seriously hungry.
