Are buckets really holy? Just wondering. . .
Ok, enough about that, I've got something awful to tell you.
Your pleasantly plump - wait, scratch that - your favorite fat blogger has some bad news.
(You're going to have to click on the link to find out what it is.)
Somewhere between my last weigh-in (last month) and today, I gained 10 - count them, 10 pounds!!!!!!!!
(If this was a horror movie, and it is, this is where you hear the crowd of running, screaming people, and see the bright flashes of lightning and wind whipping through the trees.)
I don't know what happened. I was doing so well. I was losing inches, and gaining muscles.
That was before I skipped the gym and started eating out every night like I'd won the lottery. I can't remember the last time I had a salad, and I've had a soda every day this week.
My friends, your fat blogger has fallen - no, I think we'll go with belly-flopped, off the wagon.
I'm more behind now then I was when I started this whole weight-loss adventure. I'm 252 pounds!
Now, I have to lose weight equivalent to the size of two small children!
What am I going to do? Why is the world of weight loss so cruel? I was struggling to get into my fat pants today. If they don't fit, what will I wear?
A weight and a fashion crisis? Oh, the horrors!
Ok, I've got to calm down. I've got to get control. I can do this. I can work off the pounds.
I'm going to have to talk myself down for the ledge.
However, I'm still having a better day than Britney Spears, as noted in this CNN story.
Can you help a sister out? How can I get back on the weight-loss wagon?
Yes, maybe those 10 pounds are in your leg muscles from spinning. That's my take on all this. Cheer up -- we'll go to the gym and show those pounds who is boss!
Weight loss is like riding a bike ... sometimes you stop too fast and fly over the handlbars, other times you hit a bump in the sidewalk WAY too hard and then there's always the "I think I'll just walk my bike up the hill." Take a step back, BREATHE ... and start again. Tomorrow is another day, and it will be better. (Remember muscle weighs three times more than fat!)
