Candy that is. Skittles, Hershey Kisses, cinnamon hearts...
Oh, and ice cream.
And everything else I do not need to be eating.
I am trying to lose 10 lbs. Ohhhhh I know, 10 pounds! Big deal! BUT, I've been on the other side. I was a very large woman at one time. I can't and won't let myself do it again (I can't afford the new clothes I'd need!).
This laying on that damned red white and blue 30 yr old shag carpet to zip my jeans in the morning is getting old - FAST!
Yes, I was a big girl. When I was 17 my mother bought me a yellow pant suit. (Remember those polyester things?). Yellow. I hate yellow. I looked like a giant banana in that thing.
You couldn't miss me that was for sure.
And I played volleyball. Here I was, 230 lbs wearing a bright purple jersey and white shorts. When I walked onto the court, the girls hid in fear. Not of my playing abilities, but because of my size. Maybe that's how I helped to win games for the team, the other team was afraid I would sit on them if they won.
But I lost the weight. 100 lbs. Wasn't easy, and I have the utmost respect for anyone that can and does diet and succeed.
I've kept it off for a lot of years. More than I want to mention (in case that cute kid in the parking garage is reading this). But lately it seems to be harder to keep off. Especially when I hear those voices....
Go to the candy aisle....
Sandy...it's Baby Ruth IceCream. I'm in the freezer, I'm cold! Eat me and put me out of my misery!
Ok, so I ate it last night.
I didn't eat it all! I shared! But now it's gone and so is the chocolate syrup. ThankGod.
I have been trying to exercise more. Running up and down the stairs a lot. (Those are my bones creaking - not the stairs.) Working out in the yard, sweating. But, my ass is still there. (Who came up with that saying about sweating your ass off anyway?)
Ten pounds. Just ten pounds. That's all I want to lose. I am eating a lot of salad and all the good stuff for my meals.
But those voices...
It's hell when you are a certified chocoholic.
Can't someone, anyone, make candy that has no sugar, fat or calories that taste good?
arrrghhh....
Excuse me...time to go lay on that shag carpet and put my jeans on...(sigh)
