Dear Friends,

Long time no talk, and for this I sincerely apologize.  I will credit my lack of posts to a) holy hell work has been busy, b) personal matters and c) sometimes there’s just nothing to say.

That being said today is a new day and I have lots to say!! Firstly, my weight? Could I please get a ‘BOOO’ to the ‘YEAAA?’

“Why?” you ask, oh I don’t know… perhaps because, I’m down 16.3 pounds as of yesterday, bringing my grand total mass on this earth to 173.6.  (Today is day 36).  I’ll graph my progress  tonight to add some bling bling to my tumblr wall.

I assume most of you will want to say, “E, first off you’re fabulous, and second off how did you do it?!?” Thus, I posted the above photo.  It was taken from my bb about 5 seconds ago.  It’s my lunch: an orange, d.coke and salad with NO cheese, nuts or anything remotely calorie packed.  (The photo is missing my protein (which is chicken))

Simply put?  I found my body can’t defy gravity, which means if I’m not losing weight, I’m doing something wrong.  I’ll then find out what the wrong thing is (re: ice-cream, chips, burgers, fast food, white rice, etc) and I fix it.  Eating healthy? Apparently works, I know – I was skeptical too.

Anywho I am excited.  Hopefully I’ll be down 20 pounds soon, at which point we’ll have a tumblr celebratory part-ay.  Clothes optional.

Catch ya on the flip side

E

Ps Coming Soon:  Daily posts about the actual food that enters The Bod, stay tuned.

My 10 Worst Moments Being Tubby:

  1. Grade 6: A classmate hurt her leg during gym class, so the teacher sent me to get her bag from the change room.  I walked into the change room and found two girls in my grade both wearing my pants. Yes. They were both in my pants. One pair of pants, with two girls in them. I was mortified and pretended they weren’t my pants.
  2. Grade 12: At a high school party I hooked up with one of the most popular guys in the grade.  Obviously word got around about this and he denied it ever happened. He still denies it.  “I’d never hook up with a fat girl” was uttered from his mouth several times.
  3. 3rd YearUniversity: I was walking down the street to a friend’s house when two guys walked by and I heard “no way, you couldn’t pay me… she’s too fat”
  4. 2nd YearUniversity: Boy #1 (who I was deeply in heart with) I’ll date you if you lost weight”
  5. 3rd YearUniversity: Boy #2 I’ll date you if you lost weight”
  6. 4th YearUniversity: Boy #3 I’ll date you if you lost weight”
  7. Grade 11: It was the day of the school dance and I was sitting in class when this guy turned around and asked, “E, you going tonight?” I replied I wasn’t sure and then his friend turned around and said “no fat girls allowed tonight”
  8. Age 6 - 24: Being in public in a bathing suit.
  9. Grade 12: I was at Disney World in Florida with a group of friends and we decided to take a short cut through the park.  It involved going sideways through “prison” bars.  I was the only one that didn’t fit so the whole group couldn’t take the short cut.
  10. Age 1  -24: Any time a guy has ever elevator-eyed me. I freeze and die a little inside.  

There you have it.  My top moments of holy-shit-I-wish-I-hadn’t-eaten-that.

Several things to note: This list has been sitting in my ‘drafts’ for over 2 weeks as it took a while to think of things to add.  I realize way worse things have happened to other over-weight people (and people in general), so the moral of this post? being over weight sucks, but it’s not the worst thing in the world. At all.

News from the Large One:

This past weekend was uneventful which made it perfect.  I’m in such a lull these days.  All I want to do is lie in bed and watch things on my laptop.  I blame the cold.

A BIG decision was made today which I’m very excited about; I’m moving out y’all!  My friend and I are looking for a 2 bedroom condo downtown which is awesome as my 2 hour commute each day will be eliminated. 

It was/is a bitter sweet decision as yea! for moving out, but boo! for my plan to travel around the world, with summer will get postponed.  I think the deciding factor was, I absolutely refuse to be living at home with the parents when I turn 25.  Just the thought is horrific, thus? in a mere 2 months I’ll be living downtown Toronto.

I think my food situation will greatly improve once I’m not under the parent’s roof because a) there will NEVER be bad food around and b) Veronica, the girl I’m moving in with is great towards helping me lose the weight, being fit and she’s food conscious herself.

That’s all I got for now. A little piece of news for you, but a life changing thing for me. Yea!

My dinner last night: I ate a steak salad and got the server to substitute the regular dressing for a low-fat Greek-feta dressing.

It was phenomenal.

ps The banana bread? Obvy I didn’t even touch it.

I’ve got some good news and some bad news

The good news? I’ve lost some weight.  The scale gods are pretty cool folks and were good to me the last few days.  Apparently, if you eat less and move more good things happen, who knew?

The bad news? I rewarded myself for losing said weight, well not quite - it was actually a friend’s birthday so I indulged a little lot. It was one of those awkward situations when it was just the two of us (and her birthday) so she obviously wanted desert and I didn’t want to be a party-pooper. Thus? I split a desert with her.  It was delicious.  I savoured every bight as it was the last bight of omigod-too-good-to-be-true food I’ll have for a while.

I forgot my lunch today. Again. I had it all planned out, delicious asparagus, sprouts, zucchini, with lemon chicken, an orange and some jell-o.  It’s very frustrating as I’ll most likely end up buying something with more calories than I should have, AND I’ll be spending money

‘Gaining’ money is a huge (fabulous) side effect of losing weight.  I used to spend C$7.90 on lunch every day.  That’s $1,896 a year on lunch, which could be a  fabulous pair of Luboutin heels.  People, do that math - I think it’s obvious what wins. 

Skinny and wearing FABULOUS heels? Or Frumpy and broke?

I hope you didn’t lose 40% for a slice of cheese?!

katiepiemiscellany:

Old ME

NO! My goodness, the slice of cheese was hardly a factor.  The reason today was 6/10 was I didn’t hit my 8 glasses of water, eat 3 meals (I skipped breakfast), I had an extra apple (with said cheese), I ate really late (I like to eat dinner before 8, but I ate round 10 tonight). As you can see, plenty of reasons.
