I'm kind of struggling this week. I feel like Betty White could beat me at an arm wrestling competition only using her pinky. When doing this diet, there are days that I feel this way, and that's just part of the process. If one practices this diet long enough, that "I hate the world" feeling eventually goes away. I said eventually...so that really hasn't happened for me yet. To sum it up: I'm bitter.
"Well, Abigail, if you're so bitter, you can always quit this stupid diet and doing something more sensible and possible."
-I know! This is more of a self discipline practice than anything else. I'm trying to show myself that I can be committed to something for more than a couple of weeks. I've not cheated once during the week...not even a little bit!!! I'd hate to throw all of that away now.
"Have you gotten the results that you're looking for? Is being bitter worth it?"
-Are you freakin' serious? Do I have results? Well, apparently not if you're standing there asking me questions. If I had results, you'd look at me and be all, "Wow, where did you go, Flabby Abbey?" I mean, I thought I did until you said that!!! (Hint: never ever ever ever ever ask someone if their diet is working...that's just a punch in their face and a soon to be punch in yours).
"Okay, so what's your plan? You're just going to go around hating life to lose one or two pounds? I can't wait to hang out with you; you're going to be so tolerable (eye roll)."
-Ummm, I'm still working on the long term plan, thank you. I know that I can't do this forever. There are people who do, but if I plan on not being convicted of a felony for holding up a bakery, then I need to figure out a smooth transition into a regular eating pattern.
"You know what would help? You not going all psycho on your cheat days...you could use that day to eat your fruits and whole grains."
-BLASPHEMY!
Well, it's only a few days until I give myself a final weigh in, but then I remembered that the bikini pictures were taken on the 8th of July, so I actually have until the 8th of August. I'm definitely going to wait until that day to do the pictures. I'm feeling bloated and murderous...bikini pictures are not on the top of my To Do list right now. Anyway, this was just a quick snip it of my week...blog venting, if you will. And here are some thoughts that have crossed my mind this week:
Talking to my girlfriend on the phone yesterday:
Her: "How's the diet?"
Me: "I'd slap your mother through the face for an Oreo right now."
* "Sugar free Jello would be a lot better if it was a Kit Kat."
* "It's not that I want to be thin, I just want everyone else to be really fat."
Talking to a coworker about what it's like living in Korea:
Me: "All the women here are so beautiful."
Her: "Yeah, it's hard. In America you'd be considered somewhat fit, but here you're a big girl."
Me: ...death stare....
Husband tells me to make grocery list for cheat day:
Me: "Challenge accepted!"
Yesterday, I chewed one and a half packs of gum just to taste something sweet...c'mon weekend!!
