I wish life were easier, but it's just not. If I wear my retainer I won't have a migraine, if I don't wear it, I get a migraine. If I wear my retainer I look like a nerd. So many problems! I just wanted straight teeth! Oh and white teeth. The damn tooth whitening kits hurt so bad on my teeth though.
Lately chocolate really hurts my teeth too. Maybe I'm drinking too much sprite.
I was hooked on Caribou coffee for a few months recently. I finally had to admit my life had become unmanageable and my jeans were no longer fitting. I thought coffee cake was an acceptable form of breakfast, but I think that it's about 500 calories by itself and the coffee I was getting was over 600 calories which means if I eat even one decent meal after that that I will inevitably get muffin top.
Why is it that men can drop weight so easily, but women can't? It baffles me. They just stop drinking beer and BAM, 20 pounds come off. We try that along with cutting out soda, cookies, and cake…. nothing happens. What the hell is that shit?
My ring is finally loose on my thumb. You know you've lost a couple pounds if your jewelry starts getting loose. That's when you start pondering buying more jewelry or clothes but in my mind I have to MAKE it worth it! I can't just drop two pounds and sort of fit into my jeans. I'm all or nothing. I need to see not even a bit of muffin top before I decide I'm permitted to splurge.
I then buy myself gifts, a sort of praise, like "good job Casey, good job". I hit Target, Ulta, Petco, etc. and my bags begin to fill with makeup, jeans, shirts, shoes, probably a pet fish, and maybe a new rat if I'm feeling adventurous. I justify the spending with the fact that I worked HARD to lose that weight. However it's just moreso an excuse to shop without feeling guilty. I blame my Catholic upbringing for these feelings of shame. Nothing against Catholics, it's just how I feel.
What happens when I get home with all these goodies is a different story. I set the bags on the couch and then stare at them quizzically. I know I should put things away, but then two days goes by, then three, then four, and finally I make my move after a couple weeks to put ALL of my splurges in their proper places.
The problem is that I tend to buy more within the time of cleaning up so it just adds to the pile, kind of like laundry.
My clean laundry sits in a basket until there is enough clothes on my floor to do a load. I just am unmotivated lately. Blame it on this diet and exercise stuff.
