Food Diary

     Sickness has taken a hold on me.  It's been about three days and I'm a bit fed up, to be quite frank.  Not to be a stick in the mud of course.  The positive side to this sickness is that I got it from my significant other.  How could I resist his sweet attempts to kiss me?  I cannot ignore his sickness, so I embraced it.  All you need is love, no?  The worst part of being under the weather is the terrible sore throat that is most commonly known as the devil.  This cold has been friendly, thank goodness. 

    Being bed-ridden has taken a toll on my ticking gears in my head.  All I've been wanting to do is get up and do something.  Anything!  I had plans to clean our bedroom out and go crazy decorating it.  I ended up getting sick halfway through so it's just sitting idly while I stare at the ceiling, sniffing my snot continuously into my nostrils.  I fortunately was able to muster enough strength to get a few more things out on the patio and put the trash out on the curb for tomorrow.  Between cleaning and being rat pack kind of people, our trash pile was three feet tall and spanned for about eight feet.  Our neighbors must think we have four families living here!

     I have been eating like a pig with a bottomless stomach.  I know it's half hunger and half stress.  If I could, I'd add another half and say it's depression or pure boredom.  I have this sick obsession with the taste of food.  I crave certain foods out of nowhere.  Most of the time it's junk!  I am a fat bitch and I'm tired of it!

     So, I called my mommy.  I gave her an idea to try with me.  I asked her to do a 'Lifestyle Change Diet'.  She of course asked me what I was talking about.  I told her I wanted to lose weight and change my lifestyle.  Exercise!  We agreed to wake up every morning at 7am and go for a fast-paced twenty-minute walk together.  She will call me or I will call her at 7am and that is where our journey will start.  She's my best friend and what is the best way for me to be motivated?  If I have my best girl by my side.  We live two hours from each other, so she will have to be by my side via phone call.  That'll do.

     I made this blog for this purpose.  To become a healthy, skinny bitch.  I will record my days, my weight, and the food I eat.  Be warned, I have a foul mouth and a temper.  I may not be happy for the weeks to come.  I am positive that this will be a good thing.  I am ready to kick this terrible habit of being a fat American.  I think I will become a European.

Food Diary
Breakfast: Two Chocolate Chip Waffles with Silk
Lunch: Split-pea Soup with Crackers and Water
Dinner: Boca Chicken Sandwich with half of leftover burrito
Dessert: A few spoonfuls of So Delicious Ice Cream

     I feel like I ate a lot today.  I had the waffles but didn't finish them all so I saved them in the refridgerator for later and ended up having soup an hour later which made me feel really full.  Had the chicken sandwich and burrito within thirty minutes of each other so it felt like I ate two meals and then I grabbed some icecream but only had a few spoonfuls before putting it away.  I need to set a time limit or something.  I need to find my hunger button.  When is it time to eat and when is it time to stop?  This country has such a skewed perception of portions that I'm not sure what's correct anymore.  I hope exercising will reduce my hunger.

     I can't wait to walk tomorrow.  Being cooped up in the house can get boring.  I should get some rest tonight.  Not used to waking up 'early'.  Wish me luck, because I'm going to be doing this every day for as long as my legs will take me.  Peace, Love & Walk!
