Safety Pins

Today is the first day all week that I have worn a pair of buttoned pants to work. The previous 4 days I have worn pants but instead of using the buttons I have opted for a safety pin (or 2) to secure them. Obviously this isn't the fashionable thing to do but its necessary because I refuse to buy new fat pants for work. So, as you have probably already guessed, my New Years' resolution is another DO or DIE weight loss challenge.

I know, I've told you I was going to do this multiple times before and never followed through but it's seriously to a point where people could start mistaking my fat belly for a pregnant belly and that just makes for an awkward situation.

Every time I embark on a weight loss adventure I realize why it's so much easier being fat. No counting calories, weighing portions, or keeping food diaries. Not to mention that when you're eating the right foods it's hella hard to meet 1200 calories a day. You feel like your eating all dang day and that makes you feel like you're eating to much so you stop and then your body thinks your starving it so it starts storing fat instead of getting rid of it and it all spirals out of control from there.

Soooooo my goal date is our anniversary, May 3rd. And the goal is to be skinner on our anniversary than I was at our wedding, which shouldn't be hard considering the first thing I did after getting engaged was cancel my gym membership...bad move, really bad move, one I regret every time I look at a side profile picture from the wedding.

Oh, and you owe me one BIG thank you because my original plan was to post a picture of me in a swim suit, so that on the days I signed on to post I would have to see myself looking all gross and ridiculous and know that you were seeing it as well but I figured that since I don't like looking at my body everyday in the mirror you probably wouldn't enjoy looking at it either. Your Welcome. Happy Friday!
