Honestly I don't know why I bother. I might as well stop this blog, because it's obvious that I cannot stick to any sort of diet regime for any period of time.
However, I think I'll keep pressing on, in the off chance that I do miraculously start shedding the pounds.
What I need is some kind of drill sergeant like this guy,
that will kick my ass if I am caught sneaking bad foods out of the refrigerator. As this won't actually happen, what with it being hard to find mutant giant frogs in military dress , I have to find a way to do this on my own, and that my friends is so much harder.
Seriously today I consumed so many nuts it isn't funny. I probably gained 5 pounds from a combination of the high fat content and sheer volume of nut eatage. If I start sporting a top hat, monocle and twirling a cane like this guy 
I wouldn't be at all surprised. Although I'd be really worried.
I don't know what my recent obsession is with nuts, but it's crazy. I never really cared for them before and now it seems I consume several varieties a day. I think it's partly because of the salt factor, because immediately after eating them, I have a strong urge to scarf down something sweet like peanut butter cups. And then the vicious cycle repeats itself, because after the sweet I need the salty. This is why I can sometimes be found to my husbands utter astonishment, eating a dill pickle one second and a brownie the next.
A worried look always passes over his face, but I assure him that if I were indeed pregnant it's likely I wouldn't be craving foods I already love, it's the weird combinations you have to worry about. Somehow I don't think he understands.
Anyhoo, my weight has reached epic proportions, and those three pounds I mysteriously lost before, are back with reinforcements. As I watch my feet disappear, and large fleshy rolls appear along my midsection, it's clear, that I really need to get my butt in gear.
If I didn't live out in the sticks, I might consider joining a gym with a personal trainer to hound me. Seeing that there aren't any gym's around, I have the perfect excuse not to.
However this doesn't mean that I don't have to at least stop gorging on the calories. Seriously I ate mouthfuls of whip cream today. I think I've hit an all time low.
If anyone is out there... Hello... hello... hello...
Do you have any tricks of the diet trade that have worked especially well?
Keep in mind that I have almost zero willpower, so it has to be fairly simple for it to stick, however, I'm always willing to learn new tricks. Who knows I might even keep at it...
Now if you'll excuse me I have some fettuccine Alfredo to eat. What? It has broccoli.

Hey you :)
shedding those few extra pounds is never easy, and not having will power to do so just makes things that much more difficult.
I'm not a light weight myself but why not try and drink tons of water whenever you get hungry? Maybe that way it will help make you 'feel' full and not eat as much. Sounds simple enough...if it works, drop me a note at iheartyahoo.com and let me know LOL!
You did not really think i would try it myself first did ya? :D
So true.
You know I've heard the water theory before, and I have tried it. Sort of. I honestly didn't stick with it, cause it didn't seem to work. Now juice? That does help. Don't know why, but it's full of calories and sugar, so it's not the best option.
Maybe I'll give water another shot, who knows..
Thanks for the tip. :)
This might sound weird Michele, but I have a personal philosophy about food and weight. I'm a 'healthy' weight and have been ever since I realised that the more I enjoyed my food, I mean REALLY enjoyed my food without worrying about 'making up for it later' or how bad it was for me the healthier I was, both physically and psychologically. I have a suggestion. You mentioned you might give up this blog... How bout changing its focus to a food lover's blog? Then, after you've eaten and blogged about its virtues, move onto something else... I'd love to see you try it! Then if it worked for you I'd know that it's not just worked for me...
Hey Stace,
I love your food philosophy! See that's my problem, I love food too much, so it's much easier to enjoy it, than give it up. :) With that in mind I think I'm gonna take you up on the idea of changing the blogs focus. It's a great idea. Thank you!!
