I Do Love a Challenge
By Keiti | November 26, 2007
So, I’ve been thinking about the fact that I put back on every single pound I lost when I moved out to California. And I’ve been thinking about the fact that I haven’t been taking very good care of myself since the break-up (yes, I know…it was months ago, and I’m pretty much done with it, but once I get on a roll it’s hard to stop - especially since I’ve been working so many hours and barely have time to do anything except for sleep, eat, and work. I figure I have another week or two (beyond this week) before I get laid off, but I’m hoping they’ll cut hours back and move everyone back to days starting next week.
Anyway, I was thinking last night about the weight thing, and I’ve decided that my goal is to lose 15 lbs by Christmas. Yes, I know the holidays aren’t the perfect time to try to lose weight, but since I tend not to partake in sugary goodness anyway, staying away from the cakes and cookies and pies isn’t going to be too hard. My true suckerness comes out when presented with mashed potatoes, stuffing, etc - anything that’s high in carbs. So, in an effort to drop the weight I put on and to prove to myself that I have something that resembles willpower (and trust me, it is a willpower issue with me) I will embark on the weight loss venture starting on 1 December and lose 15 lbs by the 24th.
I know. I’m insane. But I’m determined in my insanity. Besides, I’m hoping by putting it out into cyberspace where I have one or two readers will keep me honest and on track.
I’ll try not to blog daily about this - I’m sure no one wants to read about it every day - but I will update at least once a week.
So, here’s to fitting in my clothes, again. And feeling better.

Good luck, Chica! Me, I’m taking a vacation from willpower. I loves me some cookies and Tis the Season. But I will be glad to be a cheerleader for one with far greater willpower.

Thanks, A.
I don’t know how much willpower I have at the moment; I’ve already cheated twice in two days.
And rationalizing it all the way.
I generally don’t have a problem staying away from desert-type stuff. It’s the popcorn and chips and bread stuff that’s my downfall.
I’m back on the horse today.
