If even ONE reader of mine does not also read Rachel Lucas,
you MUST pop over and see this post. It is superbly appropriate for the interminable waiting we all are feeling as we hunker down in our bunkers, ammo dry, waiting...waiting...waiting...not JUST for tomorrow, but for the results tomorrow night. Perhaps it is particularly pertinent to me as I am dieting away a pesky five pounds right now, which is one of those numbers that translates more often than not into "who gives a sh*t?" resulting in never getting through it entirely. Normally, just a couple of pounds off and I'm ON THAT PLATE!
HAHAHAHA!
But not this time.
This time it's for the win.
President Romney AND a size four. Then I'm gonna be like Dragon Baby,
baaaaby!
That duck is next....
My will power is non-existant right now. I had lost 20 pounds and kept it off for most of a year, and then they put me on a course of prednisone. I'm only ever taking that stuff again if the other option is death. I put 10 pounds on in 10 days, and I can't stop thinking about chocolate. So I've decided that until things quiet down around here, the election is over and I've been able to process whatever the result is, and they've maybe come up with a diagnosis for my daughter's foot problem (ortho is clueless so they're sending us up to Hartford to a pediatric pain specialist; in the meantime I'm taking her to a podiatrist for a second opinion. Ortho is saying RSD, I'm thinking the symptoms are much more like compartment syndrome. Neither is good), and we've got the check from GEICO and the new old car is in the driveway, THEN I will try to cut back on the sweets. I figure I'm cranky enough already, my family doesn't need to see me trying to fight cravings at the same time.
ReplyDeleteIf I was that dog, there would be blood on the floor by now.

DeleteHAHAHAHA!
As for your struggle with the steroids. Frankly, it's a losing battle. You've got to just let'er go until you're off them and then you can get rid of the weight. But as long as you're on those nasty awful drugs, you're doomed, I'm afraid.
Eat chocolate. There are worst things.
I've been off the prednisone for over a month, and I'm starting to see a waning of the cravings this last week or so. But the stress of the election and Sandy, and family health issues is making up for it. But hey, I may be 50 pounds overweight, but my blood pressure, blood glucose, and cholesterol readings are fantastic! (I put it down to lots of bacon and no bread.)
DeleteHAHAHAHA Dragon Baby! That video freaked me out but in the good way.
ReplyDeleteDon't fight the chocolate urges, ladies. I don't love chocolate myself - my weakness is salty stuff and things like sausage - and I say we all indulge right now. God knows we need the comfort until these results are in.
We are going to kick some ASSSS! today. Yessiree Bob!
DeleteI'm with you. I don't really ever crave sweets, but I could eat an entire bag of potato chips or popcorn. And when things are really bad, like today, it could be Flaming Hot Crunchy Cheetohs.
This administration is MY ENEMY!
