…when I got married 25 years ago. And not in a good way. So, on Saturday, a friend and I joined Weight Watchers.
Of course, yesterday was Yes,Dear’s birthday, so my best intentions were put to the test immediately.
I flunked. In fact, I should probably just take myself down to the principal’s office and give myself a tongue lashing and a detention.
For his birthday dinner Yes,Dear wanted Outback’s Curbside Take Away so as to enjoy a steak dinner without having to interrupt the end of the Eagles game or the start of the Phillies game. God forbid.
Ordering was tricky. I waged an internal battle that left me bruised and battered (batter…mmmmm) and ended up ordering a Queensland salad which I felt pretty good about until I heard that Hungry Little Devil in me ask for steak instead of chicken on my salad. God, it was good bad good BAD! YUMMY! Bad girl.
And then I ate a piece of cake. *hangs head*
But so far today I’ve been Very Good. (Give me CHOCOLATE! I need CHOCOLATE! I’m in HELL! SEND CHOCOLATE!)
I’m going to get through this if it kills me.
Before I lose whatever shred of sanity that may remain…
Let me out, let me out, let me OUT – I need CHOCOLATE!
Go back to the hell you came from and start burning those calories, you pesky devil!
…I want to ask friends and family for their support. Because I Am Going To Need It. Big time. Kindly discourage me from misbehaving even when I look like this:
And soon I will be as sleek and fit as Sebastian. Not as pretty as he is, but still way smarter.
And I’ll look better in jeans.
My vanity will not allow me to post a “before” picture until I have an “after” picture to post right next to it. But I will be posting my losses (hopefully no gains) each week in an effort to remain accountable.
Wish me luck!

Good luck!
I’m sure you’ll do fine — and you’ve got us to complain to on days you’re craving chocolate.

I say have the chocolate and buy some snazzy mom jeans. You’ll be a happy AND have elastic at your waist. Don’t listen to me. I’m the girl that refuses to be weighed at the doctor’s office. They have a special file on me and it says “refused weigh in” each time I go. Looks like it’s time for Jen to put down the chocolate and put away the mom jeans.

Thanks for the kind words at my place today.
Sigh. That’s all.
