Has anyone else noticed that DIE is almost the whole word Diet?

So this last month a friend of mine pointed out that we
always eat out... and than suggested we stop doing it.
Fine by me I thought, I really don't have the money
to do it anyway might as well keep the money and use

it for it doing something else.


But what she suggested
next threw me for a loop....
How bout we Diet?




AAAAGGGHHHHH! Ummmm Heck No...
This is what was running in a Panic
around my mind shouting at me PLEASE PLEASE
PLEASE TELL HER NO!!
Did i listen to myself? Of course not... and now i am
wondering if maybe the spirit was trying to guide
me at that point, because people i have to say
I am a MEAN DIETER!!!



nobody touch my food and nobody gets hurt!!






















I have had my weak moments,
At lunch time the McDonald's across the street
(LITERALLY ACROSS THE STREET...)
taunts me.... DA DA DAT DA DA... I am not loving it!!!




























And when i fill up my car at the Maverick
those cheesy hot dogs are calling me ...
Don't judge me they may sound gross but it brings
me back to my childhood memories of those cheesy
bit hot dogs... does anybody else remember those?











Worst of all is when i come home and my grandmothers
food closet just sits there and laughs at me.


Hey Mandirae you know we got what you need
cheese its and wheat thins with auntie Fara's cheese ball,
you want some oreo's or double dipped mint thins,
hot tamales are fat free don't ya know,
Baby Ruth's, Sugar Slices, and Good and Plenty's,
Brownie Mixes, Cake Mixes, Cheese cake too...
Swedish fish and Rice Crispy Treats...
I mean Dang Gina can you really not gain weight
living here?




But i resist, I am doing good...
I even have been on the tread mill.
I am working my way up from a slow crawl...
I was on the slowest speed huffing and puffing,
to a faster crawl...
and well I haven't cussed my friend out in my head in the
last two or three days...


Of course I blame this on my lack of energy due to the
no food thing and the lack of oxygen due to the huffing and puffing...
But i do have one question...

to all of you dieters...


Has anyone else ever prayed that their carrots
will taste like oreo's?


I guess when i am smoking hot i will be more grateful
until than i ll keep praying i make it through,
that and of course that my vegi's taste more like chocolate!!

Finally you update your blog!! Wow, good job on the dieting, it's not fun, but you seem to be having good discipline!! I always try to have alot of healthy snack around the house, so that when I do have a craving, I eat the healthy thing, not as fun, and sometimes I do want to cuss people out!!yOU CAN TOTALLY DO IT, STICK WITH IT!! gIRLY!!
