Friends..

So I'm going to kind of rant a little bit, you don't have to read this but I need to get it out. This morning as I was making my new found favorite yogurt [non fat plain greek yogurt sprinkled with some non fat sugar free instant pudding mix] my friend called me. She's a great friend, honestly my only friend that I really see, I have some friends but I dont know if I would really attribute them to "friend" status as much as glorified aquantinces, but any way, she called me and she was upset [not something new]. She asked me if I wanted to meet up and go with her to a local walmart. I of course said yes. This particular friend has struggled with issues her whole life. From obesity, over eating, to alcohol and drugs. She just now is getting a hang of how to live her life without over indulging in opressive substances, be it food, pills, or booz. But now its another issue

She was rambling on and on and I'm listening my best and she said something to the tune of "and im so trying to be thin-spo..." I had no idea what that meant. "Thinspiration" oh Christ, here we go.

Now as I'm dealing with my own dieting I have to hear about thinspiration?! what is this world coming to? She starts telling me about how they have websites with pictures of nothing but a plate with a fork knife and a cigarette? really now? By this point I was craving some Reese's  i know she needed to talk about how she was feeling, and I would never tell her to stop. But all that thin-spo talk was wearing me down. I normally have the patience of a saint. But today, I almost lost it on her.

Okay that rant is over. I am thinking of looking up this thin-spo stuff, see what kind of garbage she is filling her head with now.

Lunch - Just took my lunch out of the over, I took two slices of thin thin chicken breast (i hate thick chicken breast) grilled up two pieces of turkey bacon, took about two tbsp of fat free cream cheese mixed it with some garlic, salt, pepper, and poultry seasoning, slathered it on the chicken breast and topped it with the diced turkey bacon. It's actually dynamite. I wonder if I could fake this as a dinner and make my boyfriend eat it.

On the boyfriend note. Gosh I love him. He's trying to loose weight too. He's been eating healthier than before. He's lost about 20 pounds over the past few months but he's been slacking latley. Yesterday when I came clean about the dukan diet to him, he said he wanted to buckle down and stop eating junk again (he has this affinity for sour chewy candy, he can eat bags at a time) I suggested that he try to do the dukan diet with me, but he said he couldn't live on it and he also said he can't cook. He makes a point there. He lives with his father and he loves his starches. Potatoes with every meal. Boy I miss potatoes....maybe when I loose enough weight that it is noticeable he will change his mind.

Until next time

Just for today

  1. That "thinsparation" side of the internet is scary. For me "thinspiration" is someone like Adele, a fat girl that isnt too big and pulls it off and is beautiful, know what I mean?

    That's cool your boyfriend is into it and you told him! So at least when you eat together he'll be supportive and try to emulate what you're doing.

    Congratulations with sticking to it this long!
