As of today, that is what I feel like. Before I continue, let me say that I KNOW that losing weight takes time, and I KNOW that it took me 28 years to get this way, and it's not going to magically disappear in 28 minutes, but that DOESN'T mean that I don't want it to happen quickly! As I was telling people today, I am a total instant gratification kind of girl. If I am hungry all the time from cutting down to 1500 calories, and busting my butt at the gym, then I better see results. Fast. It is REALLY hard for me to continue on a path where I am not seeing any results. Come on. Admit it. You want to see quick results too. I'm not the only insane one. Hello?
Anyway, back to my title. Today I went out to purchase a t-shirt to wear to school on Friday along with my BL team at school. I always struggle between the M and L sizes when it comes to projects like this. M are usually too tight because, well, let's face it, I'm "chesty". The L are usually a little baggy and make me feel bigger than I really am. It was suggested by one of the other BL members that she was going to get the smaller size because as she loses weight she will be able to see a difference in the clothes. Perfect! I thought this was a BRILLIANT idea! So I chose the M. Without trying it on. Do you see where this is going? Yeah..... continue.... After getting home, I began to look at this Barbie sized outfit and decided to try it on. What. Was. I. THINKING?! I can barely breathe in this shirt! Who was I kidding trying to buy ANYTHING labeled with an "M" (other than M&M's of course... but that is NOT going to help my case). So now, when I walk into school on Friday, sporting my shirt, I will be able to show to the world exactly what 5lbs of s*** shoved into a 10lb bag looks like. Ugh. I'm feeling the flu coming on. I may just have to be sick on Friday.
Meanwhile, I'm watching "I Used to Be Fat" on MTV. The guy just lost 14lbs in his first week. His trainer reminded him that the first week is the easiest. I'm on week 3. Crap. I'm screwed.
Oh, and by the way, someone needs to tell this guy the word is DROWNING not DROWNDING. just sayin'.....
17 days down...163 to go!
Oh, and PS- I have ape arms today. Picture it (Sicily. Wait no.) Picture it- an ape. Picture their arms dangling in front of them, not bent, not straight. Yup. That's me today from the weights we did last night. Ape arms. Unable to straighten them without pain. oooh oooh aaah aaah. Time for a banana.
You are NOT screwed! You will hit a week that it will drop like crazy. You can do it!!!
