If I don't lose at
least 2 lbs by next Monday, I'm going to have to change the blog name to FattyPantsSlush, or maybe LASlush (for lard you-know-what). It will be very sad to be known as such in the blogosphere, so perhaps this will be enough inducement for me to cease eating. Here's hoping, anyway.
I've gained about 8 lbs since November, and I think it's pretty safe to say that it has all been fat. Do you know how big 8 lbs of fat is, my friends? Well, me neither, so in my quest to be useful, I've scrounged up a picture of 1 lb of fat. Behold its gory glory:
Mmmm... fat. No need to thank me folks, I'm a giver. So there you go, now we can all envision what that extra lb will look like peeking over the edge of our jeans. Hooray!
Now, should I count WW Points (how I lost the 800 baby lbs + an extra 20) or count calories (how I've maintained, but I don't think I've ever lost any more)? Questions, questions. I've decided to track both for the week and then look at them. I have a feeling that I eat less with points for some reason, but I don't really have an explanation for this. I mean, technically I could eat more because there are some 0 point foods, but I don't think I consume any of those. I'm a paragon of healthfulness, I know. Is healthfulness actually a word, or did I just make that up?
Oh dear Lord, I'm so hungry.
A doctor I used to go to would sell you a plastic replica of a pound of fat to try and incentivize you to lose weight. Cause everyone's mantel needs a pound of fat on it, right?
Good luck with your decision (points vs. calories)!
Good luck with the weight loss thing, though. Michigan has this gimmick going on right now of a two-step process to lose weight and get healthier: eat less, move more. (Sigh!) So, why do I still crave paczkis?
