Before I count my blessings, all onehundredfiftyseven of them, I hereby declare that I have a corrective action plan listy in place to avoid another upswing. And here goes:
- Do not put everyting me see in me mouf, eh?
- I will attempt to lose 5 pounds by the end of this semester (i.e. I am hoping to weigh 152 by 12/12/08)
- Think BEFORE I eat...Check in with my feelings? am I really hungry? am I bored? am I tired? am I trying to fill an imaginary hole with food?
- Congratulate myself for NOT eating something, even when I want it (I forgot where I read this but I think it's a good idea)
- DO NOT STRAY! (This is mental notey to myself. I always bring enough food for my day in my lunch box. A lunch and two small snacks. Always. And when I stray from that is when I get into trouble...food trouble)
- Plan ahead. Anticipate hiccups (free food or alcohol)
- Exercise *but don't beat myself up by eating* if I can't make it to the gym. I have several DVD's in my arsenal. I can do 20 minutes of one and get a sticker.
- Ah yes, along with #2, remember to take each day at a time. Small goals work better for me.
- Remind myself very often that no matter what I am still hotter now, at 24, than I was in high school and college.
- Food is for eating. Food is for nourishment. Food is stupid. "NOTHING TASTES AS GOOD AS BEING SKINNY FEELS."

'cause you're a baller. That's why.
a baller? shot caller?
ok
you know I have a few additional thoughts.
but bottom line is youre back on track.
gonna list the small goals for us? or nah...
very cool! i especially like #1 - i think i will have billboards made with that on them, and then put them up in my one-bedroom-apartment-sized kitchen, if for no other reason than they would probably block my access to the refrigerator and most of the cupboards where food might be hiding.
i was just thinking this morning how stupid food is, and wishing that it just didn't exist sometimes. but then i remembered tiramisu and krispy kreme and fry sauce...
I think I just noticed for the first time what you are holding over your nose in your pic. Snort.
