When I’m carrying around that extra 5 pounds…err Okay 8 pounds, my boobs look great. I actually have boobs! Why when you drop a couple of pounds are the boobs always the first to go?
When I am eating whatever I want I have convinced myself I sleep better. Why? Cause I have had my “tensies”. You know…10ses I don’t know how to spell it, but I know what it is. That fabulous meal of snackage between dinner and breakfast. Keeps the tummy full all through the night and I sleep like a baby.
If I say “NO to Diets” then I can say “YES” to Chocolate Cake, Specialty Coffees, Pasta, Potatoes and Popcorn. These things make me happy. It’s a simple joy.
Not dieting. Not weighing myself. Saving much unneeded wear and tear on that fairly fancy new scale that mocks me from the bathroom floor. That is kind of like “conserving” right? So I am doing right by the environment.
The number 1 reason to Say “No to Diets”. This Sassy Mamma, becomes a candy craving carb deprived diva, and then it is all too easy to unleash the cranky sourpuss that dwells beneath!
Ahh, I think that is enough justification for today.
Healthy eating can wait one more week. At least until I eat all the Easter Candy that is coming our way!
Mwah!

You are so not alone! The other day I made the mistake at turning around in the bathroom mirror. I don’t recmmend it. But if you do, don’t shake! It’s bad, so very bad.

I wish I could be in your mindset right now. I’m not eating carbs, 4 weeks, this is my 5th week now – and it’s so agonizingly hard. Sometimes, it’s great, easy, especially when I see the results, but this past weekend I ate carbs to my hearts content… and today is hurting, going back to no-carbs. And I’m working out lots. I just want to lose 10-15 more pounds… and it’s sooo FREAKING HARD! ARGH! Anyway. SIGH! I wish I could eat whatever I want! For me it’s like, one extreme or the other. That is my number one problem!!!!

Diets aren’t fun and right now I’m all about the fun! It can wait another week for sure!
Sarah says
I like this post. A lot. It’s true for me, too, I’m much happier and have fewer cravings when I’m not trying to really watch what I eat. And so, for today, things have been justified!

I just noticed the thing with the boobs today. I was lying in bed and I saw that I have none. Like really…none. I have nipples. That’s it.
Frugal Vicki says
See here is my problem. I LIKE food. And really, I eat good-for-you food. Just too much. Stupid calories anyway
Caroline says
See…if I listened to you, maybe I wouldn’t have broken my scale.
Cara Smith says
Diets = Downer!
Although, I will eventually have to exercise or something.
Anita says
If I had eight extra pounds, it would be very helpful to the boobs, too, but everything else would be totally distroyed!
I love to eat,too…a little indulging is okay…I agree with you!

Oh I had to stop and read this post, I’m always looking for a reason not to diet. Thanks for giving me plenty 🙂
Lynn says
The boob thing drives me up the wall. Why can’t I be thin *and* have a chest??? I guess that’s why we see so many skeletons with fake-melon-boobs on Survivor.
Voted for you :).
Courtney K. says
LOL! These are great! Sounds like reason enough to me not to diet. 🙂 Especially the boobs thing. I never understood why they come and go first. Have a wonderful afternoon!
