Diets are Evil!

So let me just say right now, I hate diets. Of course, having been overweight my entire life, I have been on quite a few. I did Weight Watchers. I did South Beach. I tried Atkins (and hated it). I've aerobicized. I've swam with the old ladies at the gym. I've walked. I've "walked away the pounds". I've even belly danced. UGHHHH... if God wanted us all to be thin, he would have made food taste like shit. Besides which, I'm Italian. We love food. We love wine. Our entire lives are spent in the kitchen, watching someone cook, or stealing bites before dinner...

So I'm doing 1000 calories a day. Not too bad during the week, since I work 60 hours, and have no time for food. Its the weekends that suck. Sitting around... I get munchy... I want to snack. Dammit, I want Ben and Jerry! I miss those guys.... sigh.... So, its 9:30, and I am done for the day, so I am trying to figure out how much water I will need to drink to make it until tomorrow.

On the upside, I have lost 30 lbs in 7 weeks... so I guess I shouldn't bitch..... But this is my blog, so I can do whatever I damn well please!

I am going on a vacation in October, and I vow that I am not counting a single calorie the ENTIRE time that I am gone.

Going for a ride on the Bandwagon

So I guess I have now joined the masses. I don't have anything to write yet, but I'm sure that I'll rant and rave soon!
