I sit here on the couch, stomach full of pasta and veggies and I feel like such a fraud. I was just in the paper over the weekend for my stunning weight loss that I have acheived...then promptly went on an Easter eating spree and gained 10lbs and 2 weeks. Yep you read right 10 WHOLE POUNDS! That is almost 30lbs since Christmas.
I could and would normally sit here and make excuses as to what made me gain all that weight or, that it wasn't what I ate it was stress/lady probs/muscle gain, but I won't. I know exactly where all that weight came from, I ate it! I ate like I was never gonna get another ounce of food in this body. I am not upset about the gain, I am more upset at my ambivelance toward gaining the weight. I don't feel anything about it but disappointment that I don't care. Why don't I care? Why am I not out running 3 miles a day and sticking to the diet? It is an easy diet and I feel 100% better when I eat to program, and I love it when people tell me how great I look..yet the taste of junk food somehow in my head over rules all the good and I stick the junk in my mouth and swallow. Ugh, I promised all of FB land and myself that on my 31st b-day all the crap eating stoppe and I was gonna get serious, see how I break my promises to myself? I suck.
It has been a crazy time in my life, everything is changing, everyone is changing. I guess if there was an excuse for my eating it would be that yes it might be stress or it just might be a way of grounding myself to the familiar. Eating junk is familiar to me, I have eaten junk and have been fat for let's say 25 years, it is comfotable and "normal" to me. I mean it isn't "normal" but I have always been the "fat girl" I didn't want to be, but not enough to not put those chips in my mush, and not enough to stop myself from shoveling the last 1/2 gallon of cookies and cream into my gob. So that is my excuse I am longing for something familiar that doesn't talk back, but food should not be my soft landing, and I am going to try and find something else, because if I keep turning to food to fill my emotional voids I will quite literally die from it.
In a less morbid thought, we are moving really closely to moving out of this house, and I tell you it can't come soon enough. I do worry that a "normal" married life which includes living on our own is a long way off, and there is a so much pressure for us to get job ASAP. I know in the long run we will be ok, but damn is it scary to start over again.
Well it is off to bed, or the kitchen...
