McFatty Monday

I am linking up with my new favourite blog this week for McFatty Monday! The Heir to Blair is frickin hilarious and in some weird bloggy world kind of way, I feel like we are living a very similar life.

Except she has a new baby. I have three brats.
She works. I work at home.
She is a newlywed (kinda). I have been married for almost 10 years.

But anyways...............

Like myself, Blair (not her real name of course) is on a weight loss journey. I am 5 weeks into my resolution to live a healthy lifestyle and show no signs of stopping.

I am 14 pounds down.
16 pounds to go and I will look like this.




Really.

After I get my boob job and somehow find the miracle cure for stretchmarks and cellulite.

I.Will.Almost.Look.Like.This

During the last 5 weeks I have learned alot about myself.

I have learned that I am addicted to sugar.
I have learned that I can live without it.
I have learned that I actually do have some willpower.
I have learned that alot of my eating habits were just that. Habits. I didn't need an entire chocolate bar in one sitting. I survive with just a bite.

Shocking, I know.

I have learned that I like smoothies.
Yes, the girl with severe texture issues will now drink a smoothie that sometimes has..ahem...chunks.
*gasp* And I don't gag until I barf.

I have learned that I prefer ground turkey to ground beef.
I have learned that nuts really are a yummy snack.
I have learned that I can take my children to the movie theatre and watch an entire movie without eating a snack. While my children eat chocolate and buttery popcorn.
I have learned that I can go to the mall without staying for lunch.
I have learned that I can go out for dinner and order a salad. And actually enjoy it.

I have learned that this living healthy crap isn't really crap after all.
Especially if it means I will eventually look like this. Almost.

One bite of a chocolate bar? Are you sure?

Good luck, I am watching you and trying to motivate myself!

Oh goodness, that picture is hilarious! I need to check that site out :)

I am addicted to sugar as well--it's my downfall. I can down a couple bags of chocolate in a few days. Eeek!

Good luck with the weight loss :)

You are so right that most of what we eat and how we eat and even when we eat is simply habits. It's a very healthy way to look at it! Let me know when you discover a cure for stretch marks!!!! I think it is great that you are learning new things about yourself. That's exciting!

You and I must be twins. Because underneath all this extra "skin" and pasty skin and freckles, I also look Just. Like. That.! No, really! ;)

I just laughed so hard that water came out of my nose.

& ditto on the chocolate bar. I'm finding that it gets easier & easier to just walk away & say no. I don't know how, but it is getting easier!

Why, even this morning I ran from sugar cookies! With sprinkles! PINK sprinkles! it was unheard of prior to McFatty Monday, but I credit y'all with keeping me on track!
