Angry Fat Girl

Yo. Yo. Yo.

No, I'm not trying to be hip. This is the sound of my dieting life.

I've been up and down so many times, I feel like one of those blow up punching things we had as kids that you could punch and would come right back up again. They usually had Bozo's face on them...which is also apropos.

Long story short...if you haven't been here before... I, like a million others, struggle with my weight. (I know you are SHOCKED). Last year, I went on a very drastic low fat/low cal/low carb diet and dropped 40 lbs in 4 months. It was a beautiful, albeit, somewhat stupid thing. I went from a 12 to a 6 in the blink of an eye.

But realistic it was not because the bad habits crept back and now...a year later, I'm back in that size 12.

And I am pissed!

I hate how I look in my clothes...God forbid out of them.

I'm angry that I let it get to this point. But I suppose that getting here is the thing that will get me to jump or limp into action.

Just exactly what that action is...is indeed the question.

Low carb has worked in the past (but is often inconvenient).
WW has worked in the past (but I just cannot to the points thing again).

So, as I set out on the next leg of this journey...AGAIN, I'm setting smaller goals.

This week, I'm giving up sugar, white flour, and the worst high carb culprits. No pasta, no white bread, no potatoes.

Beyond that...I'm just going to try and eat healthy and see how it goes.

I have some new favorite blogs that I'm reading. Check them out on the right. I'm feeling especially inspired by Pasta Queen and love the Habit-a-Week Challenge over at Escape from Obesity.

Join me on the journey. And stay tuned for less of me.
