My name is Christy. I weigh around 350 lbs, give or take....Honestly, giving would be your best bet. I cant imagine I weigh any less. I am 40, married, mom to 3 children....ages 20, 15 and 5. I used to stay right at 260 or so and did for YEARS until I got laid off.(THANKS NAFTA)....over the last 8 years or so, I gained close to 100 lbs. That isnt but 10-14 lbs a year, but darn if it doesnt add up....and FAST.
A week or so ago I was mesmerized by the shows "Half Ton Mom", "Half Ton Dad", and "Half Ton Teen". I kept thinking, over and over, that THAT COULD BE ME. EASILY. I mean really, now. If I broke my leg and was no longer able to get up and about, Im sure I would gain weight...and in a hurry, too.
I am considering weight loss surgery, but since I cant seem to remember it long enough to check my insurance website and find a doctor to get the ball rolling, I guess Im considering being fat forever even more.
I heard a doctor on Half Ton Teen say that these hugely obese people always come in and say the same thing "I dont eat that much". Well, they eat SOMETHING or they wouldnt be fat. I dont consider myself eating "that much", especially in comparison to my husband, but apparently I am a vacuum cleaner, sucking it in......
Therefore, I am starting this blog. My plan is to post exactly what I eat. Surely to goodness, if I see what it is that I am eating, and the quantities, I will see that I have been fooling myself.
Well, that is the hope, anyway.
Today? Well, it is 2:27 pm and so far I have had a 1/2 can of Dr. Pepper(my main weakness and dont tell me Diet Dr Pepper tastes just like Regular Dr Pepper, its a dirty DIRTY LIE!) and 30 Goldfish crackers.
I am getting hungry, but I am leaving in 2 hours to go to a benefit to help pay for my sister's ex's funeral expenses. Woohoo!(ok, that is a sarcastic woohoo) Redneck food and sober Karaoke!(Yeah, you got me, sarcasm again). Seriously, I am not sorry he is dead. I am sorry his momma had to pay to put him away and I do not mind giving $10 or so to help out. She is a good woman. I aim to pay(ie: donate) and then my sister and I will be going somewhere else to "eat". Call me a food snob, but cold Domino's pizza doesnt make me happy.
Ok, 5 Girl Scout Do-Si-Dos and a cup of milk, and I am good to go till tonight.
Guess I will post more when I get home tonight. Im sure I will have had something to eat by then.
