I will not weighing in while Aunt Flo is in town. I have just decided this. I was supposed to go this morning, but instead met my sister in law at a cake decorating shop to browse around. I got some good stuff too! I'm doing a bridal shower next month and want to try making sugar flowers so I got all the stuff to try it out. I was going to weigh in tomorrow, or Monday, and then thought, Fuck it, I don't want to get my bloated ass weighed, I think I'll wait until my water weight won't push me over the edge. I still am tracking everything. Yesterday I went over my points by a lot, pizza and wine will do that...Today, I was pretty good, I did have a piece of cake though...but it was MY birthday cake, what's a girl to do?! I'll be bringing the rest of the cake to work with me on Monday to share with my work homies, lord knows it's not safe for me in this house. I'm the kind of girl who sees cake in fridge at 6:30 in the morning an convinces myself that it's a totally reasonable breakfast. Cake and pizza, my kryptonite!
The cake was for my family party with all my in laws today. I did good with food there, my husband made me some really yummy mini veggie burgers, and I brought veggies and hummus, and that's all I ate :) Yay me! Oh, BESIDES the piece of chocolate, white chocolate mousse layer cake with vanilla butter cream frosting...OH LORD IT IS AMAZING! Must get it the hell outta here, soon!
I even bit my tongue for each passive aggressive comment my mother in law gave me. You'd think she'd give it a rest for my birthday...She thinks she can say something totally shitty to me and follow it up with a laugh, and that makes it okay. I used to get upset, now I just feel sad for someone who doesn't know how to say how she truly feels, walking around with that much resentment is not good for the spirit! She told everyone she had a dream about me and I was 'REALLY RUDE' to her in it, that it was so real she felt like I owed her an apology. I replied "Wow I can't even behave appropriately in your dreams, huh? Weird"
;)
On that note, I will be not eating for the rest of the evening, because I feel bloated from all the veggies and Aunt Flo, I will be having cocktails at a friends house tonight though, and I am more than happy to save my points for those!

Thankfuls...
Patience with people who want to poop on my parade.

My sister in law Cari, we used to not get along at all, now I am so thankful for the relationship I have with her.
The Red Carpet, I'm a total gown whore and the Oscars are on tomorrow :)
My niece Ashley got me a birthday card that says "Queen of All Aunts!" on the front...I made sure to show that to her other Aunts...HAHAHAHAHAHAAA!
April this is an amazing post. You are making some really cool real life changes. Good for you for making the choice not to weigh in. Also, awesome that you're taking your cake to work and tracking everything. I'm so inspired by you!
ReplyDeleteBeing an Aunt is the best!! Unless you are Aunt Flo. She can suck it! I don't blame you for staying away from the scale that week. It usually just produces hurtful lies! Go Gallant!!
