Fatty McFat Pants
Wow.
I have made a concious decision to lose weight. Not just "oy I need to get off my lazy ass" or "crap! Im so fat!" but a serious lifestyle-changing decision. I am the heaviest Ive ever been. My knees hurt. My hips hurt. My back hurts. I have shin splints. I get winded going up stairs or when I run around with the kids. If I keep going Im going to end up like the mom from gilbert grape. And then I will have to kill myself.
After spending a month or two trying for bariatric surgery I have come to the conclusion that, while I qualify, my health insurance provider is a giant douchebag and probably wont cover enough so that I could afford lab band surgery, and I am on my own with this.
So anyway, I signed up for this website- www.sparkpeople.com- and its like a free version of weight watchers sans points. It tells you your BMI, you can track your food and exercise, make meal plans, set goals, track how you are doing blahblahblah.
So today I was completely oblivious to the whole 'losing weight' thing and just went about my day. I ate like I would normally eat, did everything I would normally do, and now, at the end of the day, I logged all my foods and the site calculated my daily statistics.
Im embarrassed to even type this but I ate almost 4000 calories today. Three thousand eight hundred and change. WOW. We wouldnt normally eat fast food like we did today, and some of that is false because I take the meat off everything I order... but WOW. Sweet baby jesus is weeping somewhere right now. I am officially the epitome of gluttony.
So tomorrow Im going to try and keep with in my 'caloric intake goal' of 1340 - 1690 and if I feel myself getting hungry I will remember that in one day I ate more calories than a professional athlete would. (and didnt break a sweat once the entire day.)
In other news, you may be wondering about the username switch (or not depending on how observant you are.) I have found myself in the sticky situation of having at least 15 different usernames and passwords between all the websites I log into and I am on a quest to make that stop.
So from now on I am the easily stalked, entirely-to-simple-to-be-cool alias 'helloacacia' on every. website. ever.
Email address? hello.acacia@gmail.com. Website? helloacacia.com
Yes, yes, I am schuper schweet.
Wish my luck in my quest to NOT weigh a metric ton!
