Does Blogging Make Me Look Fat?

It's time for me to take some action...JBB asked me if I have a baby in my tummy and I most certainly do NOT! But I am reeling from his honesty. So I have a new diet plan. It is pretty simple. I am going to stop eating so much. And drink more water.

I once made fun of a study that said the more diet soda people drink, the heavier they get. Now I think there's something to it. (Well, I am still not convinced because I think the researchers merely identified an association and did not establish a cause and effect relationship, but I digress). I am about to eat my last Oreo and then I will begin the aforementioned plan of attack on my bulging belly. I'll let you know how it goes.

I do my "small plate diet" in times like this. Eat whatever you want for any meal, just only eat what you can fit on a dessert plate. Not a saucer. I dropped 25 pounds in three months last year.

Snacks are limited to a handful of plain M&M's cause we gotta have that chocolate or a handful of cashews.

Ah. The honesty of children. So delightful. Can you feel my sarcasm? I'm struggling to lose 10 pounds. How I hate the whole weight issue. I've heard the whole soda finding as well and also think there's something to it but am unwilling to give up my Diet Coke. I don't smoke. I don't drink. I try to eat healthily and use portion control. This is my only vice, people!!! Leave me alone! OK. Sorry to vent. :)

Good luck. I think your plan sounds great.

eek - I hope the diet coke thing isn't true - I have started drinking it of a night so I don't snack / drink wine!!

Good luck with that!

E told me the other day that she loved me because I was "so squishy!" Uh. Thanks.

Diet soda is evil! Soda is evil! all that corn syrup is just fattening us up and fake sweeteners, bad for the ladies!
sorry, everyone i work with is so sick of this favorite soda rant of mine!
and if it makes you feel any better, when i was in macy's with laura the other day a woman said to me, "oh, you look alike, is that your daughter?" Grrrrrrrr....

My BLM told me that I look like I have another baby in my tummy! She was excited. I was on the boat, drinking beer and having a delightful time until she came out with that shit. I was actually feeling pretty cute until that.

So, I've been walking and doing abs every day and eating WW meals. My problem is I want popcorn or pork rhinds and a diet dr. pepper every night.

I've also decided that I will be sitting around in my bikini more often to make me make better choices.

I'm wearing it right now. It does not make me want pork rhinds and a diet dr. pepper. It makes me want to lay down in the floor and do 100 sit ups.

Holly, I am LOL at your sitting around in your bikini comment!

Lipstick - I think you look great too, and what do little kids know, right? But now is a great time for dropping weight. Such yummy summer fruits . . . makes it much easier! Good luck!

Why don't you consider joining a gym? It's a lot easier to blame things for your laziness as I always so...

AFRo...25 lbs from eating off small plates! That is awesome!! Ok, I am eating off a dessert plate from now on.

Slacker Mama...squishy, E says-that is too funny.

Mamalicious-so glad you stopped by! Very funny about the bikini. I think that's the new plan-wear a bikini at home while eating off very small plates.
