Lot's has changed since the last time I was here. I have a new job working for a friend of mine who is a fabulous photographer. I've decided the restaurant business is not the ideal place to try to lose weight so I've made the career change. Having been in the restaurant business for over 20 years, this was a bit difficult since I really have no other skills. So, my very good friend, who had been contemplating hiring an assistant, hired me and is now training me to do everything that pertains to the photography industry except take the pictures. It's actually pretty easy, not too taxing on the brain, just enough work and I get to hang out with a great friend all day and laugh a great deal. Pretty cool and I get paid. Luckily enough, both of us are laid back enough to not really stress each other out and we don't get on each others nerves.
That being said, we both decided we could both lose a few pounds. Or fifty. We started walking in the mornings (yesterday was the first day and today we walked all the way to the Mexican restaurant for lunch only to find it closed!!) before we start our day and I have to say it is nice to have company to walk with.
Food-wise is a different story. I want to start off by saying that for some odd reason, I have a crap-load of psychology major friends who try to psycho-analyze the reasons why I overeat. Let me just state for the record that my mother, my childhood, my family, depression and my self-esteem have nothing to do with the reasons why I am a hog. I just really like to eat. I love to eat good food and when I find good food, I want to eat as much as I can. I would rather eat a plate full of fried seafood with homemade hushpuppies or my weight in sushi because I love the way it tastes and well, quite frankly, I can.
That being said, I have a really hard time with portion control. So, my goal for this year is to try to lose 50 pounds by the end of July. I would really like to go to my 20 year high school not looking like a total fat ass. Even though just about everyone I graduated with has gained 30+ pounds so I don't feel so bad. They all need to be indoctrinated into the Fat Bitches Rule club.
So stay tuned as Christine and I try to take this diet thing seriously (but not too seriously, I mean I'm not starving myself by any means) and try to become Fat Bitches on the inside only. It may be dangerous and if you see me on a street corner with a sign that says "Will work for M&M's", be a dear and throw a few at me. (And if you see me on the news because I choked some asshole who taunted me with said M&M's, say a little prayer for me.)
