Everyone knows I'm pretty realistic. I know I'm no longer that 90lb twig that once graced the top of the pyramid. In my present state, unless my teammates are 400lb linebackers, it's pretty safe to say I am now more of a 'base' girl than the 'flyer' I was in yesteryear. So, with the wedding date creeping closer each day, I've started to feel the crunch to lose weight.
When I started this whole thing, my thought was 'He proposed to a curvy girl...so a curvy bride is what he'll get.' I really didn't think I needed to lose weight. Tone & firm maybe (ok, definitely) but I wasn't going to go on a crash diet for anyone. However, that was then. Now that I've had a little more time to reflect & bought a scale to exact the weight I've gained since then, I think it would be wise to do something before the big day (no pun intended). I can't believe I've actually gained weight since I've started planning the wedding (hello stress eating!). So whereas I started this adventure not wanting to lose but tone, I am now at the point that I need to lose and tone- fast. As if the wedding isn't pressure enough- it's quickly becoming suimsuit season.
So how do you do go from fat & frustrated to slim & sexy without changing your diet or making time to work out? That's the $10,000 question. I'm dedicated to not gaining anymore, worst case scenario I guess I won't be any bigger. But instead of seriously limiting my food intake to drop calories (I get really grouchy if I don’t eat- it's bad), I’ve been trying to watch what I eat. Haha, no I'm not watching that junk food go into my mouth, I'm trying to make better choices about my eating routine. This is when being a celebrity & having a nutritionist would come in handy.
The trouble is, I love food. Eating is not an optional activity for me- I get very cranky without it. My only consolation is that God has a plan for me...and my booty. I guess it's better this way because the General wouldn't appreciate my newly skinny body walking down the aisle like this. And I would.
