It's Official...

It's March 1st and I'm going on a full fledged diet!

I tried on about 4 things in my closet earlier today and nothing fit...couldn't even zip up the zipper. I've worn the same size for almost 20 years now and I'm not buying bigger.

I'm serious!

I didn't have this much of a problem until I started blogging a year ago. My word now I've really got a blogging butt to get rid of. It also doesn't help that I'm going through menopause!

Why oh why did I buy $32 worth of these just yesterday...

Sorry new BFF (black spray paint), you are now being replaced with a tall glass of water!

Good luck, Linda. I know the feeling, I'm still trying to shed the last 12 lbs. It's coming off, slooowly!

Have a wonderful day!

Mari said...

I'm dieting too. I bought some of those cookies but I got the ones with coconut which hubby loves and I don't like, so that should work out!

dani said...

linda, i wish you luck!!! i know you can do it (but you might want to stick the boxes of girl scout cookies in the freezer for a while;).
i have been on weight watcher online since january 5th and have lost 20 lbs. it really hasn't been bad either... as there is a huge list of foods (fast/homemade) from which to choose and a calculator on the site.
good luck, again, but you look great the way you are:D
love,
dani

I saw your comment on Tales from my empty nest. I'm newish to the empty nest and also to blogging.

Just saying hello...good luck with the diet. We (hubby and I) have been watching our carbs and fat since Christmas. He's got way more willpower than me! I was just saying this morning I feel like we eat the same few foods every day. I'd love a pizza right about now but I'm resisting. No gs cookies where I live so I'm safe there : )

Happy Monday-Joyce

Nice to meet you Linda.

I couldn't agree more...blogging butt and Girl Scout cookies...bad, bad, bad. Good luck as you start your diet!

Yum....girl scout cookies!

Sweets really aren't my weakness, but I love those.

It seems like everything we do for entertainment involves food and good food. I've got to do something too. My pants are tight!

I have a treadmill and just need to get myself on it.

Good luck!

Have a great week!!

I know you can do it. But what a shame to have bought all those yummy cookies.

Donna said...

Best of luck to you, Linda! I have a weakness for those GS cookies too!

Hugs,
Donna

Linda, I feel your pain! I have gained 7 pounds since June!! I've never done this in my life and I'm pretty sure it has to do with blogging. We've been walking but warmer weather would sure help!

As much as I love Girl Scout cookies -- I didn't buy any this year for that very reason. Blogger butt is a curse and menopause is a conspiracy against us normally "hot and sane" women. (not hot as in menopause hot)

Put the Thin mints in your freezer & snack on them 1 at a time.. I think you look Great & can't even imagine you losing weight..
Good luck though & I know you can do anything you want to do..
