Stupid? Kinda….

Yesterday was such a weird day, food and otherwise, that I won’t even go into “otherwise”. I don’t know where to start. I’m always honest on my blog, and sometimes when I make a decision, (a food decision) it’s much later in the day that I remember that I am going to have to blog about it! Well, I guess I don’t HAVE to, it is a decision I make, but it is what I do. Then I think….how will I explain myself without looking so stupid? Then I realize, I kinda look stupid a lot, and really, people are used to it and nobody cares. So…here’s the deal.

It is super important to me that I weigh less that 160 when I leave for vacation exactly three weeks from today! I can’t explain it, except for the fact that I have never been on vacation and weighed less than 160 pounds in my entire life…..well, except for maybe in grade school, but that doesn’t count.

Now, I realize that I am not going to look that much different weighing less than 160, (157 would be great!) than I do today, weighing 161.0, it’s just a thing. A mental thing. A mental thing that I just can’t seem to get past. When I got my weight down to 154 in October, I was ecstatic knowing that I would weigh in the 150’s the next time I went on vacation! The thought of it was exhilarating, until the holiday’s came, and I messed the whole thing up and let my weight creep up to 167!!

So, I’ve been doing my thing and working at getting those pounds off, and they are coming off, but I am panicking a bit thinking the pounds aren’t going to come off as quickly as I had hoped. Here’s where things get weird and you will likely think that I am stupid. It’s okay, I think it too, and after I told Mike what I am about to tell you, he thinks so too. Monday night, while on Pinterest, (DAMN YOU PINTEREST!!! I saw this dumb ass “3 Day Diet” that say’s you’ll lose 10 pounds in three days. So, I decided to read all about it. It’s ridiculous, but the attraction to me was the simple food, the very detailed list of exactly what to eat…..and…..it’s only 3 days! I have NEVER done any kind of a crash diet (EVER) and I have always thought they sounded like the dumbest thing ever. But for some reason, I decided to try this one. I think it’s just an experiment that I feel I must try, and I will most likely regret it, but if I do lose even 4 pounds in three days, I’ll be pleased, but I will still think it was a stupid thing to do and that I was stupid to do it. 

There is no need to tell me how stupid this is. I read all about it and found nothing positive about it, except for the fact that it can work, but is NOT recommended. 🙂

Seriously, I have NOT had a good night’s sleep in days, so I blame that for my poor decision making.

No comments on this post are necessary. You may however, roll your eyes. I am. Mike did.
