Dear Plumpy Pad,

So yesterday I was bad.... REALLY bad. I let temptation for a quick, cheesy, fattening bite rule my actions!

I went way over my calorie allowance yesterday by binging at Arby's, and even though I didn't eat as much as I would typically eat on a fast food binge, it is still NOT OKAY!

I got fat eating my feelings through massive fast food consumption... Why would I let fast food get ahold of me again??

I am...

Dear Plumpy Pad,

HELP ME! I was watching TV today, and I cannot handle the delicious commercials for taco bell, arbys, burger king, pizz hut, etc...

All I want in the world is an arby melt! Only, when I say I want an arby melt, I mean I want 4,000 of them!! This is so horrible! I am so good at making justifications... I don't want to ruin how well I have been doing, but I don't know what to do!! ARGH!!

Here's the food log so far for the day... I'll update...

Dear Plumpy Pad,

Last night I began my exercise plan! I went to the pool and swam laps, I had my husband time me to see how long I could swim for... and did laps for 20 minutes! Then I hooked onto the side of the pool and just kicked for another 10 minutes.

My plan is to go swimming 5 days a week, and hopefully build up my stamina so that I am swimming for longer and longer periods of time!

Now this all sounds well and good, but I have a history of making...

Dear Plumpy Pad,

So there are several people on here that have lost 100 lbs. in 6 months time with restricted calories and activity... Which means by the end of August I could be down to 215!! That is one of my many goals, and it is actually obtainable!

I have decided to try to curb my scale addiction by having my hubby hide it for a few weeks... I will not weigh in again until March 15th, until then I will just continue my exercise and food intake. I can't wait to see...

Dear Plumpy Pad,

Just a thought... When I get my weight down under 250 (only 57 pounds to go!) I'll refer to you as: (Less) Plumpy Pad!

Anyways, this morning I have been productive I got up and made a small, tasty breakfast for me and my hubby. I set the table and everything!! I mean it, placemats and all! I am so impressed with myself because I never cook... My hubby usually does all that!

Here's my food log for the day!
