I'm thin enough to wear my fat jeans! Wait...
A few weeks ago I became too fat for my fat jeans. That was devastating.
Today is a momentous day of sorts as I've lost enough weight to get back into my fat jeans. I'm wearing them right now. Never thought I'd be celebrating fitting into my fat jeans.
Oh, well. I'll take whatever milestones I can get.

So gross...
My friend went to an oyster party last night.
What is an oyster party, you ask?
A bunch of oysters from somewhere in Asia are shipped to your hostess (in formaldehyde). The party attendees then shuck an oyster, take out the pearl, and have it set in one of the company's jewelry settings.
It's the strangest thing I've ever heard of.

8 Months
If I lose 2lbs/week I'll be at goal in 8 months. That takes us to June, 2008. I think I can handle being fat until then.

Experts, Critics and Saboteurs
I've mentioned before that I don't like people to know I'm dieting. I do hate when people discover that the fat girl isn't happy with herself, but it's more than just that.
Having been on several successful diets in my life, I have always eventually had to share with people that I was watching what I ate. When you drop alot of weigh, people notice and want to know what you're doing. Apparently, there's a big secret to weight loss that they don't know and insist I share.
When I do share, I find that all people fall into one of these categories: The Diet Expert, The Diet Critic, or The Diet Saboteur. Some people fall into several of these categories.
First, The Expert:
It doesn't matter what I'm doing, they know a better, faster, healthier method that I should try. Who cares that what I'm doing is clearly working for me? They know everything and their approach to weight loss would be much more effective.
The Critic:
Almost everyone falls into this category. When asked what I'm doing and I respond with my weight loss and exercise plan, they are, you guessed it, very critical. I'm either not eating enough, I'm exercising too much/not enough/not the right way, I'm omitting too many foods that they couldn't live without, whatever.
The Saboteur:
These are the "oh, come on. You can have just one bite" people.
When I first decided to follow the Cheat to Lose plan, I was petrified that people would find out. I didn't want to hear boo from anyone. I don't care to know what you think or don't think about my eating habits. Because of how the plan works (5 mini-meals with very specific portions), it was going to be impossible to hide the change in my eating habits from my coworkers. What would I say when they grilled me on my new diet? How would I respond to their criticisms?
To avoid dealing with the experts, critics, and saboteurs all together, I developed a plan. I decided to tell anyone who asked that I was "following doctor's orders" by eating in this unusual way. Who can argue with that? So far, no one.
It's not a blatant lie. My doctor does want me to lose weight. So I'm following doctor's orders :)
