Straight from the chatbox: Part I

By Juli


C: hope I can lose some finally
the working out is key, I think, not the eating so much
eat healthy, don't go nuts, exercise lots
that's my plan

J: what a crazy concept! me too. i have to do both, and concentrate on the diet portion

C: I feel like I'm starving if I concentrate too much on the diet
Primal instinct to survive

J: see, i have this "accidental" eating habit

C: so I'm just trying to establish an exercise habit without eating extra calories to compensate

J: oops, stuffed in four bites of chicken nugget
oops, half a chocolate bar

C: LOL
I actually do okay if left on my own
watching the points helps keep me honest
but I'm not like, "oops, I tripped and accidentally ate a danish pastry."

J: me too. i have to carefully record points
lol

C: I can say no to the pastry
I like me some pastry
but I can deal
what's hard is when I go out or go to someone else's house
I can control my own environment, but when someone else is plopping a pan of lasagne down on the table, well, I'm gonna eat it. It's the law.

J: lol. i can say no too, but i can be talking to B- at the kitchen counter and eat a couple of his doritos before i realize i'm NOT supposed to be eating doritos

C: why do you HAVE the doritos?

J: because. . .
because they're on SALE!!

C: Oh, okay
that's totally all right, then
ahem
:-)

J: damn

C: ?

J: I need to stop buying shit
like that
dammit

C: you ok?

J: (sobbing softly)

C: pat pat
