here we go again

I watched Oprah a few hours ago and she had another one of her weight-loss episodes. I'm sure you know the kind. One of the people she featured was a 700+ pound man who lost a mind-blowing 500 pounds! And get this, he lost all that without any surgery.

So it got me thinking (which always happens when I get sucked into Oprah's inspirational mind-trips), if this guy was able to lose that much weight, then the 10 extra pounds hanging off of me shouldn't be such an insurmountable obstacle. I know, my train of thought is disappointingly predictable, but I blame that entirely on Oprah and her penchant for making things seem so simple. Anyway, I've decided to focus my energies on losing those stubborn 10 pounds. Nevermind all those years of trying to get rid of them and failing miserably. Its time for another shot.

I've decided to do this in stages, and the battle starts with food. I know it's going to hurt, I love food as much as the next person (the next person being an overweight person who uses food as a crutch and can't get enough of it). But it MUST be done and here are the things I plan to say goodbye to:
  • Double Cheeseburgers and Fries from Mcdonalds, KFC's Original Recipe Fried Chicken and Hotshots, Sausage Stuffed Crust Pizza at Pizza Hut
  • Whipped cream and full-cream milk in coffee
  • Reese's Peanut Butter Cups and all of its other chocolatey friends
  • all shapes and forms of junkfood
  • instant noodles and soups
  • the entire pork menu at Grill Queen
  • half my rice intake
  • cakes and pastries my mom brings home

I know there should be a lot more, but for now, these are the things I can stand to give up, and even this is taking a supreme effort. Now, I wait and see how long my willpower holds out.

I've seen that episode... the guy gets the car after losing that much pounds... that was a great one.

Oh, by the way, thanks for reading my blog... yeah, all the stuff I can't say in class I post it up there... just about anything under the sun lately.
