You realize you have been alternating between just two pairs of pants. These my friends are called your FAT pants.
You wake up in the morning and your very first thought is about food.
Actually, your every thought is about food.
You are sneaking chocolate when no one is looking.
Your daily water intake has been switched from the recommended 8 glasses to 1 glass of water, 4 of coffee, 1 juice and 2 glasses of wine.
Your kids ask where we are ordering dinner from tonight.
You are exhaling when you weigh yourself on those nasty scales just hoping it takes off an extra ounce or two.
You consider cutting your hair. It will definitely reflect a weight loss. (I have a lot of hair.)
You are making those grunting noises as you get up off the floor again.
You are considering going back to your old reliable scales. The ones that were wrong by 5 pounds but always made you feel so much better about you!
You are considering buying spanx.
Your exercise regime has been switched from time on the treadmill to time on the couch.
You look in the mirror and see your Mother looking back!
You and your Hubby have a discussion about what's for dinner AND what's for 10'ses (you know the 4th meal of the day!)
You are cussing at the dryer for shrinking all of your clothes.
Yes..these are all signs that you are on a slippery slope. Time to give yourself a kick in one of those two pairs of pants!

OMG are you living in my head?
All I can say after reading that list is: uh-oh.
diets are sooo NOT fun... but sometimes, so necessary!
Just what I needed to remind me that I should go to the gym tonight and get my running in no matter how tired I am after my first day back at work from vacation. Grrrr.
Thanks. ;)
ah, not just me then :)
I hate to see my mother in person, but especially in the mirror.
Very funny. I could blame my dryer, but I don't use it for my pants anymore!!! Thanks for the reminder..I am going to exercise RIGHT now!!!!
Yes, I relate to this. I do own Spanx and most of my pants have an elastic waist! It's not pretty. I wish you success.
LOL - I was blaming the dryer for shrinking my undies on the weekend!!!! and I am always thinking about 10's - it's my favourite meal of the day. Anyway - who wants to be a lollipop head?!
hey i own several spanx, never drink more than a glass of water a day and always blame the scales for being wrong......uh ho me thinks i might be so far down that slippery slope there is no going back! I'll be right on that diet once i've polished of the last of the jaffa cakes :)
Or when you eat the chocolate chips from your baking supply because there's no other chocolate in the house...
exhaling is an excellent idea... where've you been at my weigh in?
Hmm, I am right there with you, I am so NOT Liking my arms these days. Or my butt, or my belly , well not that I ever did!!
Oh dear, the chocolate is screaming out to me right now... oh the torture!
Please get out of my brain!!! Reading my thoughts and then publishing them is VERY embarrassing, k???
Ohhh man I so need to get back on my diet!
This list is my life! I have been saying for months I need to do something about this. Admiting you have a problem is the first step. Still wondering when the second step is going to kick in!
Funny, I don't have a dryer in China, so now it's my washing machine doing the shrinking! Darn machinery.
Are you my voice in my head, when I cuss at the dyer for shrinking my clothing.. and I hear.. It's the candy you ate..not just ONE piece but 5?! I often tell her.. STOP IT..Lemme alone. It's the dryers fault..NOT MINE!
I'm perfect.. LOL extra poundage and all..LOL
I don't know if I'll ever get on the diet route. Love my Ms. Vickie's too much. I don't mind working out extra to make up for that, though. :)
I am so here! I have went from a sixe 8 from this time last year to size 12/14! I am miserable!
This post is hilarious! Thanks for stopping by earlier. . .stop back by and enter my contest for a Longaberger basket that ends on 6/30/09.
Be Blessed,
Amy

Thanks for stopping by my blog! Hope you drop by again!
Definitely understand! I have been trying to get to the gym more. That gives me an excuse to eat what I want, right?
Absolutely... Hate it when those pants tighten up!!!
First of all, thanks for the comment in my current absence of blogging... I've got some vacation time so hoping to catch up with everyone this week!
And my water consumption yesterday I realized this morning as I rolled over feeling more bloated than ever consisted of 3 sips out of one of my childrens cups... remaining liquid throughout the day: literally coffee and wine. That.Is.It.
Bad.
my fat pants are now my skinny pants! i hate it!
also, i'm looking at my body and thinking, "oh, I guess I really do have mom's waist/thighs/whatever. who knew?"
thank you for stopping by Wednesday Spaghetti so I could find your blog! It's adorable and hilarious.
LOVE this post! So, so true... I always exhale before I step on the scale, I only weight myself in the a.m., and only after my morning pee. Also, I only weigh myself naked, and even take off the elastic from around my wrist so I can weight less. Yeah, I've got problems! I sneak food all the time. Bad me.
Uh.... I think I am staying off till after my holiday. Don't want to restrict myself on vacation!! ha ha Thankfully - no swimsuit will be packed :)
Yikes! Guilty of most. I do love water a lot! it's the only thing I drink. Everyone thinks I'm weird but.....
You are so funny. I always blame the dryer lol.
Too cute! I like the way you express yourself.
Best of luck losing the "little" extras.
Been there, done that! Happy to say I am not in that current state though. Very well captured.
And there was I thinking my little secret was safe - the scales set 5 pounds less! Yes, maybe it's Spanx time for me too (got to watch my weight - all that fabulous fur can only conceal so much!!)
LOL LOLA:)
PS Success in not losing the connection to yr page that usually happens as soon as it downloads!
yup, i think i live on a permanent diet, well until this upcoming vacation that is!
Hahahahaha - yep, know most of those signs. Oh dear!
