How to Survive Life in the Suburbs

It’s Time To Get Back On The Diet When . . .

in Uncategorized on 06/29/09


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!

      Or when you eat the chocolate chips from your baking supply because there’s no other chocolate in the house…

      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 🙂

      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?!

      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.

      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. 😉
