What doesn't kill me...

Can only make me stronger, right? You may think I am reffering to the everyday trials of taking care of two children under the age of two.
Well, I'm not.
I'm talking about my new diet. It's called the 'No More Little Debbies' diet, and it's so hard! I have to admit that during my pregnancy I developed quite an addiction to these sugary, fluffy, creamy cakes. And that waxy feeling that the frosting leaves on your tongue-divine!
After I had Sarah I realized, of course, that I could not continue eating packages of the snack cakes everyday, (I have amazing metabolism during pregnancy that leaves me immediately after giving birth- nursing does NOT melt the fat away.) so I told myself I could have ONE a day. One. Well, lacking self control, I would sneak a bite in at breakfast, a few before lunch, and by the end of the day I would have eaten half a box. You heard me!
So, I have decided the only way I am actually going to succeed my battle is to not have any in the house. At first the very thought of not having any cakes right at my fingertips gave me the shakes. But I am so sick of looking at all the 'jiggly' in the mirror, that I am willing to give it a try.
So here I am. Stuck in a Little-Debbi-less house, but about 1000 calories lighter today than any other day. I can't say that I won't ever fall of the wagon, but maybe someday soon I will wake up WITHOUT Little Debbies on the brain.

Poor little Rachel doesn'ts stand a chance.

I'm laughing my head off. That is so funny! I need to keep ice cream away. I got VERY addicted to Ben and Jerry's during my pregnancy!!!

I hear ya girl! (except for the turbo matabolism pregnancy part.) I have a brillant idea, why can't we come up with Little Debbies that will slim our tummys and take inches off our backsides with every yummy bite. DON'T WE WISH THIS COULD REALLY HAPPEN! If so - we would be RICH and SKINNY that is for SURE!

You are so funny. I totally get what you mean about lack of self control. Jeff thinks I'm mean because I won't buy lots of junk food but it really is because I have NO self control! You have to find something else that you like to replace it.

I love it! My addiction is chocolate and you are MUCH stronger than me! I too have my baby weight to lose. Good luck!

OMG you are so funny Joy......I am trying to be really good myself and not eat any candy or packs of gum! That's a hard one for me!

Shelly said...

OMG you are so funny!! I could have written this myself. I'm going to be so sad to give up my m&ms and milkshakes when this baby comes, lol.

I too will miss little debbie :( I tried a low calorie imitation yesterday and it just wasn't the same. I think we should join AM in the biggest looser contest. Good luck!!

Joy - I am with ya! I have to stop eating Rina Miriam's food, cheeses especially..... Good news is that today Y went with me and I joined LA Fitness and their Kidz Club. Basically I can work out and take any classes I want with $10/month unlimited babysitting for Ayala while RM is at school or them both or whatever. Wish me luck!
