The Skinny Person Diet
I’ll admit that I’m not a skinny person. I was never a skinny person, although I know a skinny person lives inside me. I was slender, and dare I say it - HOT, back in the day.
At the moment, I’m what I’d like to call “fat,” which is a shorter way of saying “I have thirty pounds of baby fat still to lose following my 12lb 8.5oz* child born a year ago.”
At least according to friends who also have a life, it’s normal to take years before all the weight comes off. I also have skinny friends, but they just lucked into the weight loss - plus they are better at eating small portions. But I think that’s because they are smaller people - they have smaller stomachs, too.
*(I find stating his weight makes people forget that I’m overweight - it’s proportional)
But now that Brian is about a year old and Jake is three (although not potty trained thanks to six months of moving hell), it might be time to tackle this fat once and for all - or at least get started on the three year process.
My Plan?
The skinny person diet.
I don’t have time for counting anything and have no desire to leave my kids to go to meetings. Can’t go in the evenings anyway - I’m working.
So I shall simply pretend I’m skinny and eat like the skinny people do. And I don’t mean the people like my husband (who isn’t skinny, just slender) who have mega-fast metabolisms. I mean the skinny people who DO have the time to count things. I figure if I watch them and eat the way they do, I’ll be benefiting from their hard work.
I’ll let you know how it goes.
You may have noticed I also have time for a renewed interest in my blog. Here’s to my future non-fat self and my renewed blogging!
