A: "I've got problems."
(Note: that was given from the pulpit in my brother-in-laws ward during testimony meeting. Interesting. Almost as interesting as having to go to another ward today, because our building didn't have power, and sitting behind a lady that had a dog in a dog purse, like nobody would notice, IN THE CHAPEL.)
So yes, I have a problem. I LOVE TO EAT!
My family is having a couples biggest loser contest, and I might blow it for Jason and I. Last week we did great, but this week, I am dying for good food.
I have reverted to my days as a kid on fast Sunday and have turned to the outside freezer for love.
I can't seem to stop myself from sneaking out to the freezer and eating a spoonful of old, yellow-ice-crusted expired vanilla icecream.
And if it's not the icecream, it's the uwrapped tootsie pop hidden in the cupboard, one lick at a time.
Sorry Jason, I have no willpower. Maybe next time you can be married to Philip, the gold standard of willpower.
However, I knew that the tiny sneaks weren't enough to add up for the weight gain I've had this week. I'd gained 4 of the 5 pounds back. I was afraid I was sleep eating, and there would be a documentary soon on me on TLC, "The Woman Who Loved Food Too Much." (I know, not as intriguing as "The Boy Who's Arms Blew Up," or "Tree Man," but you get the picture.)
That was, until today when Jason revealed to me where all of the calories were coming from. I couldn't believe it. One of my favorite meals, in fact, if I were on BL, it would be in my light up box that gets unlit when I got sent home.
Peanut butter and Jelly. Oh, I love those sandwiches on crappy white sandwich bread. I'll eat them all day long, for breakfast, mid morning snack and afternoon snack. You know how much is in a PB&J? 380 calories!! Chase that down with a couple cups of skim milk and you are at 560 just to hit the sweet spot. Farts. If I wasn't me, I could eat a Chipotle burrito every day and still beat me in weight loss.
So, now I know, and believe me, you other contestants better watch out!!
Oh, P.S. I found a couple of really good chicken recipes, and I hate chicken.
1-Honey Mustard Grilled Chicken
2- Spicy Grilled Chicken, really not spicy, just tastes like steak. Yum.
