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.

Sara, you freakin crack me up! We all need to get together for lunch. I could use a good laugh from you and big Jules!!!
I love good food too! That does make it a problem when you are supposed to give it up!
Are you sure you aren't a sleep eater? Now that you mention it, I think I probably am. That's why I can't lose any weight! Maybe sleep eating runs in the family. BL is for losers! I hate it!
Peanut butter and yummy homemade jam sandwiches are supposed to be healthy! You know, grain group, protien, and fruit - it's totally healthy. We should find a way to thwart Philip!
Your whole family is skinny, I do not understand this contest.
Fun seeing you on Friday! Sorry if I was awkward.
Oh, fast Sunday memories- too bad you don't have an orchard and a knife. Maybe the spoon in the freezer will just have to do. What are you going to do when that one runs out? Maybe you'll have to get yourself a knife and start on the ham in front of it- yum, ham popsicles. It probably is a good thing you don't especially love meat.
I love your freaking posts! And ditto to Ericas comment:)
I laughed so hard at the idea of you eating frost bitten ice cream. I agree with the other posts, why the heck is your family doing a BL contest? We weigh in every Friday but to be honest, I try to sneak extra calories in Jeff's food on Thursdays so I can win. I have no shame. Love your posts!
ok...i am just curious...if you all are doing the biggest loser contest...what contest would you suggest for me?! if i looked like you, i would eat PB&Js everyday and not think twice about it - heck - i would skip the those and move straight on to dessert, for every meal.
Sara, call me... I found a CPR class for Tues night (tomorrow) :)

lol seeing as he won't be 4 until february I thought that would be a little harsh to make him wait/lazy of us so we won't have to teach him to ride in the snow. And nothing is too good for our son which is why we splurged and went for WallyWorld. The 12" works perfect and the seats adjustable so there's room to grow there too... here's the link http://www.walmart.com/ip/12-Boys-Jeep-Bike/13012221
