Food or Foe?

I am so full I may die.  No seriously.  I ate so much, and I knew it as I was SHOVELING it into my mouth.  My problem with food lies in portion control, or lack there of.  I know I know, but LIBBY you have NO GUTS?!?!  Didn’t they like, staple yer stomach?!  Didn’t you have that SURGERY AND TAKE THE EASY WAY OUT?!

Ya.  I did.  No.  It was not easy.  No it still isn’t easy and it’s going to be three years in July…

*le sigh*  It is still tough to know when to stop.  Food is a necessity, yet it is completely a gate way drug to happiness!  I love to cook.  I love to eat!  I love to entertain!  If only I could get paid to be Martha Stewart Jr. and like, do all this for others, and build a media empire! (A girl can dream).

Food is going to be an ongoing battle.  We need it to survive.  The difference will be in realizing that just because it is sitting on my plate, doesn’t mean I have to eat it all.  Or just because on the Food Network, we add BUTTER to make it BETTER, I don’t have to do that in order to make things taste great. 

In other news, I am hoping to secure a piano very soon.  I hope that this will inspire me to practice some discipline, and serenade my child with my skillz (that are definitely out of practice). 

I think this will be a good habit to get back into.  Music.  My long lost soul mate.

Tomorrow is weigh in day.  Wish me luck….

Attempting to blog…everyday.

Starting today I am going to blog everyday.  Quit laughing…No seriously.  I really enjoying blogging.  It helps me stay focused and keep me in check.  Plus I keep pimping this blog out at the support group meetings and then I never update so alas, here we go.  Goals for October: 1.  Blog everyday (minus yesterday…I don’t count it because it was a Friday :) ) 2.  Lose 10lbs by the end of the month 3.  Track my food via The Daily Plate (via Livestrong) 4.  Move my sweet arse a bit more than as of late (which really means, I haven’t done anything since May) So we covered numero uno, no onto…. 2.  I have instituted a weight loss challenge to the cult.  Who ever loses the most weight percentage wise by the end of the year wins a lemon drop martini.  I am going to try to do 10 lbs every month.  I am at a standstill weight wise (due to number 4 probably being non-existent), so time to get cracking.  3....

I Will Survive

I survived pizzagate 2009. I even chewed the crap out of a piece of chicken wing that I peel the skin off. I survived, and I will survive even more temptations. The company sure does out weigh the food. I just read my friend Donna's blog ( and thought about her latest entry, regarding things in life being more important than food. It is so true, that sometimes we lose perspective on life when we are so concerned about something that is so trivial. I think denial played a big role in my weight gain. I never thought of myself as a food addict, or obsessive about it, but in the recent weeks, denial is definitely rearing its ugly head. Its a hard item to come to terms with. Today I am on a mission to get more Nectar. Nectar is a fruit based protein drink that I find more tolerable at this point, over the thick, milky shakes. So far today I have had a nectar (fuzzy navel) with 24 grams of protein and some greek yogurt. A good start to the day. Today so far has been pretty l...
