I'm sick of it

I've decided that I'm really and truly sick and tired of having to work SO HARD at this whole weight loss thing. I watch some of my friends who have a "healthy" relationship with food decide they want something, eat a small portion of it, and then be done.

Wheres my switch like that? Why do I have to consume EVERYTHING thats put in front of me? Why do I LOATHE exercise?

damn genetics...

I'm a WOMAN, I'm not WEAK!

I almost murdered the toothless Indian woman who bagged my groceries today. I have NOTHING against Indians, nor nothing against people missing teeth. Nothing at all. I do, however, have issues with sheer stupidity. Yes, I was a woman, alone, grocery shopping. Big freaking deal. I do NOT need 2 whole items per bag so that I can, and I quote "handle the bags into the car". I do not need to be asked 5 (yes 5) times if I need help out to the car. 

I also do not need to pay $3.99 per package of whole grain English muffins, but only $.75 for a box of freaking Ho-Hos. 

"Miss O, why are you emo?"

This is what a student asked me on Friday. I had a bunch of financial stress Thursday and Friday, and it finally just got to me, and I was in a bad mood. BUT the difference between this time and another time is that I didn't throw myself into the boxes of donuts in the lounge, or the trays of cookies in the cafeteria. No. I waited until I got home and made sweet potato fries. have you ever made sweet potato fries?
First you have to peel the sweet potato.
Then you have to cut the sweet potato in half.
Then you have to cut the half into slices.
Then you have to cut the slices into strips.
Then you sprinkle them with oil and ginger and bake them.
Oh yeah, and a raw sweet potato is just about as easy to cut as it is to cut wood with a butter knife.

By the time the sweet potato fries were DONE, I was calmer, and didn't eat BOATLOADS of them. Must remember this the next time I'm stressed.

Oh yeah, and I had a loss on Saturday... another .6 lbs! Go me!

Things that irk me

After some time on the WW boards, there are quite a few things that irk me quite a bit. I'm boycotting posting for now (except my beloved beaches thread!), so I'll list them here.

• People who have yes, lost a bunch of weight, but find it necessary to bash anyone who hasn't.
• I like Splenda. So kill me.
• People with 20K posts (approx) who literally live on the boards. GET A LIFE!
• Sock puppets
• under-nourished, over-exercising, overly sarcastic people who call everyone "dude"
• Stock market traders, ladies in particular
• C.O.W.s
• Post-its
• Being bashed for no reason, other than being me

And I'm done...
