Dear excess poundage that refuses to leave,

You suck. I hate you. You're basically the anti Christ.

The irony of the situation? I'm running like a ca-razy person. Like, I'm kicking major asphalt (and treadmill belts) and slowly getting faster. Intervals, the works. As in everything that's supposed to make the pounds just melt away. (lies!)

And, I'm back to counting points (annoying as all get out) (and I'm usually up around 2AM starving in which I find myself with a half empty jar of peanut butter and am now noticing my almond butter stash is dwindling--nope, not sleep eating, I'm fully 100% awake) (also, when craving cookies, just make the cookies. Eating a box of crackers which equals like 500 points, is still not going to end the cookie craving--eat the damn cookie)

Obviously, I'm getting some bad juju for being all "I'm skinny!" last year and karma is biting me in the two sizes bigger than EVER butt. Thanks, karma for the reminder. You win. I'm not skinny.

So, extra tummy (and butt, thigh and upper arm) (gross, gross, gross) fat, take note. I'm totally onto you and your ways (box of whole wheat crackers anyone?) and it's coming to an end.

Come hell or high water, I will enjoy that damn In-N-Out burger in March after one hell of a marathon. And I will do it several (read: ten! ten!) pounds lighter.

Even if that means going to bed hungry every single night (and buying a safe for me to stash the peanut butter in and only letting my sis in law have the combo) (the chocolate can go in the safe as well) (crap).

Yes, bloggies, I realize we've been down this road before. But, I will be damned if it doesn't take this time.

I really want that burger.

(also, I'm so damn hungry right now that I could eat my arm. But won't, lest I be known as the girl who eats her own extremities)

LMAO! Oh girl you crack me up! How often do you eat? I eat a lil some-something every two hours. Just enough to curb the appetite and keep me going. I also make sure these snacks are either fruit or yogurt, especially when I'm jonesing for a cookie. I love me some cookies. I repeat L-O-V-E me some cookies. As in have a cookie addiction. But if you get the fun flavored yogurt it's almost like dessert and fruit has natural sugar to fight the cravings. There's my two cents... you probably just want to eat me though so I'm backing slowly away... :)

xoxoxo

We could be the same person here. I'm right behind you in the race for the title of the girl who may or may not eat her extremities due to unbearable hunger.

I'm right there with you! It's the weight-loss-revenge-karma after being skinny for the wedding. Now it's all, you're married so it's ok to be fat 'cuz you don't need to pick up guys anyway. And I'm all, screw you fat karma, I could care less about being skinny for men (including my husband), don't you know women only care about impressing (and being skinnier than) other women. And it's all, that's what designer handbags are for. And my bank account's all "ouch." Whatever.

We are SO alike! I'm struggling with this exact same thing. I'm such a foodie!

Oh I have such a weakness for Peanut butter and almond butter. I have been trying to loose the five pounds I gained over the hoidays and despite running it's not leaving. I know it's because of all the late night almond butter snacks!

You can do it girl!!!

I wake up starving all the time...try eating a protein filled snack before bed...it will keep your blood sugar more level throughout the night and ward off the munchies!

This post was HILARIOUS. You're just so relatable--I also have the problem of working out and eating right yet not losing any weight, and having a weakness for peanut butter and cookies... We can do it, lose the weight and get in shape! Really this time!

Love that you put those extra lbs on notice! You should be so proud at all the running (and endorphins!) - I know I'm impressed! Here's hoping those pounds get chased off soon...and that I, too, can stop eating entire sleeves of Ritz crackers. Happy Wednesday!
