I wrote at the beginning of this month that I wanted to lose 50 lbs. And then I went on a glorious week-long eating binge filled with avocado and hummus sandwiches on sourdough, steak fries, cheese steak subs, endless slices of pizza, a vast amount of authentic Mexican food, endless pieces of candy, endless chips, endless junk food, really. I loved it, but it didn't make me feel too great. In fact it made me feel throbbing headaches, terrible anxiety, bloated, nauseated, and just plain distracted. And it was interfering with my life. I was missing out on a lot of things because I didn't feel well.
Then Joey, the brother I never had, decided to tell me he was planning a wedding for next June. Look, I don't mind being a little bit fat. 50 lbs from now I'll be a little bit fat, the kind that is size 12 and not really fat. But the way I was eating, I wasn't just keeping on the extra 80 (yes 80) or so lbs, I was going to gain 80 more, or die of a heart attack since I'm un-medicated Stage 2 Hypertensive.
How about no?
Over at The World According to Cindy, Cindy was able to reverse her enlarged fatty liver and get down to a healthy weight by running an online diet bet using the The Game On Diet Program. She's got her waist-size down to a heart-healthy level and she's actually where I would totally settle and be happy being, weight-wise. My high school friend Elizabeth was the first person I knew who tried The Game On Diet with her coworkers, and it seems to me she's lost 1/3 of her weight. She can even run now, where before an injury was keeping her from even walking a whole lot.
So that's what I'm going to do.
