My Journey Back to Skinny Jeans-Broccoli is the New Bacon

But, let me tell you everything is starting to blur. I know that this is a low calorie diet, but COMMON! All veggies are starting to look so good. I can’t even watch any food commercials. I saw a pasta commercial and my mouth started to water. No lie! I had to grab a towel!

I have come to rely on creative visualizations that would make even Louise Hay proud.:

The broccoli *POUF* is now bacon.

The green beans*POUF* is now fettuccine alfredo with grilled chicken

The cauliflower*POUF* is now ackee and salt fish with dumplings

The grilled fish*POUF* is now pizza with oodles and oodles of cheese

broccoli-forest-carl-warner

The baby carrots*POUF* is now Jamaican beef patty

Is this helping? A little.

Am I starving? Not quite.

I am still going to bed hungry, which is a new thing for me. My biggest fear is not a changing body, but if I will wake-up with my pillow in my mouth after having dreamed off a steak dinner!

My Journey Back To Skinny Jeans- I Just Ate Grass

Posted on 17th July 2009 in My Journey Back to Skinny Jeans Land

lala1Holy Mother of GOD, I just ate grass!

My diet looks like a cross between the South Beach Diet and Atkins one. Absolutely no carbs! I am dying! Last night I got so hungry that I made spinach for a snack. Spinach! If I didn’t feel like a cow, I do now! But, it is all good.
My tummy feels less bloated-he has eliminated all carbs and dairy. I never realized that milk can contain upwards of 36 grams of sugar! For such ugly creatures, who knew that something so sweet can come out of them!
This doctor makes it a practice of not sharing with you any weight loss. WTF? He feels that you might get discouraged with all the weight fluctuations, And he is right. I feel that too many people are so focused on the numbers and not enough on, say the dress size. You have to factor in water, bones…and maybe your big head. And with my titays alone, the scale shall tip over!grass-5
There is a funny thing I noticed lately. I feel energized when I wake-up! I usually feel so groggy, but I have only been getting about four hours of sleep and feel fine the rest of the day. One thing though I hate is that I go to bed hungry. I don’t know if that is a good thing or bad thing. What I do know is that in the evening time it gets really hard for me. I need to buy celery and make up a little veggie tray for me and keep it in the fridge, so that I won’t cheat.
If only I can get over my addiction to cheese.

I guess the cheese stands alone.

My Journey Back To Skinny Jeans-My New Diet

Posted on 17th July 2009 in My Journey Back to Skinny Jeans Land

BeFunky-13Yes my possums, mois truly has jumped the fence…I have gone on a diet. And just not any diet, it is a medically supervised one.  This makes me accountable to someone and not just myself. How big am I? I am delightfully plump! As of right now when I look at my behind in the mirror it all fits in the entire view, thanks be to GOD! I did this to prepare for my upcoming schedule for my new album and all that it entails….and lower my blood pressure.

So the first time I went to see my doctor I had to weigh-in. I was going to go on the scale with my sandals on, but the nurse told me to take them off. Stupid moi! I need all the non pounds that I can count! Then I had to weight to see the doctor. He seems to look like he knows what he is doing. He looks like one of those non-looking doctors; tanned and very young. There was like a gazillion people, so you know that he is cleaning up!

So, I got my list of food and supplements I have to take, which I will share with you at a latter post. Do you know that there are several different types of lettuce? I can’t recall the last time I went into the veggie and fruit aisle. Normally, I pick up spinach and bannas, but that is closer to the front door the market.

So wish me luck on my mission (which I won’t tell you what size that will be). I guess when you see my new video you will then find out.
