AntiMunchDrunk

Just after I bitched

about booze making me a munchie-monster

I spent today's late afternoon&evening at the bar

with some coworkers watching college bowl games.

The last thing I did was munch.

Got an order of french fries and ate about three.

Though I probably should have munched on more them

because the alcohol definitely got to my brain&body

faster than I'd expected

and

I found myself falling out of the bar

and

ripping my favorite pair of black jeans

...

the ones that make legs look teeny-tiny

even though they aren't.

Oh well.

At least I only drank my calories

instead of both drinking&eating them.
And we had to walk about 10 blocks home,
so that was a nice bit of exercise.

Booze Munchies

Oh, Booze...

you make me such a fat-nasty-munch-monster.

The worst things about holidays is all the drinking

cause when I drink - I want to eat

...

and if there's food around - I will slam it.

Frustrating.

Why can't I just be the drunkorexic of my college days!?

Mindless Aid

I discovered a certain ADD medication's effectiveness as an appetite suppressant about 4 winters ago during the stress of college exam week. I was looking through old pictures yesterday to see how rapidly the effects took hold after I'd started using. I suppose I'd been losing since that summer, but I was certainly much more unknowingly bony once I'd started my regimen. For about a year, I never functioned without their help, but then I decided to behave...

...and with a normal appetite came lots of cravings.

Maybe I should find a psych for a prescription.

I need the mindless help back.

Intake Neglect

I've been neglecting my intake log.

I know all that I've eaten

so I've got to fill in my gaps

but I'm dreading facing the over-indulgences.

Oh well.

Gotta do it.

I had an interesting talk with the boyfriend today.

He was explaining his diet plan to me

and mentioned BMR.

(the metabolic rate of a resting body)

So I went online and figured mine out.

Apparently

my body requires 1400 calories

to simply function.

So apparently

if I net 0 calories every day

I would lose almost 3 pounds a week.

Obviously, this is motivating.

I'd like to make sure I always burn what I eat,

so that whatever my body must burn to function

will simply be take the pounds off in time.
