September 9, 2007

Doooooode. (yeah, I know its spelled "dude" - I'm going for an expressive feeling here)

Anyway, doooooode. I'm actually blogging on the day I'm talking about - two nights in a row! Cooooool....

Sorry, feeling rather frisky at the moment. I'm thinking its a mixture of starvation, fat cells croaking off and releasing god-forsaken toxins into my brain, and computer brain-drain, from staring at a screen for waaaayy too many hours today. Whatever the reason, I'm a bit woozey.

Hmmm, I'm supposed to be telling you about my Conquering O' the Pudge, aren't I? OK, on with it.

As far as food and temptation today - little of either. I'm so stinking limited on what I can eat, I'm being horribly repetitive. This leads me to discuss what is going to have to become a page of my website eventually. Frequently Asked Questions. How about if I tackle just a few tonight?

Ques #1: How do we know you're really losing weight?
Answ: Very fair question, indeed. I plan on posting pictures on the website www.crazycancermom.com However, I have so many things to put there about cancer kids, cancer charities, why I'm doing this, etc... My incredible bulge pics have just taken a back seat.

Ques #2: So, just how huge are you?
Answ: Again, very fair question. Obviously, I'm rather zaftig. (how's that for a vocabulary word?) If I were normal size - I wouldn't have 100 pounds to offer up. The I-may-die-as-I-type-this truth is I started this quest at a whopping 258 pounds. I have a photo of me next to the number and Day 1. I'll take a new picture this week. I honestly just haven't made the time to do it. (all pics in the same outfit - no hiding behind fashion!)

Ques #3: What are you doing to lose weight so fast?
Answ: Truth? Not eating the foods I'm allergic too. I'm allergic to wheat, gluten, yeast, and peanuts. I'm also really, REALLY hypoglycemic (low blood sugar). I should never eat starches, sugar, or even much natural sugar like fruit. I've been tested for these things, I know it. However, its way, WAY WAY easier (and tremendously more fun) to live life eating these things than not. If you peruse the list I'm not "supposed" to have, you'll notice that basically only veggies and meat are left. I hate most meat. I'm a terrible carnivore. I have to mask meat with onions, garlic, peppers, etc to be able to tolerate it. So, I've been eating healthy for me this week - but cripes do I smell!

Ques#4: What exercise are you doing?
Answ: Paltry little so far. Yeah, yeah - I know exercise is as important as diet - if not more so. I'll get to it. May I please get past the bagel dreams before you toss me screaming into total healthdom?!

There you go - the start of my FAQ page. Hope that answered some burning inquiries for you.

I'm off to by lumpy, bumpy bed now. I'm thoroughly sick of computers and typing. So long!

Breakfast: 2 eggs, 1/4 C cheddar cheese, enough onions to choke a horse, 1 large C coffee - 3 tbs creamer

Lunch: 1 pitifully small hamburger, mountains of onions again (see why I smell?) 1 diet coke

Dinner: 1 huge pile of weed-looking greens, 1/2 C Cheddar cheese, 6 pepperonis, 2 TBS or less of dressing. water, C of coffee with creamer

Night!
