Cupcakes and brownies
As if it wasn't bad enough that I am hungry because I am readjusting my calorie intake, my roommate comes home today with cupcakes and brownies. And not just one or two. Two large containers of them. It was her last day volunteering at the hospital. I love sugar. I'm a sugar addict. I gave up sugar (for the most part) for my ten weeks in DC. I ate ice cream when my friend came to visit. I had a piece of pie at a 4th of july BBQ, and I cracked once and bought a candybar. That is it. That is the only junk food I have had since May 13th. I love sugar. I crave sugar. I always have. (on a side note, at this very minute, my roommate's boyfriend is barking at the cat. No joke). But I resisted the brownies and cupcakes and ate an organic carrot instead. I am not having fun. Actually I am. But I really really want a brownie.

My God, what fun is life when you take out all the things that make life fun? You REALLY WANTED the brownie. So if you REALLY WANT it, figure out how many calories it is, and adjust your calorie intake accordingly. You REALLY want a very occasional brownie, and one brownie is 300 calories? Eat it. You're down to 1300 calories. Make them count.
thinking like that is how I ended up weighing 220 pounds in the first place. My first year of law school I REALLY REALLY wanted to eat those fast break bars (my favorite candy bar) the smarties candy (was absolutely addicted) and those maple candy thingies. I also really wanted to eat the See's candy over Christmas. And the ice cream. And the nutty bars. What I really want, is to be able to ride up hills at a reasonable pace on my bicycle. That is what made me determined to lose weight in the first place. I got tired of being so darned slow (on a side note, while I still get passed going up hills on a fairly frequent basis (I'm still a good 10-20 pounds overweight and ride a heavy bike), I often pass other slower even more out of shape people going up hills. Hah! I'm not the slowedy person out there anymore)
