A Weighty Update

Since I told you I was working to reduce my weight but haven't blogged about it since the weather was frosty, I thought I'd let you know that I am down, officially, 4.8 pounds since March 1st.

No, this isn't weight loss a'la Weight Watchers or Jenny Craig or starvation, but it is on line with how I've decided to do it: interject moments of sanity with times of complete and utter abandon.

Take, for example, the last several days. Momma hasn't been at her best, with Aunt Flo knocking on the door and all, so I've been a little into beans. Not the good-for-you kind like Lima, or Kidney, or Garbanzo*. Not even the Java bean has been my fix. Only the Cacao bean would do the trick.

Chocolate ice cream, chocolate covered almonds, chocolate chips. I'd eat chocolate covered ants right now, if they were presented to me.

But this, too, shall pass. I will overcome. I will get back to the point where I am in control, instead of feeling overwhelmed by chocolate desires**.

Then again, maybe I DON'T want this to pass....

*Up there with questions to ask God: cockroaches, raw oysters, garbanzo beans? REALLY?

**If some advertising maven for a company that produces chocolate reads this, they may have a new slogan.
