Forgive me Followers for i have Sinned.... It's been 12 days since my last confession... I have taken the Lord's name in Vain... actually, I have comfortably fit right into my old mouthy ways... I have re-perfected the Art of the "EFF" word... as Noun, Pro-Noun, Adjective, Adverb, And of course... Verb. The "EFF" word is so over-used here in Philly that we have invented many other versions of the "EFF" word.... Like Friggin', Freakin', Frickin', Effin', Frick... i am trying to just scream "Filth" since that is the best, most descriptive "EFF" word, that really sums it up but I love the "EFF" word and all it's variations. It's so wrong but it feels so right! Anyway, I have coveted... everything. i am wanting to shop like crazy and i was planning on living more simply from now on... What is wrong with me? i want to buy all kinds of things I probably don't need... but I really like. i am trying to leave that "ME" behind... Manic Much? Well, Then there's the Gluttony thing... The food up here is why I am fat in the first place... Soft Pretzels and Cheesesteaks... and then there's a Soft Pretzel stuffed with Cheesesteak... All-night Diners with their umpteen layer cakes and Rice Pudding which I love... I am trying to figure out what i will be able to find to continue my new healthier eating habits... and I keep ending up in a Carb Coma pledging for a day full of "Chicken and Lettuce, Bitch!" tomorrow... and tomorrow never comes. i don't want to go back to Florida... I am ready to live here surrounded by Cheesesteaks and Family Food Pimps... I love them all, Unconditionally. Please don't let the scale forsake me! I promise that Tomorrow will be only Chicken and Lettuce, Bitch! Amen.
I know EXACTLY what you are sayin' Philly is sooo about food and sports and just being so into the social moment...
ReplyDeleteIts hard to be skinny in philly...BUT you can reform!.. would love to see you some time! drop me an email..
Hahaha! I love you Maria, even if you did make me desperately want one of those cheesesteak stuffed pretzels.
ReplyDeleteyou can do it! I hate how much I love food :(
ReplyDeletePS- can't wait to visit you in Philly someday (soon hopefully)- I miss you!
omg i totally know how you feel. I used to live near philly. I saw the LOVE and knew. I know you can do it though. look how far you have already come!
ReplyDeleteI've got to come to Philly, although I am not sure how much of the food would actually go (stay?) down. But it sure is tempting. And the "EFF" word is my fav word. It is truly universal. Good luck on finding some safe choices in Philly.
ReplyDeleteI love the EFF word and I find myself using it more on my blog than I do in real life because I have little ones under foot. I don't want to warp their precious little minds.
ReplyDeleteBe strong my roomie! Be strong!! You have come such a long way....don't give up!! Do you think you're stress-eating because you know you have to go back to Florida and you're trying to get it ALL in before you leave it behind again? Ummm yea, I tend to over-analyze things :)
ReplyDeleteDo you think when you move back it will be easier to avoid the bad things because you're 'home' or do you think it will cause you to be back where you were before.
I think this would be scary for me. I know how it feels to want to be 'home' but 'home' can also mean being unhealthy. For me, I just have to be able to visit 'home' and live 'healthy' because for me they two can't exist together.
Your penance is to walk 5 miles this week to work off all the sinning. ;)
Love you & miss you something aweful!! Can't wait for BOOBs this year!
hey! just FYI.... i was able to zip up YOUR size 12s without the help of a "special friend" this weekend..... xoxo
