Mindsets

Now, where was I? Ah yes, blathering on about starting this whole weight-loss thing.

One thing that I found to be the most important to me personally is to not see what I'm doing as 'a diet'. Once I get in the mindset that I can't have something then I just WANT IT WANT IT WANT IT AAAAAAARGH! I'm told this is pretty much the same for everybody, and I can believe it. As a species we tend to take what we want, regardless of the consequences. So when I tell my self "No, you can't have that chocolate bar/steak pasty/honey glazed pig carcass" then I immediately start dwelling on how much I want it and how delicious it would be and how sweet it would taste and we're back to WANT IT WANT IT WANT IT AAAAAAARGH! territory.

The Story So Far....

I wonder how many Star Wars references I can get away with before George Lucas comes and cuts me down so I can become more powerful than you could imagine (or he retcons me into the next edit of the movies).

So anyway, I should probably get y'all up to speed on my actual weight-loss. If I where a superhero this would be my origin story (though the choice of names would be rather limited. Blubberman? Captain Fatass? Mr WhoAteAllThePies?) Anyway, this is how it went...

The oh so important first post!

Now before you start going on about blatant plagiarism with the blog name, I'd just like to point out how bloody hard it is to think up a descent, potentially humorous, name for a weight-loss blog. I went through 'Secret Diary of Someone Quite Ordinary Trying to Lose Weight' (in which I might gush about how awesome it is to eat many different foods and get paid for it), 'Weight Loss and the Small Seaside Town' (in which I might monologue at length about my relationships with different foods ad nauseum), 'Big Bowl Theory' (in which I may gather some fellow geeks to me and eat different foods from large bowls while role-playing in a dystopian future)... I think that joke is played out now, let's move on shall we?
