Okay so this is technically week two of the big diet adventure...but I'm really saying it's week one since I just officially signed up for WW online yesterday. Man...I haven't mastered the art of feeling full. I have, however mastered the art of feeling like I'm going to gnaw my own arm off. Then again...that would probably be too many points plus. WHY is it so easy to gain wait...and yet so incredibly hard to lose it. And why, oh why must food taste so good?? I have decided to no longer buy things in which I can't stop myself from eating. The problem lies in the fact that I have replaced popsicles with frozen grapes. Good, right?? Seeing as how fruits and veggies are no longer points...I can eat all I want. Nope...that's where it gets ya. You eat until you're satisfied. Okay, so what about when you're in my case...and you're never satisfied?? I could probably eat my way through a vineyard of grapes (wine works too) and still want to eat more. What's funny is we ran out of grapes on Sunday...and I swear it's like I was having withdrawals from frozen grapes yesterday. So much so that I bought three bags at Kroger...and I'll probably go back tomorrow and get more. They are on sale for 98 cents...which is super cheap for grapes. I need to buy a freezer dedicated solely to them. But I guess my problem is...if I'm eating all these grapes...how is it really any better than my plethora of popsicles? Grapes have calories too.
I am trying to eat smaller portions and have periodic healthy snacks throughout the day. Can anyone guess what my afternoon snack consists of?? Grapes?? You guessed it!! Sometimes it consists of string cheese instead. They say protein helps you feel full longer. You know what I think?? I think string cheese is just a tease. Oh well...It will get better...and I know once I drop a pants size, or see a change in the scale I'll feel more encouraged.
So...how does one successfully diet and not want to eat an appendage??
On another note...
Remember the "nerdy/geek" person I wrote that lovely letter to?? Well I have more to say.
Dear "that person",
I understand that you are always out to make yourself look smart...and feel smart. Remember...we have had this discussion of how you put others down to bring yourself up? So...when I read you one of the daily calendar pages from my "Butter my butt and call me a biscuit" calendar, I don't need you to tell me that it's not proper grammar. And let me list the reasons why.
1. The calendar is calendar is called "butter my butt and call me a biscuit". Really...what did you expect.
2. I don't give a flying eff if it's grammatically correct or not.
3. If I wanted to get an english lesson then I would enroll in school...and get a diploma.
4. Remember...there was a time when "OMG", "LOL", "drama queen", "soul patch", "waterboarding", and "unfriend" weren't actually words but guess what...they're now in the dictionary.
Sincerely,
I'm not your student

TSA pat down
I had to rant about this...and I really didn't know what avenue to do it. Facebook doesn't allow me enough characters for a proper rant! So I saw this clip today. Now, I understand the little girl is 6. And in our country most 6 year olds don't pose a huge threat...although I have seen my fair share of 6 year olds that scare me...but there are some countries where a 6 year old can probably shot a gun...and shoot it well. Here's my issue. In watching the video...I saw nothing inappropriate with the pat down. It was a female TSA agent patting down a little girl. The scene in Crash where the lady get's a pat down...now THAT is going over the line...and that is abuse...but this? Maybe if I were a parent I would feel differently. And I know that I am usually playing the devil's advocate but come on. One person in the message board compared it to rape. SERIOUSLY? In that case. Those TSA agents should ALL go to jail for the rest of their lives...because in a sense they are "raping" every single person they pat down. In all cases, there is a right and wrong way to do things. Had this employee done something that wasn't protical, or had she done something that wasn't standard for all pat downs then I would say yes...be up in arms...but she did her job.
Why is it that the people that complain about things like this are the same people that complain about having to have a body scan. Here's a thought...don't like it...don't fly. Pretty freaking simple. I am sure there are plenty of lovely rental car places that would just love to rent you a nice Ford Taurus. And those same people are the ones that would say the goverment isn't doing their job if a terrorist did get through security and on to a plane and we had ourselves another 9/11.
So let me help you out...Don't want to get a pat down at the airport??
1. Don't fly
2. Find a way to have world peace
3. Drive
4. Take a train. I hear scenery is beautiful this time of year.
5. Take a Greyhound. At least that way you can complain about the person sitting next to you that hasn't showered in a month. But you didn't get a pat down.
I'm off my soapbox now. It's just infuriating to me th at people make life a damned if you do, damned if you don't situation.

Rant-diculous
I will not have my feelings hurt if NONE of you read this…but I need to vent. Bad!! Days like today I wish I still smoked!
I’m feeling incredibly negative today so here’s just some of the things irking me at the moment.
Dear Copper Wire Steeler: Please do not expect us to feel sorry for you when you get electrocuted to death stealing the wire on top of a building…but thanks for clearing up the city of one less worthless criminal.
Sincerely,
Next time wear rubber shoes
Dear Peyton Manning:
I know that the entire city of Indianapolis thinks you hang the moon. I however am not convinced. If you are so strapped for cash that you have to make the Colt’s pony up more money to keep you then here’s my advice. Start winning the Superbowl every year and earning that big paycheck. That actually goes for all sports people…but I’m talking specifically to you Peyton. Stop asking others who have FAR less money than you to donate to the United Way…when you my friend could buy an entire country. I am pretty sure you could fund the entire United Way for the next 50 years. Stop saying you are here for your fans and the people…not that I’ve actually heard you say that but if you ever have…stop. You’re not here for the fans…you’re here for the money. Meanwhile, the rest of us busting our butts 8-5 52 weeks a year only to live paycheck to paycheck and can’t we still can’t afford your football tickets. So please…by all means…whether you go some place else, or you stay…don’t let the door hit you on the way out.
Sincerely,
Frustrated tax payer paying way too much for a stadium I can’t ever afford to go to.
I just want to say that with the growing rate of murders this year in Indianapolis, no one should be surprised. How often is there a murder where the person was actually an upstanding citizen…besides Officer Moore…or the child of someone not quite so upstanding?? If you associate with drug dealers, gangs, gang bangers, rapists, etc…be forewarned that you might end up dead by one of your “friends”. K, thanks!
And one more thing. If I ask you to do something, or for something, and you know you have no intention of fulfilling said request…please just say no thank you or you aren’t interested. If you say yes, I will bug and hound you until said request happens!
Whew…I wish I could say that made me feel better…but it didn’t. I’m still annoyed.
