Taking up more space
I'm trending toward a notable weight gain for this week. I'd say about 3 lbs. If I gave you 10 chances you'd never guess the culprit.
I think I ate too many fat free puddings. heh. Last weekend I bought this convenient box filled with single servings of pudding in a tube. Apparently they were a little too convenient. And conveniently not filling whatsoever. Lets not forget the 3 candy bars I've had since Saturday. That is about 1,500-2,000 extra calories and its only Tuesday. Discouraging because it could actually take me 3 weeks to lose that 3 lbs. I'm fairly certain its not water weight or any type of muscle weight--when you've weighed yourself a couple thousand times over the course of 10 years or so, you understand real gains from fake gains. My friends I have myself a real gain going on here. On a side note, I can guess my weight within a tenth of a pound without stepping on the scale. Which really does me no good at all.
I've been thinking about it today because thats what I do, I over-analyze stuff. The pressure of my losing streak is building so this gain will alleviate that stress. Isn't that stupid?
If I take a step back this is all so stupid. Some dude gained 3 lbs. eating fat free pudding and a couple candy bars. I think there are more meaningful things in this world. But when you set out to reach a goal and you do something that takes you further away from accomplishing that mission, it is kind of depressing. When all of your buddies are having a couple pieces of pizza and the first thing that crosses your mind is, I can't eat even one piece because I might fall off the deep end and eat a whole pizza in a couple days, that is depressing.
I'm coming off a 17-hour day today. Had to be done, don't ask, that is a whole other topic in itself. While I feel almost up to a run, it would totally put me out of commission for tomorrow. Which reminds me tomorrow will be late too. Oh well.

My weakness is anything cold, creamy, and sweet--that pretty much includes ice cream and pudding. One measly container of pudding just doensn't do anything for me....i make a mean banana pudding though...mmmmm...that sounds so yum right now. I tried buying those pudding-in-a-tube thingies and freezing them...thinking it would be a good alternative to ice cream. I ended up having to eat about 3 of them to be satisfied. Now I stick with skinny cow ice cream sandwiches (though they're a bit less portable!).

thanks jeff.
chris--man i keep forgetting that fat snack idea, i know it works because i tried it recently with almonds (thanks). sometimes i get the low fat mantra pounded into my head and i forget.
rebecca-i didn't know they had fat-free AND sugar free pudding. hmm i must investigate.
krista--thats a good idea maybe i should have frozen them! anything to slow down my pudding snack attack.
