Yeah, he wasn't so crazy about them - but he liked the fried chicken feet.  Go figure.

Yay!  I have lost 10 pounds total since we started this thang!

Also, I went to the visiting carnival, and managed to only eat one of those tiny lil' donuts - the SO ate the other 17.  Also, I rode on a roller coaster for the first time ever.  Fun!

Congrats, Smells.

I've only been on a coaster once, when I was 8 or 9.  Made me ill.

Congratulations Mel, that's a really nice accomplishment.

I love Roller Coasters, but i'm too big to ride on most of them.  Not for long though.  Hell yeah, WTG!!!

I did ride this rollercoaster last year.

Down just under a pound in the weekly weigh-in, although it was after I ate breakfast (but I didn't eat a pound of food, so likely no extra gain there).

Anyway, I was hoping for more, and +/- 1 pound in either direction can really fluctuate based on how much water I've drinken, whether I've peed or pooped lately, etc.

So I'm calling this week "broke even," even though I ate right and exercised more. 

Not fair.

A pound is enough.  It's somethin'.  It's better than being up a pound.

Also, the rollercoaster was indeed fun - it was the first time I'd had the opportunity (not a size thing for me, thanfully), as when the Exhibition comes to town they don't usually bring a rollercoaster.

Smells, I don't think anyone assumed that you were too grande to ride a rollercoaster.

Plus, did you know that FEAR burns calories?  It's a fact!

And according the The Tick fear is the most efficient fuel in the universe. A spaceship powered by fear can actual fly at the speed of lint (the only thing faster than light).

But how do you keep your fear from causing you to either a) stress eat or b) get drunk/high to self-medicate and then get the munchies? I think constant low-grade anxiety is what makes it impossible for me to lose these last 8 pounds.

Stress eating is not a problem for me, because I have never turned to food to alleviate anxiety.  Also, developing a fear of food and of gaining weight, while not AT ALL healthy or advisable, is pretty effective in preventing "weakness" in this regard.  In terms of self-medicating with drugs and/or alcohol, I've been there and done that, so the experimentation itch is out of my system.  And I'm not old enough to buy alcohol legally, so that's a pretty good deterrent.  Oh, and without getting into any gruesome details, I'm medicated enough as it is.  I don't need the dubious "help" of drugs or alcohol to calm me down, when I have something that's been proven effective in the test subject of Me and that is relatively tailored to my needs.

I realised after composing this response that it seems rather argumentative and contentious -- this was not my intent.  Sorry 'bout that.

I've been doing pretty well food-wise.  I made a Beef Barley Soup from scratch last night that was uberdelicious and only 200 calories per bowl.

The only thing that I CRAVE is Chinese Food.  I crave crispy yet saucy Orange Chicken like I crave the love of a woman's goodness.  It is strong and deep. 

Here's a question: how do you satisfy your basic human need to eat something crunchy that is also healthy?  I mean, there is nothing in the baked world that is the same as anything breaded and deep fried. 

I need some crispy back in my diet, and then my culinary transformation will be complete.  But denying crunch is just asking for failure.  I've tried searing meats and stuff in a really hot cast iron skillet, but it's not quite as crisp or delicious as say, fried chicken skin.

I did have a couple pieces of bacon on Father's Day.  That was pretty good.

But what the fuck can I add to a meal, salad, etc., that is crunchy?

I ask you!
