Ms Elizabeth's Journal, 16 October 2012

I have found the weight loss secret thats been hidden from us! I got on the scale this morning and I was 160.4. I'm not recording it though.. I'm pretty sure it's all crap. Literally. Ok not to keep you in suspense any longer.. the weight loss secret is grapes.

Step 1 - bring the entire bag of grapes to work with plans to snack on it all week long.

Step 2 - Notice your boss is looking at you funny because you're walking out of the kitchen area with a handful of grapes every 30 minutes.

Step 3 - Say screw it and take the entire bag of grapes to your desk.

Step 4 - Get bad news from home... like the woman who tried to destroy your marriage is moving in with her married boyfriend just 3 doors down. Yay...Kitten is back.

Step 5 - Screw having a snack for the entire week. Start popping grapes like an addict.

Step 6 - Go to bed early.. wake up early.. curse grapes.

Step 7 - Get a nice surprise the next time you step on the scale.

So.. I'm rested. I'm excited to see the scale that low even though I know its going to go back up. I'm out of grapes. I have a little man who doesn't mind snuggling because mommy is about to have a nervous breakdown. I have an 8 yr old who is amazing and helpful and knows when to disappear because mommy is about to have a nervous breakdown. And.. I slacked last night so I have jumping jacks to make up and work out any frustrations I might have tonight.

Why think it's going to go back up? Use it as a positive, make good choices today and you will be in great shape! I meant to go to bed early last night. Hubby was watching the football game so it was the perfect night for it and I just didn't do it... BOO ME!! Hope you and the hubby can stay on the same pade as far as kitten is concerned. I'm always here :-). PS - I LOVE grapes but the carbs hate me and yes I will eat a whole bag!

At least it is 3 doors down and not in your guest room. Buy some new deadbolts for your doors!

I can say she hasn't been to the house that I know of since she left. She has gotten one or two things in the mail but hubby tells her then puts it in the mailbox so she picks it up later. But.. she also sent him a text whining that he didn't send her a birthday card this year. Really?!?! I can't wait to see what happens at christmas time.

Well feelin' your pain on the stress, hang in there. I can see where grapes would do the trick... kinda like apple juice, I'm guessing? I think I'll try that myself. Gotta be better than the raisins I keep at my desk.

I don't have all the background on Kitten but ia can gather she is a troubled pain in the A$$, right? Take the loss - what the heck! You "worked" for it!

DUNN DUNNn DUNNNNNN...Kitten is Back...Buck up DFW...you defeated the mighty villian before and you can do it again. A Good defense is a good offense, make sure she does not creep back in the home and you will be set. She is shrouded in Negativity....so keep her out. My wife and I are firm believers in the "Evil Eye" charms...keep them in your home and it will reflect anything negative and keep you house nice and positive! Grapes...what about the carbs? I love grapes...carbs hate me though...

Send this Kitten b***h lots of blessings and keep your positive vibes going between you and DH. That way she isn't causing you undo stress! Breathe. The Good Lord will take care of the rest!

Wow, I'd love to know the back story on this...because I'm nosey like that I guess. We all have our own struggles, don't we? I'm glad we can be here for each other, what a great little community I have stumbled upon.

I'm with HCB - a little confused about kitten but gathering that she is a no good waste of space... I think you should post this amazing grape secret in the forums to let the world know about this incredible breakthrough!! :)

Oh no, not kitten. Get some deadbolts. Maybe the boyfriend will boot her ass to the curb too. Take the weight loss and enjoy the new number on the scale.

I'm also curious about the backstory of kitten... is there a prior journal about this you can point us to? lol. Grapes are quite delicious! Erika, posting the grape secret in forums will only lead to a bunch of posts such as: "I'm eating 8239479 grapes a day and gaining weight, help!!??"

I hope the Kitten situation doesn't turn into anything, and she just eventually goes away. I don't know the backstory either but can gather she's no good. I'd record the loss too and just go with it. I bet you don't go too far up if you keep up with the healthy eating and get some exercise in.

By the way, I might as well eat candy if I'm going to eat grapes. So, candy it is! jk
