Slimming...fast

What is it about a diet that makes you completely aware of every morsel of food around you? Seriously, yesterday at work, I can tell you what everyone had to eat. As a huge sandwich lover (yes, I will pay $9 for a delicious sandwich), everyone had a sandwich that I really wanted. Oh, they all looked so good. My mouth is watering just thinking about it. I hate being hungry...I love food, way too much to be on a diet! A diet = death for a foodie.

I have decided to go on the "Slim Fast" diet because I need to slim...fast! My sweet grandmother gave me her unwanted Slim Fast shakes and I have been using them as two meal replacements during the day. Yesterday was my first full day on the Slim Fast plan, and needless to say, by the time I got home from work, I was hungry! The day wasn't too bad because I just snacked on fruits and veggies all day, but I was ready for some hearty, real food by the time I got home. Carrots can only take you so far, you know? Luckily, I have the world's most thoughtful fiance, and he made me a delicious and healthy dinner. Mojo pork with a black bean and corn salad. YUMMMM!!!!! I know you're jealous.

To be clear, my goal is to lose just a few pounds so I feel good about how I look on my wedding day. I am not looking to lose massive amounts of weight in only two months. That would be insane. But if I could lose just a few so I felt like I look better, it will make me feel better about the wedding day. The dress, my face, the pictures, the honeymoon (eek!), everything. It's really a win-win all around. I admit, this diet is a little bit crazy, but again, I need to slim...FAST! I can do it for two months. Anyone can do anything for two months...and it really hasn't been that bad. Granted, it's only day two, but I am optimistic.

Wish me luck in slimming....fast!

P.S. My dress ships out next week!!! WOOHOO!!! So I should have it in the next couple of weeks. So excited!
