I have this dilemma with myself: If I TRY to watch what I eat, I fail.  If I don't and just eat when I am hungry, I tend to be okay.  I don't want to drop mad weight or anything, I just want a nipped waist in my dress, and de-puffing will do the trick :)

So I have a plan.  It's not about what I eat when I am hungry, but about what makes sense when making a good food choice.  

From here on out:
- Low sodium (for beating water retention)
- Low Lactose (for the skin and my gut.  I'm not lactose intolerant but some days cheese makes me not feel well...)
- Less sugar (Not NO sugar...I mean, I will have a period a few more times and I don't want to deprive myself of gummies)
- More water! (Because, yeah!  OBVI!)

30 days out:
- BYE WINE!  (I am going to need your support for this, ladies.) No booze.  Not even at the rehearsal dinner.  
- One coffee a day! (kind of a big change because my coffee consumption is creeping up there...)
- All other coffees get replaced by green tea ^_^ (which I stopped consuming and want to start again.  I LAHVE it!)
- No white bread (it's only multigrain my house anyway)

5-7 days out:
- NO SALT
- NO XYLOSE /splenda /nutrasweet /Malitol /sorbitol
- No grilled cheese :(  

These are all rules I am trying to do in my daily life anyways, so I feel like I am not restricting myself too much.  

It's the wine, guys.  I really like that stuff.  I like having a glass or a bottle or whatever.  I am really going to miss it but I actually love drinking ice water a lot so I will be fine :)

    No wine? No grilled cheese? Are you insane, woman?!? I realize it's for a very short period of time but AHHH! I'm sure you'll do just fine, and we're here for support.

    I had a cheese bun for breakfast.  Clearly I am not taking my own advice....

    I have no idea what a cheese bun is.. but I like the idea of those words in the same sentence.

    I'm thinking cheese danish + cinnamon bun? Ugh, that sounds magical.

    Ugh this is probably a good plan... as much as I hate it.  I'm trying not to go too crazy with diet and exercise (for my own sanity) but I am working out 3-4 times a week (500 calories per workout) and being pretty mindful about my diet.  But I do drink from time to time, and I love bread.. I think it's probably a good idea to start small.  Like, I need to stop having a cookie with my lunch EVERY DAY ahaha... my work cafeteria makes the best cookies (they're fairly small) but still.  Probably not the greatest habit.

    After my pants zipper broke at work on Monday, and I had to do emergency work pants shopping, I have decided that after my wedding (since my dress fits perfectly) that I might try to loose some weight after the wedding. FI says I'm perfect the way I am, but it would be nice to be able to find more than just 1 or 2 pants in my size. *Sigh*

    I HATE pants shopping.  Especially work pants shopping.  It's the WORST!

    I had a terrible dream last night, that I was naked and people saw me (I got locked out of a vacation home) and one guy looked at me and said "Only hot chicks should do that." and someone else said I had 'weird boobs' (I am self conscious about my breasts) I woke up feeling really bad about myself.  FI told me not to worry, but I think my subconcious is really scared that I don't look the same at 31 as I did at 25....

    What a horrible dream! And I'm sure your boobs a fine (I graduated to a C cup recently just because of my band size)! I hate shopping period, unless it's for someone else. I'm definitely not the same at 31 as I was at 25, but I was my heaviest at 27/28 and have lost some obvious weight without trying. If I could get back down to my 25 year old size that'd be great, but it's a good 20-30 lbs.
