FIRST CONFESSION: I SMELL CANDY JARS

ok, the whole reason I started this blog was because I am totally entering a new and wonderful (ish?) phase of my life. First of all, I am in the middle of a major weight-loss/getting healthy campaign - over 50 pounds gone so far (I would link you to my guest posts on Shutter Bug Mamma's blog but i don't know how to do that so... maybe she'll help me figure it out later). Also I have recently entered the Wide World of Dating.... ohh, ahhh. More on that in a later post, however.

So how do I start this off? Well, how about with a confession... I most certainly smell my mom's many candy jars every night. Weird huh? You would think that someone with a sugar addiction would not want to torture themselves this way, but for some crazy reason it helps me remember the hold that sweets used to have on me. Kind of like when I quit smoking, I really needed to second hand it any chance I got, until eventually it got to the point that the faintest scent of cigarette smoke sickens me. Hoping this will work the same way as I get the sugar currently residing in my body (hiding in the remaining fat I imagine!) out of me that the need, no the longing for it will fade, and maybe one day become repulsive.

This is a short one, but it's just to introduce myself and give you an idea of what's supposed to go on here... me, blabbing or complaining or bragging about losing (or, OMG, gaining) weight - meeting or dating or talking to guys (I hope!) - and all the spazzy things that are bound to occur on this crazy-ass journey of a cow going skinny.
