nutter butters are not my friend
How is this related to my wedding you ask? Follow me….
Most brides start dieting immediately to fit in that “perfect dress”. Well, my “6 hour dress” has a corseted back, thus allowing me to justify procrastinating on the typical wedding diet. I was happily eating anything I wanted until a friend of mine, unknowingly sent me into diet overdrive by announcing “only 6 more weeks until the wedding! Can you believe it?” NO, as a matter of fact I can’t! When did that happen? Is it possible to lose 20 pounds in 42 days? That’s around 1 pound every 2 days, if I calculated that right. I might be able to do it if I ate steamed vegetables and brown rice every day. We did get a really cool rice cooker from Mom… Okay, wait…slow the panic train down. My seamstress pointedly asked my if I was planning on dropping dress sizes. Even with the corseted dress, she seemed to frown on this idea. Okay, so 20 pounds, not such a good idea. How about a more reasonable amount like 5-7 pounds. That was more doable. A pound a week. I could lose that. So for the first few weeks, I was pretty good. Then hell week at work hit. Hell week at work has culminated in my sitting here in the airport at 9pm waiting for my redeye back east, which has now been delayed for 2 hours. Enter the Nutter Butters. I needed solace and for some reason, I thought the Nutter Butters could provide it. And to be quite honest, they have done a good job (don’t tell weight watchers). I have managed to only eat half of the package (don’t ask the obvious question) and I think I will stop now. But to bring the story full circle… my wedding diet was blown today due to the plane being delayed and the pull of the Nutter Butters.
Tomorrow will be a better day.
