Heeeeeeey Yall! I am slipping I know. And no excuses! I have been going and going and going! Opportunities have been presenting themselves to me more than ever. Recently I have been working with a wonderful and well known photographer here in Atlanta. I love the environment in the studio. Great people are always there, music is always thumping and FOOD IS ALWAYS OFF MY DIET! Yes, yes, yes. I was caught slipping. Usually on Saturdays and Sundays I give myself some time to retreat and break away from my strict dietary regime. But I can't do that on Monday, Wednesday and Thursday too! I mean come on! Fried chicken wings were ordered on Monday and on Wednesday someone had the notion to order a steak pizza and cheese pizza... Are you kidding me? You can not be serious right now. I must admit, on Monday I stayed away from the wings. I graciously snacked on my green apple and cutie orange slices. But on Wednesday... A bitch broke down and had that slice of extra cheesy, greasy pizza! Papa Johns had never tasted so good before in my life! OMG, I was feeling so sexy with this slice of pizza it was almost wrong. If anyone knows me, they know I am fool about Italian food period. But throw a pizza in my face and I am likely to eat your whole dayum pie! Well, about 2 hours after my sexual ordeal with this cheese slice, my stomach started to rumble... Hmmmmmmmmm... Something aint quite right. As I was packing up my things to leave the studio my stomach said, " Are you sure you are going to make it home... Don't do it Yolanda. Don't try it..." But I convinced myself that I could make it home. There was no way I was about to blow up the only bathroom in this studio! And have everyone in here saying oh hell nah to me!?! I think not.
I get on I-85N to head home and sweat is no forming on my forehead. I felt like Craig's daddy Mr. Bah Bah Bar-b-que man himself! Oh my Lord, I had the BG's! The bad guts, the bubble guts, the bubba gumps! This was a bad situation and I needed to get to someones bathroom quick! Oh wait, my cousin lives right off this exit! I crossed over 5 lanes of traffic and got off on her exit. I Called her in advance to let her know it was about to go down at her house in about 5 minutes! LOL! She giggled and said, " I am here, with a whole role of tissue for you!" Oh somebody is going to have jokes! Ugh! I finally got to my cousins house and she opens the door laughing! By this time, my head is hurting, my stomach is cramping, I am cross eyed and delirious. I run up the stairs bust the bathroom door down and sit upon the the Thrown of Glory! Ahhhhhhhhhhh.... What an ordeal! And I now know what caused this self destructive time bomb in my stomach! That dayum pizza! Before my diet, I was realizing that every time I would eat any kind of bread, my stomach would swell and cause me to, you know... Go! After not eating bread or wheat or dough for almost 2 months my system was clean of that stuff. And for me to eat cheesy greasy bread now was a big NO! NO!
I exit out of the bathroom and my cousin hands me some ginger tea and says, " I guess you learned you lesson..." I sipped the tea and looked at her sideways. I was poppin' pizza and sweatin' Whew! I guess you can say I did learn my lesson... The moral of this story is, to stick to what you say you are going to do when it comes to your health. We all have our cravings. Allow yourself a day to enjoy your guilty pleasures. But don't over do it! The things we enjoyed so much is what is slowly making us unhealthy, unhappy and fat!
Remember to Eat Right and Keep it Tight!!!!!
