I watched this segment on Good Morning America today where they talked about dieting and 100-calorie snacks. At the beginning the woman was showing what quantities of junk food you could consume for 100 calories. She said 1/10th of a Whopper from burger king with all the junks on top. It basically looked like the doll-sized slices of cake I served to Barbie when I was five. Then she pointed to 10 peanut M&Ms and then something else, but I was most intrigued by the peanut M&Ms. I wouldn’t mind only eating 10 of them if that was a 100 calories. This lady also pointed out that you have to stop yourself from eating the whole bag. This would probably be a an issue for me. It makes me sound like a fattie but candy is really really good. It’s sugar and nothing is better than sugar.
It is currently the first week of April. Summer for me officially starts the first week of May, maybe the second week if we want to be picky about weather and such. That means there is one month for me to slog off all this extra weight I put on from stress and school food. I would be happy losing 5-10 pounds and not having such a squishy stomach. After asking my mom about whether I could get away with this body on the beach, she said maybe I should cut out some snacks. I’m thinking it’s more like cut out all dining hall food. And snacks. Maybe I will eat 5 peanut M&Ms and work on this whole diet thing.
