Have you SEEN me?

Formerly Not So Much. . .the daily musings of a 26-year-old PYT whose self-love is superceded only by her obnoxiously endearing ability to remind you at all times just how fabulous she is. Guys too stupid to realize how lucky they are to be graced with her presence? Woman with 4-pack abs climbs onto the elliptical trainer next to her? Arrives at Chick-Fil-A at 10:37, only to learn she has missed her opportunity for a chicken biscuit? She throws all these setbacks off with disdain. . .after all, have you SEEN her??

My So-Far Successful but Doomed to Saturday Setback Diet.

Just because nuts are permissive on the South Beach Diet doesn't mean that you can eat COPIOUS amounts of them, including NOT ONLY peanuts, but Splenda-encrusted pecans that you whipped up at home last night. I CAN'T HELP IT, I left my sugar-free jello at home :-(

On the bright side, I have lost 5 pounds in about the last 2-2 1/2 weeks. (I've only been on the South Beach for the last week of that, though, so I expect the pounds to start falling off faster any day. . .SO LONG AS I PUT DOWN THE NUTS!!!)

I entirely intend to cheat on Saturday for some Golden Enchiladas at Jalisco, though. For those who don't know (my British fan base, mostly) they have this meal at this Mexican place in Atlanta called Jalisco, called Golden Enchiladas. They're basically taquitos (deep-fried corn? tortillas, rolled up around chicken, then smathered in white cheese and sour cream or guacamole if you are so inclined, I am not). Miss Issues, jump in if you can describe them better. It is literally the happiest meal on earth to me. South Beach, for that 4.7 minutes it takes me to scarf those down, be damned. And then, of course, I will go out with my girlfriends and drink. . .again, copiously. . .

A minor diet setback. . .so worth it. But keep in mind, you always weigh about 2 pounds less on days after copious drinking. . .cause you're dehydrated. So 2 pounds extra Golden Enchiladas weight = 2 pounds water lost from dehydration. That equals a 0 net gain in my world, people.
