Mental 10

The mental ten pounds. Tell me you don't know what I'm taking about. You get control of your life, your eating, your exercise and suddenly those mental 10 are gone. You feel lighter. You walk taller. You even feel sexier.

The mental 10 is a stumbling block.

You feel so damned good you decide why not just have that little piece of cake I mean you're doing sooo good - you're soooo in control. Doesn't matter you're on day 2 of your new you - you're in control right??

Wrong.

I'm fighting the high of the mental 10. Day 3 (who the eff is counting) and I'm in the groove of self denial. But...this groove will bite me in the ass - oh baby it has before. I like a bite in the ass from time to time but this bite bites and feels more like a kick in the pants.

I was having all these thoughts as I sucked my liquid supper and giving myself a get a grip convo about don't feel so damned good you're only in the beginning yada yada yoo. I got in my jeep and realized my thumb ring was missing. My thumb ring is always on my thumb (self evident) so where the hell could it have gone! Then I realized...

My thumb had lost weight.

Crap how was I supposed to keep the mental high at bay when obviously I was seeing results on day 3? I looked everywhere outside the car for the ring. It was dark people. A man (cute one) even stopped to ask if I'd lost something. I answered in all seriousness "yes, I've lost my mind". Oh my I forgot women don't have senses of humoures, it's a lesson from Roissy I've yet to apply (crap). He looked at me like I might be serious and I smiled to assure him I was in fact sane. He looked with me for a bit while I talked in some high way about how much I loved my silver thumb ring. I know I sounded high because I was still fricken elated my thumb had lost weight. He left me saying it was good I hadn't lost my mind. I said I was saving that for another day. Why the hell didn't he want a number exchange people!! Frick.

So anyways I get back in my jeep and move my wallet and lo and behold there is the silver thumb ring. Yay - I didn't lose it. It's a silver ring from Fossil (I know who cares) but I got it on vacay last year and get a million compliments on it. It makes my thumb sexy. Now my skinny thumb is sexy again.

The picture is showing how unsexy a thumb can be without a thumb ring. ;)
