Pasta and Fries, Oh my!!!

About 2 months ago I went to the doctor for just some congestion and allergy stuff... well, of course they wanted to weight me, like that had anything to do with my allergies! After whining and complaining I was forced onto the scale and wasn't able to take my shoes off and we ALL know that the shoes adds at least 10 pounds to everything haha! Anyway, after leaving the doctors offices with my prescriptions weighing me down and the weight on the scales getting me down even further I decided I needed a change. Skipping ahead a couple of months, I finally broke down and went to my trainer at the gym and told her I needed help. Not just with workouts but with my diet. So here I am looking at this itty, bitty, skinny, cute, little, lady of course older than me so I felt worse, and she's about to tell ME what to do and EAT. Yeah, I was alright with that until we started talking about my eating habits. Any of you who know me well enough know that I like my pasta and french fries!!! I know what you're thinking, "Well that's your problem right there fatty, lay off the carbs!" guess what, you're wrong!!!!! I also love grapes and bananas and she told me to lay off of those also because of all of the sugars. So here I am with a fridge full of "healthy" groceries, so I thought, and now I have to eat all of that (hehe) before I can go and purchase MORE healthy stuff. All in all, it was a GREAT workout and I left feeling better about myself, also a good bit sore, but I will strive to my goal of loosing 10 pounds by Thanksgiving. She did tell me that this was an achievable and healthy goal so I know I can do this. Keep me and Jeff in your prayers, because if I don't kill Jeff because of my new eating habits he is bound to kill me because of my grumpiness due to the lack of pasta and fries in my new "EATING HABITS".
