I went to a fun hillbilly-themed party this weekend. I couldn't fit into my overalls (which used to be my dad's). So I wore the big Dickies I wear nearly every day (my new "fat pants") and put on a bandana and my gas station shirt. My friend Paula took loads of pictures.

With the surgery coming up, I was already looking at readymade meal options. Last time I had this surgery, I didn't feel like cooking or preparing food at all. I practically lived on cereal because it was the easiest thing I had. I was considering buying Medifast meals this time since I haven't had any immediately success with my 3 weeks so far of eating low glycemic PLUS it would solve the readymade thing. But I kept telling myself I couldn't be lazy, that I needed to save money. And that I could do that by using the crockpot and just eating less. But seeing the photos of me from that party disgusted me. So many of the women there looked so great and I look horrible because of this stupid Syndrome X Michelin Man physique. So I signed up for a month of Medifast. Even if I don't lose any of this damned weight, at least I won't have to cook while recovering from surgery.

How come I miss all the good parties? And don't give me that "But you live 2000 miles away!" nonsense.

Hmph.

Re: weight loss, I think it doesn't hurt to try something new if the old way doesn't seem to be working. Note that I don't practice what I preach on this, so you know it's sensible advice.

When's the surgery scheduled for? I forgot.

Surgery is scheduled for 1:30pm on Aug. 1. Of course, last time they had me in the cold pre-op room with no updates and barely any clothes for hours because they were running behind schedule. I'm going to have to make myself get up at 6am that morning so I can have something to eat before the food moratorium.

It was a good party. They have a great communal household and a really wonderful family of choice. I envy that. Of course, you have the Egg Roast.

Not sure about the other pictures, but you're looking good in that one.

That is extremely nice of you to say, David.

I just realized...that's a Mojo Nixon tour shirt. *I* have one of those.

As for the "extremely nice" part, well, hey. No problem.
