"I HAVE to eat this because tomorrow/next week/next month I will NEVER get to have this again." Let the binging begin.
This Other Side Effect (OSE) of Being Fluffy hits when you think about/plan on going on a diet. You just know that you are going to be so awesomely excellent at this diet thing because this time you are committed/sick to death of being overweight. And since you are going to be so very perfect on this diet, you had better have that ice cream/chocolate/fried food/whatever you love and know you will never get to eat again because it is soooooooooooo bad for you but soooooooooo yummy that you will never let pass your lips again. You have to say goodbye. Closure is good for you, right?
Plus, if you bump up your caloric intake before you start the diet to end all diets, then the difference between what you were eating and what you will be eating will be that much more dramatic, which can only mean that you will get a bigger weight loss bang for your diet buck.
I am currently experiencing the Goodbye Tour OSE. Fortunately, Easter is now over so I can no longer get my crack du jour, Cadbury's Mini Eggs. Those being gone will likely increase my will to diet.
OSE happen in no particular order. They are wiley little suckers and while they are numbered here under some crazy notion that they can be corralled, we all know that the number 1 OSE is whatever what you are dealing with at the moment.

hi!
Have you ever taken a medication or seen a commercial for some prescription drug?
Okay, I know, it's almost impossible not to have.
Here's how it works...you have an allergy or high blood pressure or achy joints. But don't worry, there's a pill for that. So you take the allergy pill, which gives you high blood pressure...or a rash...or something that just might kill you. So you get another pill/cream/ointment to treat the new (potentially life threatening) sympton. The dance has begun.
The 'do this and that will happen' rumba.
There is no denying the law of Unintended Consequences. It's the way things are...you throw a rock in a lake and you are going to get ripples.
That's what this blog is about. The ripples or what I think of as The Other Side Effects.
In this case, it's about the The Other Side Effects of Being Fat.
I know, 'fat' isn't very PC but it's okay, people, I am Fat. It's not news to me. I am really well aware of it. Calling it 'overweight' just doesn't cover it. I am fluffy. Under tall. Fat sounds so much more real and to be honest, happy, then overweight. I am okay with that label. You may call it whatever you like.
I am about to embark on a big ol' weight loss journey to lose about 160 lbs. Yes, you read that right...160 lbs. I want to weigh less than half my current weight. I am going to share my yellow brick road to the promised land of THIN with you. In real time. Good or bad. Easy or hard. Successes and failures.
We have all heard the horrors of what being overweight will do to you. Google it if you don't know or want to know more 'cause you ain't gonna read about those things here.
Here you will read about The Other Side Effects, known now as OSE. At least the OSE according to my experience. WARNING: they aren't what you think! I promise.
Tomorrow...your introduction The Other Side Effects and the one that I am currently dedicating my life to. Thanks for coming along for the ride...
