So. Very. Hard.

Item #8: Lose 10 lbs.

They are gone. Along with several of their friends. But getting rid of them was, to say the least a battle.

As my dear readers can tell from my previous post, Thisbe *loves* food. Loves it, I say. Also certain alcoholic beverages. As it turns out these items are not conducive to losing weight (who knew?).

Thisbe also hates going to the gym. Or extensive physical exertion. Again, not conducive to losing weight.

So Thisbe had to suck it up and stop eating unlimited amounts of chocolate, give up the "Scorpion" drinks at the hibachi, and drag her sorry butt to the gym several times a week.

And that got off about 8 lbs. But the last 2 were stubbornly clinging on, refusing to leave, primarily because Thisbe refused to give up all chocolate/cheese/alcohol all the time.

And then came Thisbe's show (which will be the subject of another, longer, post).

And Thisbe was not able to eat much during tech week, so voila! Bye bye 2lbs, plus another 2.

Thisbe suspects that a couple of them may be back if she can ever eat again, but is hoping that returning to the gym/limited chocolate/cheese/alcohol intake will at least slow them down, if not keep them off.

And now, to lose another 10 lbs so that Thisbe can be really teensy and cute again.

Level of Difficulty: Very. F*cking. Hard.
Expectation vs. Experience: About what I expected
Time to Complete: Approximately 6 months.
