Just a few more pounds

Why are the last 10 lbs always the hardest to lose?

These are my reasons:

- I've gotten to my weight "happy place"

- 10 lbs is a lot of fucking weight to lose, people!

- The pressure, oh god, the pressure
(Esp from said "fling". Who is constantly giving me shit like "you never eat" or "all you eat is salad". Fantasy reply: Uhm, well, fuck you very much, I happen to LIKE salad. And actually, I eat all the g'damn time. How else do you think I've sped up my metabolism, fuckface? Now back off! Actual replies: #1. Yeah, huhn. I eat all the time. AND #2. But I like salad. PS. I'm only moderately annoyed by "fling's" teasing. I mean, I'm just not used to it.)

- Family get-togethers
(Oh man, everyone in my family and numerous barbecue caterers in the area can make a potato salad that is food orgasmic. I'm just sayin'.)

- I haven't taken a shit in 4 days
(yeah, that can't be good)

- The war in Iraq
(Actually, that hasn't affected my weight loss at all, I just thought it made a great scapegoat.)

- Overeating due to Anna Nicole's tragic death
(Also, not true. But I haven't mentioned it yet, and everyone else has and I didn't want to feel left out.)

- I am a little bitter I never made it to Hawaii, thus having no need/desire to work up a killer bathing suit bod
(Yeah! What's up w/that?!?! Stupid breakups.)

- Robin Thicke
(I just don't get it. Or him. He's not really that good a singer/entertainer. And it's affected my weight loss how, you ask? I don't know, but clearly it has.)

So yeah. Truth be told, I think I'm just in a bit of a plateau. I haven't been able to lose more than a few ounces here and there for the last 2 weeks. It's driving me crazy!
