Doesn't Count If You Eat Standing Up

I had started a blog in October, which I ended up deleting. I thought I was inspired enough to start a blog recording my diet challenges, with the hope of that keeping me honest. After all, I had to be accountable to not only myself but the millions of people I had imagined would read my blog (okay, so I don't claim to be a realist). Delusional, I know, but one can dream.

If only we could all believe that "calories don't count if you eat standing up." What size would I be then, since a lot of my eating includes walking from the refrigerator to some other room in the house or running out the door in the morning with the kid? The way I figure it, I should be a size 2. If only...

However, less than a month after starting and believing in my latest diet fad, I found out I had to have a total hysterectomy due to cancer being present. Needless to say, after four weeks of "resting" and going through the frustration, emotions and thoughts about having cancer and a missing uterus, I've gained 10 pounds. I'd like to blame it on the boredom I've encountered from not being able to go to work, drive, do laundry, go shopping...etc. Because what do I do when I'm bored? Eat. Eat. and Eat. Did I mention eat?

Well, I go back to work tomorrow. I'm not sure my work pants are really going to fit, so it should be an interestingly frustrating morning. I keep thinking....if only those calories didn't count. Maybe I should try cartwheels while I eat?
