Tupperwares r us

The one strange thing about doing this competition is never being able to go out to eat at a resturant. I now realize how going out to eat has a lot more to it than the eating factor. Missing out on the social aspect of dining with my friends is what sucks for me. While I was in Greece a couple weeks ago we would sit at dinner for three hours. Of these three hours, actually eating took up about 20 minutes of our time and the rest was drinking wine and living up to our reputation of obnoxious Americans. But those days are long gone...

On the plus side I get to eat almost every one of my meals out of a tupperware container! Every morning when I wake up I measure out all my 6 meals and put each one in its own container. This way when I go out somewhere all I have to do is grab my tupperware, put it in my cooler and I can have a resturant in my car, it's great! Sometimes I even label them with pink post-it notes! Okay maybe its not so great, but I really don't mind it. I am not ashamed to say that even when I am home I have also restored to only eating out of tupperware containers. For some reason this really pisses my mom off. Sometimes she'll say, "Come on Kate, why don't you treat yourself to eating off of a nice beautiful dish." To me a nice beautiful dish is not a treat, an ice cream sundae is a treat, and well thats not going to happen for another 8 weeks. To me transferring my meal to a new "beautiful dish" only adds to the stacks and stacks of shit already in the sink. This leads to my next complaint about only eating home cooked meals, the amount of dishes we can accumulate been two people is insane!

Here is my method of dealing with all the dirty pots and pans. After I am done making my 4 egg white omelette, I put the pan in the sink to "let it soak" with hot water and soap. While this crucial "soaking" period is occurring I'm hoping my mom will walk by and casually wash the pan without realizing it was mine. Just today the funniest thing happened and I knew right away it was something I had to share. My mom attempted to tackle the leaning tower of tupperware in the sink (slightly hungrier and grumpier than usual). She forcefully pulled up the faucet handle. Well, I guess all those bicep curls are paying off because as she did so the faucet head broke right off causing the water to go into some kind of fire hose mode. Her bangs shot straight up in the air and I am pretty sure her glasses got knocked off her face with the force of the water. Needless to say since then she has forgotten about the faucet head being out of commission and I have gotten to relive the magic four or five more times.

WEIGHT LOSS TIP #1: In all seriousness... If your looking to get lean, invest in some tupperware. Doing so can help you portion out your meals and this can make it very easy to carry snacks with you on those long days when your unsure when your going to get a chance to get a heathy meal in. Also, this will prevent you from grabbing that snickers bar in the clutch.
