Credit cards and weight loss have nothing in common..

I plug my nutritional facts into the livestrong.com website and get the joys of a daily reminder that I suck at controlling my own nutrition without it.  And the sad fact is, I have been to two nutritionists, been a bodybuilder and plan on a career in nutrition- you know because my plans for a career in forensic psychology, history professor, social studies teacher, massage therapist, grief counselor, corrections officer, cop, kayak instructor, Maine guide, dermtatologist...(wtf else?) have panned out so well for me- I was actually shocked to find that for every pound I lose, they subtract calories!  Subtract my precious, measly calories?  HOW DARE YOU!  The fat chick wants cake!  Apparently, my theory that as I lose weight I will get to eat more is just a pipe dream.  That it is not, in fact, like a credit card- behave well and we extend your credit.  I can only compare it to my student loan debt- pay it down slowly, watch your debt get smaller and the whole process is a painful process that leaves you unsatisfied and POOR- because eating well and owning a gym membership/ home gym is freakin' expensive.  I want to say, "No thanks, I might as well stay fat".
