So, I thought I'd be completely original and put loosing weight near the top of my new year's resolution chart. I have seriously fallen off the eating healthy band wagon.
And it shows.
And every commercial on TV right now is eager to remind me. Nutra-System, Helga's Amazing Ab Buster, The Full Bar, Slim Fast, and Meta- something- that makes your backside shrink.
Not to mention as I'm standing in the grocery store line, the People Magazine reaches out and smacks the Turtle Brownie mix right out of my hands. "Read About These People Who Lost Half Their Body Weight."
Great. I can't even loose the equivalent of my big toe.
Get behind me brownies, cookies, pies, nacho cheese, and pizza.
Hello you darling carrot stick, one point weight watchers yogurt, no fried nothing, and 8 glasses of water a day.
Anyone else trying to get healthy and back on track with good eating habits? It's a bummer these first couple of weeks. My body just screams, "Feed. Me. A. French. Fry! Now!"
The problem is I really don't want just a french fry. I want lot of french fries. And then I'll just justify it by saying I'll do better tomorrow- or next week- or next month. And then I wake up and can't zip my pants for fear of 17 new layers of cellulite busting through.
Mercy.
It's really an issue of self- control. Or the lack there of. And if I let it just go with the eating thing then other things will start to follow. Lack of control over my emotions, my thoughts, my attitude, my... well, you get the point.
And it's not that I'm trying to be Hollywood skinny. It's really more of an issue of not wanting to be distracted by constantly thinking how I should do better with my eating. These thoughts are like annoying gnats taking mental energy that could be spent in other places.
Does this make sense to anyone else? Are you having your own struggle that you've determined you're going to tackle this year?
If so, I was trying to come up with some kind of way for us to hold each other accountable. A friend of mine told me she is posting her weight every day on her bathroom mirror and asking her husband to hold her accountable.
I totally admire her courage and tenacity!
If I did that right now, I would honestly scare my man. I don't want that number to be associated with me in any way.
So, I'm turning to my fellow sisters who feel betrayed by their scale as well and are looking for a little sisterly support.
Any ideas?
