Fat & Sassy
OK….warning here! I am very tired, been up since 0400, so this might get a little weird.
OK, we all have been MIA from here the past couple of months. WHY??? Oh, I know we love treating ourselves like crap, right??? Why, oh why am I doing this to myself?
Anway, last time I posted I challenged myself to eat only “real” foods. I did very good with that for about 3 weeks. It was totally amazing. Honeslty, I know my energy and general sense of well being always increased when I was eating “healthier” in the past, but this surpassed any of that. This time I was fairly strict with only eating “real” fruits, veggies, meats, eggs, nuts, etc. No processed foods. In some ways it was so easy. After the 1st day or so, I really had very little cravings. I seemed to eat the right amount of calories without really trying, and my energy was almost euphoric at times. All that said, is exactly why I have wanted to pull my hair out lately. I have been down the dark ugly, sugar and fat laden road of processed foods again as of late. They are posionous and addicting….I truly believe that more now than ever. Why can’t I break the junk food cycle? Every morning when I wake up, I want to do well, and start my day out right…..then I give in and just blow it again.
I read Jillian Michaels book “Master Your Metabolism”. It is an awesome book. It addresses the issues of how food affects all your hormones, thus metabolism. Even though Jillian overcame being overweight years ago, she had to work so hard to maintain it until she discovered the benefits of eating real foods. Foods that support your metabolism. Now, she still works hard to look as good as she does, but she says it is so much easier.
OK, Eric you told me you are contemplating Weight Watchers. I have been thinking this week, that I need to get back there once again also. My plan was to go to tomorrow’s meeting. So that is my goal. I will do that unless I get called into work ( I am on call tomorrow). I do feel as though food is my addiction and I will probably need a support group of some sorts for the rest of my life to overcome and fight this issue. I do hate the idea of paying for someoen to weigh and motivate me, but hey….if you get to goal, you don’t have to pay anymore…..sounds good to me.
No more excuses, I cannot waste my life away living this way. If we want to get this blog going again, I am game. This time though, let’s not only be supportive of one another, but I woulde also like to see some tough love thrown around. No more letting each other slide. Let’s be like Jillian and get in one another’s face about this.
OK, starting tomorrow…………EAT LESS….MOVE MORE!!!!!!!!! That’s all there is to it! Right?!?!
