2013-02-27 - Day 8

Have you ever gotten onto a plane and prayed the entire way to your seat that the person next to you would be small and skinny? Well, I fly every week for work and I wish that every time I fly.... I always think to myself: "Why are they making the seats smaller and smaller?"

Not so long ago, I realized that it was not the seats getting smaller, it was me getting bigger.... and bigger.... and bigger.....

It is embarrassing to say the least. Do you know why it is embarrassing? Because I am totally capable of walking, running, eating heathy.... These are all choices.... Choices for us to eat an apple and not a chocolate. Eat salad and not a hamburger. The saddest of all is the fact that I love salads, I love fruit and I love vegetables. Why is it that I choose everything hat is bad for me?

And then there is the late night snack..... I will do anything to get that last snack in late at night.... I wait until everyone is asleep and then I start eating.... Like they won't realize that I have put on a "few" pounds....

Why is it that we do this to ourselves? Everyone has an opinion about this and everyone with an opinion has a book that tells you what to do....

There is the food pyramid, Weight Watchers, Jenny Craig, and who knows what else. The bottom line is, I know exactly what I need to do and I give such good advice to everyone around me, but I never follow my own advice.

This needs to stop now. I have a plan and hopefully this time I will stick to it.

In the end, nothing tastes as good as thin feels!!!
